I had a nice lunch at the London Tea Room with my friend today. I drank a pot (including resteep) of Shu Puerh, she had a pot of Ginger Lemongrass. Of course, we sampled each others teas. She didn’t care much for mine (& admittedly, it wasn’t my favorite puerh either, but acceptable). I wasn’t really too excited about her selection, but I do love ginger, so I gave it a go. Unsweetened it was just ok, but with a little stevia, it was really very tasty! Ginger, lemongrass, turmeric, licorice root.
I’ve been home teaching for a few hours, sipping the Light Roast Anxi Tieguanyin. It really reminds me of the sticky rice dessert you get at Vietnamese restaurants, with a mild floral scent & a slightly salty taste. I followed the western brewing suggestions & am currently enjoying the 4th infusion.

I have to admit to being more interested in your friend’s brew. Ginger and lemongrass are two of my favourite tea things! They’re both so healthy, too, and haldi (turmeric) is also really healthy. A powerhouse of a tea that sounds yummy.

Want a sample, Nik? I bought some!
Put one in my box too, I like the sound of licorice root in this.
I’m overstocked at the moment, Terri, but thanks so much for thinking of me. =)
