Tea is part of my routine. The art of the sip naturally flows with my daily movements, like a choreographed dance with a cup and kettle that's been thoughtfully memorized. Every now and then I break away from the synchronized steeping and set up something special.
Taking center stage, the tea leaves are always the shining stars. Although, I was introduced to sweets that make the perfect decorative and edible companions. Chambre De Sucre generously gifted me a sampling of their petite gourmet sugars. Japanese artisans have been handcrafting each delicate sugar for over 270 years, staying true to their traditional methods.
Considering my love for petals, I swooned for the Sucre Rond Petit treat adorned with pink, blue and yellow blossoms. Although the tiny orbs and mini pastel hearts are a close second. Did I mention that the utensil above is the tiniest of teaspoons? So, yes, the sugars are in fact petite perfection.
Even though I don't sweeten every steeped sip, these dainty sweets are perfect for special occasion sips. Think afternoon tea of warming lattes served in vintage cups. Maybe stir one into a earl grey lavender latte or orchid oolong infused hot chocolate. Set your table with a few sugars in each petite teaspoon or fill glass teacups for a sweet centerpiece. Which miniature confection makes your heart skip a beat?
