This is a cup I bought for a charity called R U OK.
In 2009, Gavin Larkin chose to champion just one question to honour his father and protect other families from the pain his endured.
The extraordinary story behind R U OK? was brought to life by Australian Story in 2011. In 2017, six years after they first aired the story of Gavin Larkin, they returned to his family to see how Gavin's extraordinary legacy has helped sustain them through their grief.
He started this as his graduation project called Landmark
I love this T2 tea maker. You brew the tea in it
Then you pop it on your cup and it drains away
You've got to know the capacity of your cup, as you can see its abit short, so I just top it up with water
Again our local cafe does lots of yummy dishes, this one is one of my favourites called Singapore Noodles, I like to eat it with a chilli and soy sauce that they make, I need to make some more of my own as I've now run out. that will be a hot affair and I have to cook it outside or risk choking myself on the chilli fumes
Lovely looking food Bridget, and a great a cup with a great message!

What a great way to brew tea-fun. Loved the message of the cup too-and your meal looks delish Happy T hugs Kathy
ReplyDeleteI was so glad you shared this R U OK? story. I'm sure many don't know about it.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your tea brewing piece put out by T2. I have some T2 sent me by a friend in Australia. It is wonderful tea.
Your food is definitely making me hungry and it appears to be quite beautifully prepared, too.
Thanks for sharing your T2 tea maker and the R U OK mug with us for T this Tuesday.
I am not familiar with Yum Cha but it sure looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have heard about this tea maker. I love that it drains it right into the cup.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
