~ Delightful Teas For The Hot Season~

Here are a few quality Le Palais Des Thés (look in my blogroll for the link to their site) tea blends which I highly recommend you to try. They a
re so refreshing, intoxicating and enjoyable. Perfect for drinking in the morning (Thés Des Sources & Thé Des Sables), in the afternoon (Darjeeling) or in the evening, after dinner (Blue Of London) or for making ambrosial ice teas and luscious baked goods.

Gracianne said...

Tu sais a quoi me font penser tes bleus, tes nuages duveteux, tes verts petants? Aux films d'animation de Miyazaki. Ca a un petit cote irreel, feerique.

Giusy said...

Un paradiso terrestre!! Non ho ben capito dove siano state scattate le foto! Ma l'unica cosa certa è che è molto lontano da me!
Buona giornata!

Merci pour cette jolie promenade!
j'ai beaucoup aimé les paysages, mais j'ai un faible pour la statue de femme. Elle est superbe et me rappelle les petites venus aurignaciennes du paléolithique supérieur. Je les ai toujours adorées!
J'espère que tu vas bien!
Plein de bisous:)

boljo said...

Une ballade au pays des thés, des sculptures et la nature. J'ai beaucoup de mal à me décider entre le thé des Sables et ses parfums exotiques et l'acidulé de celui aux 7 agrumes.

OysterCulture said...

What incredible photos, as always you inspire.

Rosa's Yummy Yums said...

25BAR: I took those pictures around the Geneva countryside, in Switzerland...
