This thread makes me happy.
At this very moment I'm drinking a cup of genmai cha, and I find myself to be drinking it a few times a day. It's originally a pauper's green tea recipe from japan, in which one would eke out the tea by combining it with roasted rice grains. This gives a nice, nutty undertone to the tea, and I find it best drunk without milk or sweeteners.
Otherwise drinking Bai Hao Yinzhen first thing in the morning, a majestic and subtle white tea to wake up to. I usually drink a glass of iced water first, so I can better understand the taste. It's become something of a ritual for me - taking the time to savour the taste and look out the kitchen window. Great way to start the day.
Black tea-wise, I find myself pretty much exlcusively drinking Lapsang Sounchong and Earl Grey, both from the Covent Garden Tea House, who are wonderful tea importers and a perpetual bane to my bank account. Ah well, one needs vices. |
