I’m still trolling for antidotes to the tartness in this one. Tonight’s alchemic experiment was a generous spoonful of Baked Apple Rooibos (English Tea Store). We may be onto something. The roo tones down the tart and pumps up the apple pretty nicely. Now it’s light and fruity—just the ticket after a day of feasting and snacking.
(P.S. U.S.-based or not, I’m thankful for such a lovely, eccentric, creative, well-read, eclectic, geeky, cultured bunch of tea friends. Good people, you are!)
Happy thanksgiving! My dad and I had a pot of Jin Jun mei that we savored all day while we digested.
Mmm! I need to find an excuse to grab a buddy and share a pot from the greenhouse tea shop—still one of the most popular hangouts in town.
