Sipping this tea while I am waiting for the milk to come up to the right temp.
I am making Chevre cheese with all this goat milk around.
I am milking a friend’s goats while she away and have tons of milk around.
So, I am making into cheese, buttermilk and ice cream.
Anyway, I realized while I was sipping this tea that I never logged it.
It is a pretty standard Sencha.
Which is good, because that is sometimes exactly what I want.
Dry leaves smell of hay drying in the sun.
The tea itself does not actually have much of a odor, very light hay smell.
The color is a light yellow.
Taste is grassy and bright.
A bit of a bite or astringency at the back of the throat.
A very enjoyable afternoon tea!
Preparation
Wow! I am absolutely in awe of you! Cheese! I’ve never had it homemade!
Oh delicious! I wish my daughter had some goats on her farm. She has the room and a barn and knows how to make cheese and me to eat it! The ice cream…oh yes! So good! Lucky you! Do you make feta too?
Love pizza with feta and sun-dired tomatoes :) Doggone it, y’all are making me hungry!
Gmathis: Cheese can be intimidating, but it really is not hard to make at all:)
Bonnie: Goats are simply awesome. But I grew up on a Goat Milk Farm, so maybe I am biased;) And yes, I have made feta before.
OOohh lucky! I love goats milk! What a treat =)
I’ve been looking at mozzarella recipes lately, thinking I’d like to try making it at least once. Of course, I’d like to try everything in the world at least once :D
Me too Skulleigh! Except live monkey brain and shark fin soup..
This is a great Rooibos Tea - I was surprised what great tasting tea this is - If you have never tried Rooibos this is one to start with — It smells great when you open package and it brews up this beautiful red - I drink this everyday too - This is my late afternoon eve tea - This is a great bargain too - I paid 12.99 on amazon for 16 oz - Their web site has a higher price for some reason - It tastes like a really good smooth Rooibos tea — I would recommend this tea to try
This is my go to tea. I drink it all day non-stop. I love the rich tobaccoy flavors. Low tannins means you can steep it for an extended period of time, it won’t get bitter, and it doesn’t stain you teeth like camellia sinensis does. I have found that fresh ginger root goes really well with rooibos as well. It’s also pretty cheap on Amazon which is nice because I go through about a pound per month.
Preparation
To start, this tea was an amazing deal, I got one pound for 13 bucks on amazon. When brewed correctly with 2 tsp. per 8oz. with boiling water for 7 minutes, it tastes amazing. It has a beautiful deep reddish amber color that goes hand in hand with the taste. This tea has a very strong aroma of acorns, and tastes woody, nutty, sweet, and has slight notes of honey.
