Understanding Beauty and Truth Tea

Japanese proverb---

If man has no tea in him,

he is incapable of

understanding truth

or beauty.

Happy Tea on Tuesday everyone!

My sister and I had lunch

at a wonderful Asian restaurant.

 I enjoyed a pot of

Jasmine tea,

while she had some green tea.

Both very good and healthy.

The food was delicious too!

 Green tea is the variety

which keeps the original colour of the tea leaves

without fermentation during processing.

So I drink a lot of green tea.

Jasmine tea is one of my favorites...

but then again I have so many favorites.  LOL

Scented tea, like the jasmine tea, is made

by mixing fragrant flowers

in the tea leaves

in the course of processing.

The flowers commonly used for this purpose

 are jasmine and magnolia.

There are many others I've used in my own tea mixes.

I would love to try magnolia one day,

but haven't found it here locally.

Hope you give new tea flavors a try

and...

...visit Kimmie and others for more tea posts.
