I have a thing for tea… ask anyone! Green, white, black. Jasmine, chamomile, chrysanthemum. And the latest in my collection is from TEAVANA (www.teavana.com). Gyokuro Imperial: Imagine green tea with the aroma of the ocean. And Jasmine Dragon Pearls: Light, delicate, yet powerfully soothing. I’m no tea connoisseur or expert but I love my teas. Why? They are relaxing, good for my body and soul and of course perfect for a cold afternoon.
Somethings I didn’t know about brewing a cup of GREEN tea:
1. Heat water to about 175 deg F (Not boiling water)
2. Steep for only 45 – 60 seconds (Much more the tea turns bitter)
3. Most GOOD teas can be brewed up to 3 times
4. Best way to store tea is in a tin can
I learn something new everyday! I know one thing, I’ll have a cup of tea this afternoon. Join me : )
Stay warm : )
