<\/a><\/div>\nThe tea is delicious too. Who would have thought that you could create a business by raising the common cuppa to a refined art form? Well tea making (brewing) is a ceremony and ceremonies are theatre. Add to the mix a little magic and you have a performance!! All that’s missing is the music (my kettle doesn’t whistle.) Maybe I just have to recite my favourite passage from the play –<\/p>\n
\nI know a bank where the wild thyme blows,<\/span>
\nWhere oxlips and the nodding violet grows,<\/span>
\nQuite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,<\/span>
\nWith sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:<\/span>
\nThere sleeps Titania sometime of the night,<\/span>
\nLull\u2019d in these flowers with dances and delight;<\/span>
\nAnd there the snake throws her enamell\u2019d skin,<\/span>
\nWeed wide enough to wrap a fairy in:<\/span><\/p>\n\nOr put it to music! Not quite the ingredients of the tea, but close.<\/p>\n
Have a magical day!!<\/p>\n
