PICKLE TEA
I shit you not, I am drinking PICKLE TEA.
You see, Adagio recently sent me a "gift" of their "savory sampler" (their spelling, not mine) teas when I ordered a few refills of my regular tea. The sampler contained some nice looking stuff like Rooibos, and some weird looking stuff like Artichoke Green Tea, Stweet Potato black tea and what I'm trying this morning: White Cucumber tea.
Now white tea is VERY subtle in general, and the Silver Leaf stuff I tried last week was DIVINE. You had to really take a deep breath and taste it and it had to be brewed and steeped just right, but then it tasted like HAPPY.
CUCUMBER white tea, tastes like white tea with the subtle aftertaste of fermented cucumbers in it.
To my pickle-hating tastebuds which believe that pickles are just perfectly good cucumbers gone off, this tea tastes just like someone poured a tablespoon of pickle juice in a perfectly good tea.
In other words: I won't be finishing this cup, let alone the other 1.5 oz of the sampler. Does anyone else want to try it? akujin00 are you a tea drinker? Anyone else?
