Bosie Tea Parlor

Where are we..? What's your first guess?
Me too. Just like Paris no?

But no, it's New York City!

We're at Bosie...

Bosie Tea Parlor on 10 Morton Street in the Village.

 Kathy YL Chan of A Passion for Food told me about it.

 I doubted real French pastry could be found in NYC but I have been proved wrong again. Voila! L'eclair de creme with Chamomile tea filling.

Kathy brought along these exquisite Japanese sugars, Chambre de Sucre fit for a king. They have been supplying the Emperor for centuries and perfect for my mint tea and Kathy's Matcha Latte...

Et oui, Bosie has a full array of fresh macarons...

A darling shop just the right size for a friendly cuppa - very French in size and ambience - New York needs more tea salons like this.

At least 80 kinds of tea brewed to order...

How does one attack such a pretty eclair?

En garde! Touche!

Bonjour Bosie Tea Parlor!

Nestlé Special T

It seems that Nestlé has decided to let 'Alice' launch their new Special T rather than dear George Clooney of Nespresso.
Nestlé Special T was launched at the Salon du Chocolat with these quite dreamy, surreal posters... A flowery fantasia of tea...
A Panda offers flowery tea to all...
BEAR is fascinated and wants to take Panda home.
He likes the tea as well.
The new gizmo takes pods of tea in 25 parfums/flavors.
Selection rouges - oui absolutement!

Very clever indeed - the berries and cherries are inside the birdcage, whilst hummingbirds flutter and hum around dreaming of getting inside...

These birds prefer their cherries un-caged thank you very much...

But frogs don't mind a bit serving up cups of tea.

Move over cat servers!

Giraffes wearing teacup hats made of tea leaves?

Pourquoi pas! Too perfect for Easter.

I know I have a hedge skirt in the closet somewhere - must look again.

M. gave her seal of approval on the Rooibus Orange.

I am no tea expert but it tasted fine to moi...

Japanese green tea is of course included in the collection...

A cupcake made of tea leaves?

Non! Pas possible!!!

This is taking things too, too far, surreal or not!

One does have limits you know...

BONJOUR SPECIAL T!
