Flowery Tea

I've been admiring this wee box of special tea every time I've been in the shop but I don't have a glass teapot and know no-one with a glass teapot I could give it to so up till now have resisted buying it.
However the other day I found a rather nice cut-glass tankard/mug thing in a 2nd hand shop and thought that this would be just the thing to show off this tea. I did worry slightly that it might not be suitable for boiling water... It wasn't. All went well at first but after a minute there was a loud cracking sound and a small crack had shot from the top of the handle to the top edge. Ah well, it still looks quite pretty and isn't actually leaking yet.
(The tea is very good.)
