A special issue of Tea Time magazine

The May/June issue of Tea Time magazine has arrived, and it's lovely as always. This time, I am loving those Lemon Tarts on the cover. I realize we can enjoy lemon desserts year-round, but citrus flavored desserts are something I associate with spring and summer. I love that these are embellished with pretty candied lemon slices, for which directions are also included.

I'm also a huge fan of honey, so I was drawn to the Honey of a Tea Party menu featuring lots of honey-flavored treats, including the intriguing sounding Honey-Tarragon Madeleines. But do you know what's my favorite thing about this issue of the magazine?

It's the back cover ad for Harney & Sons, which simply states, "We stand on Dad's shoulders, Mike & Paul Harney." I love this photo of the late John Harney, who was smiling just like that the time I had the pleasure of meeting him at a tea trade show in Atlanta. How fitting that this ad appears in the issue of the magazine that covers Mother's Day and Father's Day!

  2. My copy arrived while we were traveling. It's sitting on my desk, and i'm trying not to open it until I have time to savor it from front to back. After reading your post, I'm not sure I can wait!

  3. I let my subscription lapse, and kinda kept waiting for a niece or neighbor child to come to the door asking to sell us magazine subscriptions, but it didn't happen. Everytime I go to the store in hopes of finding Tea Time it is gone. THIS IS A BIG HINT FOR A MOTHER'S DAY PRESENT - wonder if they'll take the bait this year. Prolly not, haha.

    Thanks - need to go today or they'll be gone again. Thanks, A - those lemon tarts make my mouth water! Hugs!

  7. I love lemon tarts! would love the recipe. Do you know if Tea Time is by subscription only? I have looked for it in the magazine racks many times and can never find it.
