I've been wanting to go to tea at the Japanese tea house at Descanso Gardens for a while.
So I did on Sunday. My mom, sister, aunt, uncle and my uncle's new wife all went, too.
It was a beautiful, clear day. An L.A. fall day. It was not too cold, not too hot. Just sunny and clear with a light breeze.
We had our tea, then walked around the gardens.
But what I really liked about Descanso was that while it was cultivated, there was still a wildness about it.
Our tea started with them bringing out cups of the dried tea. We had descriptions of each tea and could smell the dried teas and decide.
They all smelled great. I ended up with Jasmine Pearle tea.
Then we had soup, a small plate of sushi, shrimp, salad and chicken sandwich.
Finally we had a trio of little sweets.
It was all very good and a nice light lunch before our walk.
Anyway, I will quit now with the commentary and just post the photos. I took a lot of pictures, so I am going to parcel them out over the next few days. 
Today is just tea.
