In my last post I mentioned Phil Gelb, a local chef whom I recently spent the day assisting. While we were chopping and slicing and dicing the day away, Phil made some of the most incredible green tea. It was soooo smooth, not bitter, just perfectly robust. I drank cup after cup, which is not something I usually do. The name of the company that sells it is Cha-no-Aji - The Taste of Tea.
As far as I know, this tea isn't available in stores, so I had to order my own batch immediately! Well truth be told, I bought it for my sweetie but he's been kind enough to share. We've been enjoying both the Genmaicha (green tea with brown rice), and the Night Blooming Jasmine. This is seriously the most fragrant and exquisite jasmine tea I've ever tasted. I think this tea might transform me from a person who likes tea into a total tea junkie.
In other news, for the first time in months, I find myself with nothing on the calendar for the next five days except work, and that feels luxurious. I will finally find myself with time to get back in the kitchen, and hopefully will have delicious things to report about as the week goes on. For now, I've gotta get back to my tea.
