Easter with loose leaf tea!

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Helloooooo everyone! It’s been nearly a month since my last blog and even though I have been extremely busy, I have not forgotten about tea or any of it’s amazing flavors and aroma. Despite the fact that I have stopped blogging about tea lately, I haven’t stopped drinking it. If anything, I have increased my intake of tea substantially!

Easter was my first experience at brewing a bit pot of tea for my family. I was a bit worried about having to make so much at once, since I’m used to making only a cup for myself or my husband. However, I decided to buy one of Kokomo Tea’s Chantal Tea Steep with Ceramic Infuser, and thank God I did! Making a large pot of tea for my family was super easy and nearly effortless!

The first pot of loose tea I made was Kokomo Tea’s Darjeeling Malt #235. I decided to start with a Darjeeling, also known as the Champagne of tea, since this Darjeeling tea has a wonderful refreshing mouth-feel and a great flavor that I thought would appeal to everyone. Everyone, except for my coca-cola loving Uncle Jimmy, really enjoyed this loose tea.

After dinner, rather than making a pot of coffee to go with desert I made my second pot of loose tea. This time, I decided to go with a tea blend to appeal to everyone’s sweet tooth. I made a pot of Orange Blossom Oolong and it was an even bigger success than the Darjeeling Malt #235. I absolutely love the way Kokomo Tea describes this tea as tasting just like a creamcicle, because it really does! Everyone thought that this loose tea has the most interesting flavor due to the medium bodied Oolong.

Overall, introducing tea to my family was a huge success. I’ve decided to make it a tradition to make a pot of tea at family get-togethers and it’s one that we all enjoy.
