I am so happy to be back to drinking most teas. I still have a lot of heartburn now and then but sixteen years on proton pump inhibitors isn’t going to be easy to overcome. I am committed to making it work.
I made egg fu yung again tonight because chickens are ridiculous and they cracked three of the eggs they laid today. They insisted on getting in the only nest box that did NOT have straw in it to lay their eggs and sat on each other and acted like toddlers in general. As long as the crack is superficial and the inner membrane is intact, the egg is okay to eat as long as you do so quickly because it will lose moisture quickly.
Asian food means green tea usually, but I saw this sample first and since it was handy I tossed it to hubby to make. Wow, I am glad he made this one because it was FANTASTIC.
With the food, I couldn’t help but notice how powerful the floral taste of this tea was, but there was enough mineral taste to make it pair awesomely. This is not a dark oolong, or a roast-y oolong. It is light and green-ish and sweet and smooth. And milky! There is a creamy smoothness to this that gives it lots of body.
I am seriously loving this tea tonight.

I had no idea you had chickens. :)
Fjellrev: Yes, I have been a chicken lady for just over three years now! We do not have a rooster because we live in a city neighborhood, but our backyard is very private and it has been safe enough for them to wander freely. I had a broody hen who raised several babies last year that were sneaked under her at night. She let me down this year and didn’t accept the two I gave her, so I am having to raise them myself. Fortunately, it is difficult and it is so hot here I don’t even have to put them under a brooding lamp.
Do you have chickens as well?
Definitely understand what you mean. I always ask for light oolongs here in China after a heavy dim sum lunch with friends in the weekend. The light and floral flavor is just perfect, and it helps me digest.
Teasenz: I want to go to a dim sum place! We don’t have any here in my town, but there are plenty not far from here where my eldest children live.
