There is nothing like the perfect cup after a very long day. I drink loose leaf which I mostly get from Argo here in the city. I walk by it everyday on 7th Avenue and of course have to stop for a muffin and a cuppa. I'm also a new fan of tea from Tea Chai Te from Oregon. Those of you who live in Oregon (hint, most of my family!) should go to the actual shop and tell me what it's like. Their tea is scrumptious. When you order it online, you can get it in these really cute tins...
But I also have to try new flavors, so I just buy a few ounces of new ones...like Gingerbread Chai...yum!
Decided just on organic peppermint tonight and made it in my Breville Tea Maker. This unit was a bit of an extravagance, but SOOOO worth it.
It makes the tea at the perfect temperature and steeps it for the perfect amount of time. The result is extraordinary. Totally changes the flavor of the tea when it's made right. The basket drops down when the water is the perfect temperature, steeps and then automatically comes back up.
Mate is my favorite type and I drink it all day long at work...once I made it in my Breville it was even better. The taste is richer and stronger. Same with Assam. Delicious.
The perfect cup of peppermint for sweet dreams...
Where did you get the tea maker?
