84 Tasting Notes
I think this may be my favourite Japanese green that I own… :)
I know you’re into recipes, be sure to check out Rishi’s website today. Not only is it on sale, but there’s also a sole recipe there that uses this tea in a marinade!:) The thread w/ the 25% off coupon just convinced me even more- I must buy.
Awww! Let’s meet up soon, well as soon as the weather allows. I don’t have a car and I don’t want you having to drive in questionable weather:)
Seeing that recipe got me wondering… type “recipe” in Rishi’s search box and you’ll get 11 of them! The Vanilla Mint Pu Erh hot chocolate interests me, but I couldn’t stand the 1st pu erh I tried so I’m absolutely terrified to invest money in it, even w/ the 25% off coupon.
Was the first pu-erh you tried a Shu or a Sheng? (Cooked or un-cooked?)
Pu-erhs are all sooooo different!
And FYI… You would freaking love both the Pu-erh Vanilla Mint, and the Pu-erh Blood Orange. Just trust me. Neither of them need milk or sugar or anything! Just water!! (That’s how I prefer them!) You really should try them! I don’t think you’ll regret it!
Not a clue, it was Adagio’s Pu Erh Dante. I can’t believe that was in only my 2nd loose leaf purchase! But then again so was white cucumber and that’s still one of my favorites.
Excellent dessert tea… I paired it with chocolate and cream cheese brownies for the supper that I made for friends last night. It was a big hit. It’s easy to see why it was one of the First Place Winners at the World Tea Competition in 2009. http://www.rishi-tea.com/2009WTE-Teas.php
UPDATE: I mulled the Cinnamon Plum Cider as directed by Rishi’s website… OH MY GOSH GUYS. TRY IT. It’s delectable! And get the best quality cider you can find, you’ll taste the difference!
