Wenshan Baozhong from Red Blossom Tea Company

Auggy drank Wenshan Baozhong by Red Blossom Tea Company

Iced from yesterday. Disappointingly bland. Not sure if it is the tea or me, but considering how yummy this tea is hot, I’m guessing I didn’t steep long enough before icing.

That makes me feel like I’ve put it on a cake. Which I didn’t. Though now that I think about it, I’m intrigued by the thought of tea-flavored icing.

ETA: Hmm, maybe it isn’t me because as the tea warms up a bit, more of the yummy flavor comes out. So I think this is a tea that is best hot.

Hmm…tea icing. Could be scrumptious. Could be a disaster waiting to happen. It does make one wonder. Someone has to have made this. I believe I might have heard tale of a green tea cupcake around these parts.

Oooh, green tea cupcake. I’m intrigued!

Icing-wise, I’m thinking of a pound-cake like icing. Maybe on a green tea cupcake. Hehe.

In Isa Chandra Moskowitz’s “Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World” she has a recipe for green tea cupcakes with green tea glaze and almond flowers. Her recipes are absolutely out of this world. You might want to take a look at that. (Or, come to think of it, I might want to try this out.)

Tea icing does sound yummy to me.

@Carolyn: OMG, that sounds good. I’m going to have to hunt that down. Thanks!

I’ve decided to brave the slowness that is Steepster because I miss seeing all the good teas folks on here discover! Sometimes my notices for PMs and such have been questionable. Email me at your own risk at aug3zimm at gmail dot com.

1 – 10 – Bleck. Didn’t finish the cup.
11 – 25 – Drinkable. But don’t punish me by making me have it again.
26 – 40 – Meh. Most likely will see if the husband likes it iced.
41 – 60 – Okayish. Maybe one day I’ll kill off what I have in my pantry.
61 – 75 – Decent. I might pick some up if I needed tea.
76 – 85 – Nice. I’d probably buy but wouldn’t hunt it down.
86 – 100 – Yum! I will hunt down the vendor to get this tea!

Not that anyone but me particularly cares, but there it is.
