This evening, we took our friend Alice out for her birthday at our local Japanese restaurant. They serve a great salad with their signature Asian ginger dressing and Genmaicha tea. We usually finish our meal with green tea ice cream. Today we got an extra order for Alice. By the way, I've noticed how many Japanese restaurants have switched from Sencha to Genmaicha.
Alice has our Zingy Tang tea each morning at work. This is one of our most popular green blends - green with ginger, orange and peach. To reduce caffeine, she always pours out the first cup and then enjoys the second cup. Recently, her co-worker, a dedicated coffee drinker, who believes tea is only for when you are sick, has been quietly enjoying Alice's first discarded cup. She has now gone from reluctantly accepting the first cup to asking for it, then making a cup for herself and, finally, purchasing it for herself when last she visited our Tea Room.
Isn't life grand!
How does one set out to describe a favorite tea? Especially when you like other teas. But Dian Black, hands down, is my favorite tea! I find that is the best way to start the day. No harsh flavor notes. My tasting buds and Dian Black are on the best of terms. Silver Tips has brought a wonderful tea into our palette of excellent teas.
Nothing I love better than watching anime and sipping on this jasmine. And by the way, silver tips has incredible customer service too.
Thank you for your very kind words, Delaney and yes, this is a wonderful Jasmine - beautiful in appearance and in the cup. So glad you are enjoying it.
