While I like to brew (and if it doesn't turn out right, then there's nobody to blame but myself), I also know how to be a good guest . Sometimes we just have to take joy in the pleasure that brewing tea gives to the host/ess.
Today mostly drinking my own Flintridge Chai. Our Indian Summer weather seems to be coming to an end, which meant a day of much garden & yard work. The 1st steep of full caffeine was to get me going, and 2nd & 3rd to relax. In between had some white peach on ice.
When I'm at home, I definately prefer to brew tea myself. My family often forgets that I do not use milk or sugar, even with black tea. However, I LOVE going to real tea shops and being served delicious professionally prepared teas. In November I will be going to a tea demonstration lecture at the Urasenke Chanoyu Center in NYC. I hope I'll have a chance to sample some excellent teas while I am there.
