“Ahhhh….”
That happy sigh is the only thought my brain can come up with right now. There’s a cup of special tea sitting in front of me right now and just the scent of the steam rising from the pale liquid is sooo satisfying.
Pearl tea. Ever heard of it? Neither had I till I had some at a tea house in Washington D.C. Worth gushing about. As I am here…
The variety I’m sipping today is green tea from China. Each fresh tea leaf is individually rolled into a little ball and dried, hence the name. They look like little pearls and they taste just as extravagant. Don’t ask the price, it’s irrelevant. That’s what I tell myself, anyway.
dozen pearls of wonder
steeping…
Steep it in water that’s just come to a bubble, not boiling. Wait 3 minutes. The little pearls unfurl and release a glorious aroma along with a very smooth taste. No cream or sugar for me, just the tea please.
Yea, that’s what I’m talkin’ about. Love in every cup. Hope you get to try some!
