Last night went to the London Tea Room for a tea cupping (which is like a tasting), and had a lovely time. We got to try six teas, some of which I'd had before, and learn about their histories, where/how they're grown, etc. AFterwards Allison and I hung around for a bit and talked to one of the owners and workers, where we both practically got offered jobs to work there. I would totally consider a part time job there, and she said she'd rather hire people she knew loved tea and the tea room. I seriously *need* a second job, just the idea of giving up my weekend is saddening, so I'm not sure if I'll do it.
I also found a tea that tastes the CLOSEST to the blood orange tea I fell in love with at the Salzach Hotel in Salzburg. I have tried many blood-orange teas in America (all bagged if I remember correctly), but nothing has even come close. The tea I tried last night was a tangerine ginger tea and is more of a pink than a deep orange, but taste-wise it brought me back to a cold Salzburg winter, studying for my art history test at the top of the cafe overlooking the river. I bought some, to say the least, and I'm really happy about it.
