Reading my green tea-leaves

Written By: amodini - Mar• 31•05
I am a tea-drinker. Not too much. But when I do, its got to be that simmered, boiled, golden brown, extremely sweet concoction, which will wake the dead (if needed). So, when at home, will actually go to the pains of boiling this stuff on the fire, for my cuppa tea. This doesn’t actually work very well at work, primarily because of absence of kitchen paraphernelia, and the fact that I hate black tea, and creamer. And I’m too lazy/non-fastidious to get milk from the vending machine. Too much work. The other option, besides being tea-less (so to speak) is the vending machine. However, those of who have experienced vending-machine tea, know that vending machine tea is bad, awful, like poison.

Then the other day, went to this Chinese resaturant, where when I asked for tea, they served up this fragrant, delicately flavored green tea. I drank the whole pot. Asked them what it was, but apparently it was this top secret house blend. So, am now sampling various green teas, in the hope that I will find the one. To date the best I’ve had, as far as commercial, store-bought brands are concerned is the “Good Earth Jasmine Green Tea Blend” . Any other suggestions ?

Apparently, its also supposed to pretty healthy.
