I'm pretty slow in the uptake... are the eggs boiled in tea, or painted in a tea-like manner?Ryoruki wrote:Shelob-- xD yes very edible, there's actually a recipe in TeaChef to use them to make deviled eggs, i've never done that with them, but i have packed them in my lunch before, they make for a good 'in between classes' snack for me :3

Well, I didn't vote. Last year I ordered tea from Tealuxe. My other tea was Rishi from Whole Foods. I feel as if I'm in such a different place now. Thanks to all of you 
I had some gyokura from adagio after lunch when I was working on report cards- I think these might be the best report cards I've ever written.
I am really loving loving loving the japanese greens.
oh, forgot to add that right now on a friday night, i'm drinking a lovely knob creek bourbon- not tea.

You can do this with tea, btw, first tea recipe I ever tried!!! They are really cool and you can actually taste the tea when you eat them.Ryoruki wrote:Trey-- you hard boil the eggs, crack the shells, and then boil them a second time in tea :3 painting them would take forever ,' A' , !!!!!
Gyokuro Kame from O-Cha is really blowing my mind right now. Great stuff. I only brewed 1.5 ounces with 3 grams of leaf. WOW!!! So rich and indulgent.
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

Hi all,
Popping in late here tonight. Today I only brewed one tea - Oooh Darjeeling. Really need to get the tin re-filled now that Adagio has it back in stock.
At a luncheon today (on my day off I sometimes get to be one of "the ladies who lunch" ), the hostess was serving coffee and noticing that I didn't take any, asked if I'd like tea. Oh, yes please! So she brings me her absolute favorite: a bag of Tazo passionfruit herbal. At 1:00 in the afternoon, I would have killed for real, caffeinated tea, but she fortunately had stevia on the table (my fav sweetener) and I graciously drank the cup of bright pink liquid.
Chip - Ok, I'm not Cherylopal, but I brew Adagio's gyokuro in water that's barely warm, for several minutes. Japanese greens aren't my favorite, but I do like that one, especially on ice. I had it the other day and got the kettle too hot. So I put a couple of ice cubes on top of the leaves before adding the water (I like to toss in a few rosebuds, too).

I am very embarrassed to say how I brewed it but I will because even with my very sloppy methods it was soooo delish. I was at work with no real supplies yet. I microwaved my water in my microsafe mug and the temp was about 150-160F- I don't have a thermometer at work but know that 2 min 30 sec will heat the water in my mug to 175F. I put a guestimate of about a 1 tablespoon in a plastic infuser and brewed for about 3 min. My mug is about 10 ounces although yesterday when I was making this tea I thought the mug held more like 14. The director came in to chat and distracted my brewing!Chip wrote:How do you brew this particular gyokuro?cherylopal wrote: I had some gyokuro from adagio after lunch when I was working on report cards- I think these might be the best report cards I've ever written.
I am going to try your methods with your water temps and amount of tea and time later this am. I'm at home where at least now I have a teapot, thermometer etc. and no boss to distract.
