Blended to perfection, or close to it

Did you know that nothing is ever really static in the tea industry? Think about it for a minute – every year gardens grow more camellia sinensis, and those “two leaves and a bud” that are plucked for your daily cuppa’ tea are different from year to year.

I’m looking forward to discovering many more tea-centric recipes that make our tea shine way beyond your daily mug. In this case, I used a spice grinder (but you could easily use a mortar and pestle) to pulverize a couple of sachets of Organic Mountain High Chai. That heavenly-smelling powder gets blended in with other spices and used as a rub on pork that will be seared. More of the Mountain High … Continue reading
