Blooming Teas 3

Today I bloom my 3rd tea. Well, actually I bloomed it last night. I gave up on trying the tea because it is really bad, but the show is fun, so why not bloom it in the evening since I don't have to worry about caffeine keeping me up all night? The down side of working first shift is that I usually only get to use my special brewing methods on the weekend (unless I feel like dragging more teaware to work (I do sometimes), but I don't take tea pets, and I don't take pictures of my brews because I'm already weird enough to my much younger office mates. So, here's where my tea started out.
The bag says it is cranberry flavored. I did not smell cranberry at any time while brewing this tea.
It's fun to watch them unfurl. The yellow spot showed up moments before I could take the picture. At first I was thinking of it as a bloodshot eye slowly opening. This was another very vertical tea creation. I don't have a clear, non-textured vase to bloom these in, although now that I think of it I could use a glass. Of course all of my non-decorated glasses are tinted different colors, so you still won't get the full effect of the tea bloom. Oh well, here's what I ended up with.
Now to go drink some good tea! I woke up, cleaned my bathroom, and am washing my bedding. It's time to start the slacking, it is Sunday after all!

    They are pretty. They make me think of gazing at the plants in puddles after a heavy rain.

      Agreed, they are pretty, and they provide entertainment. I always liked looking at plants in water when I was a kid (still do).

Equatorial Guinea

Equatorial Guinea Today we go to Equatorial Guinea , which consists of "Rio Muni" - Continental Equatorial Guinea, and 5 small islands known collectively as Insular Equatorial Guinea. When researching this country, I found "osang" tea. I found the name only, no instructions on how to make it. Mystery tea Upon doing some research, osang is a generic name for African milk tea. I couldn't pin down any specific flavors used for this region, just a general description of how people all over Africa make this tea. The base is black tea with milk. The suggested add ins are shown below. Tea Masala (thank you Indian food store), ginger, cardamom, or lemongrass. No, don't use them all together. Today I'm in the mood for cardamom, so that's what I used. The one blog I found about making this suggested a 1:1 ratio of milk and tea. I used 3/4 cup (about 200 ml) of each, with 3 cardamom pods. As usual, you can add sugar to taste. I decided to add the c...

Have a cup of Christmas

Image
I'm skipping ahead just a little bit because of a Central American holiday tradition. The hibiscus flowers are in bloom, and it's tea season. In this part of the world, hibiscus tea is known as "sorrel" instead of " bissap ". While my research on the tea of North America is not complete, I found that several countries make sorrel for Christmas. Trinidad and Tobago , the southern most Caribbean islands. They gained their independence from the UK in 1962. They are a continuation of the Andes mountains from Venezuela. They have a tropical climate, and temperatures vary widely between day and night. They used to grow a lot of sugarcane, but the last of the sugarcane estates was closed. Cocoa and coffee are also export crops. Most of the population is rural, and is made up of people from Africa, East Indian, and mixed race.  Saint Vincent and the Grenadines , are part of the Lesser Antilles in the eastern Caribbean Sea. These islands gained their independen...

Ataya/Waraga/Tuareg Tea

"Berber Whiskey" What do you make on a Saturday afternoon when you're tired? I mean really tired. Like you just woke up from a 3 hour nap, and all you want to do is go back to sleep. I will admit I was a bit leery of this one when I found out how it was made, but this is wildly popular so I had to try it. This version of tea has many names, and some sources say that this is used like alcohol in cultures that forbid drinking and using drugs.  Ataya (or attaya - I've seen it spelled both ways), also known as Tuareg tea (so named for the Tuareg tribe), is a very social tea ceremony in West Africa. Most reviews say to expect to take at least 3 hours and have several rounds of tea. Over time, each round of tea is supposed to get milder and sweeter. Sometimes instructions say that mint is added. It is popular in many countries: The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau , Senegal (The Gambia is actually inside Senegal with a small border on the Atlantic), Sierra Leone , Mali , Mau...
