Tea and Poetry, the perfect blend. Elizabeth Darcy Jones is Britain’s tea poet, one of only two in the world! This is Darcy Jones’ book of poems, “Distinguished Leaves,” where 37 different teas come to life as different characters under the categories of white, green, blue, black, yellow, red and pu’erh and where 3 different ‘Tea People’ come to life as different teas. I recommend taking a quiet moment, boiling fresh water, making your favourite tea with leaves, supping out of fine china, and sitting down to read this little treasure.   Image shows book accompanied by Rose Pouchong from Tea Palace in fine white china from Rosenthal  on an oilcloth tablecloth from Skandivis .
