Grapefruit Green from Lupicia

My friend who loves black tea and puerh came over for lunch today. I made Vegetarian Tower, which is whatever veggies you have on hand, steamed, stacked on toasted English muffins, with Brie melted over. I served this as our first of three teas.

When I asked my friend if she liked grapefruit she made a face but agreed to try the tea anyway. The surprise for her was that she liked it a lot. The surprise for me was that when paired with food, this tea changed a lot. I felt like I was drinking a cup of green tea while someone was sitting very very close to me peeling a juicy orange that was spraying a fine mist of fresh juice in my face. Oh my goodness! Now this might have to go on our next Lupicia order!

Her reaction was the same as mine. The turning to juicy orange sounds amazing!

Oh, I don’t know what sounds better. The tea or the Vegetarian Tower.

It was yummy, Meg! We used zucchini, yellow squash, and red, orange, and yellow sweet peppers but sometimes add thinly sliced carrots, sautéed onions, tomato slices, gen bell peppers, mushrooms…it’s all good!

Mmm. I will have to try it. I think even my family would love it!
