Thanks to all for the encouragement!
It is good that you did, prevents me from driving to Maryland to make sure you tried it.
Now just listen to Victoria's precise 12 step brewing method for TKY...and don't mess up!!!!

I do have a guest room, the Tiki bar on the island opened last night and a brand new tea room opened across the street last week. Good time for company!
I think I'll ignore the 12 step method, throw it in my ingenuiTEA, and pray!

Well, my method is easier...11 steps...tenuki's is 15, so beware of him.
The closest thing to a tearoom here is Starbucks. Count your blessings!

Men do like to exaggerate with numbers
and have the last word
so keep that in mind.
Adagio's TKY is one of my favorites, and brewing it in you ingenuiTea is perfect, it gives the leaves lots of room to expand and also is handy for a second steep.
