First tea from the TTB. I probably could use the caffeine, as I don’t want to fall asleep too early, but I also don’t want to be up till late. So I figured we’d start off with something new to my palate.
Smells like curry. I bet this would make a good curry base.
I’m generally pretty good about reading ingredients due to my allergies, but I completely skipped over the listed salt. Boy, was that awakening in a weird way. I’m sorry but… what in…. the… heck…. This is a cooking tisane… not something I want to drink. Not with that amount of saltiness. This actually would make a really good soup base. Just add some soba and tofu or chicken and bok choy. But on its own… I know it’s good for me, so I’ll finish it, but it’s going to be a struggle. I need some water…
UPDATE: I decided to try some soba noodles from dinner in it. Tasty, but would be better thickened as a curry. I can’t drink the rest. It’s making me too thirsty. I will need to keep drinking a glass of water every sip. This is not enjoyable…
Ha yes this one was shocking
I honestly want to know if the people who tested it really thought people would straight up drink it and not use it for cooking. I make tea cooking blends and this is great for that but drinking… good grief
Ume Kombu Cha from Japan is like that for me… in Japan they will just drink it straight up, but for me, I have to put ramen noodles in it and use it as a broth because it is very salty.
