No TEACUP for Teacup Tuesday

I don't have any lovely or eloquent teacups to show, but 

I would like to share with you a couple of wonderful

things I found at an antique store.

I call them Ling-Ling and Shi-Shu. I have had them for

a very long time. Some time ago, when I had time to 

create lovely things, I purchased antiqued what-nots

to add to my creations. Before I could use Ling-Ling

and Shi-Shu for an art project, I had to be swept away 

into the corporate world never to have time to create

another art piece.

They are a couple of very adorable pieces.

I am not sure, but are they Japanese or Chinese?

I don't remember Ling-Ling's face being like this and I

wonder if it would be OK for me to touch her up.

I am not sure if that would "de-face" her, so to speak.

What do you think?

And Shi-Shu looks like he has a milk mustache now.

LOL!

It seemed appropriate to introduce Ling-Ling and Shi-Shu

so that I can introduce a tea...

This is TAZO, "The Reincarnation of Tea"
It is said that various herbs and natural remedies such as green tea
may be helpful in reducing symptoms and preventing acid reflux.
Of course, caffeine can be a factor, so you might have to go
with the decaffeinated kind.
Before using herbs and medicinal teas, check with your health
practitioner to be sure they are right for your condition.

It says it all on the tea bag.
The Chinese have used green tea medicinally for centuries.
According to research, green tea possesses properties that may
be helpful in reducing symptoms of acid reflux,
esophageal cancer, and Barrett's esophagus

This green tea sounds DIVINE!

I love this tea. With a flavor of lemongrass and spearmint

sets this green tea to sooth what ails you.

Lemongrass research shows that it has properties to
kill cancer cells in vitro,while leaving healthy cells unharmed.
And it seems that Spearmint has some great properties, too.

And you can have this fantastic tea, hot or cold.

Here's to your health!
