So, I have been in Germany. (Derk, sorry I wrote it wrongly in discussions board, I just arrived back home yesterday evening)

And can Martin go through cities without stopping in tea rooms, stores and such without buying any tea? Nope, I have another load of tea back with me. I shall sort them one day, but it will be next week at earliest. Teerausch (Tea madness) is tea shop in Dresden, Saxony. My first stop. And also, Google knows me too well, so they have showed this to me, when I was planning the trip. It is located in wonderful Kunsthofpassage. Quite small-ish and they offer also some tea to enjoy there, however I did not had time. So, day before I went throgh their website and wrote a list.

The staff spoke a good English and without any problems she prepared the teas for me (and Courtney, whom I shared this tea room with). During preparing it, I was strolling through the shop, picked two blooming teas (just for 1.50€ and fun) and Pipacha. A tea I though I do not need, but when I saw it there, I just picked it up and thought “who cares?”. So, I have 75 grams of that oolong. If anyone wants a little share, I can… add it to Georgian order or send it separate, if you haven’t joined group buy.

Anyway… urgh, I digressed, I have prepared this tea for my photos slideshow for myself. One teaspoon, boiling water, 2-3 minutes steep as recommended. Please note it is dates-fig-lemon tea.

I do not remember first one much; you know, speaking about experiences and enjoying the tea, doesn’t go well. But second steep is very nice. NIce base, quite bold, then the sweet notes of dates, sultanas and figs hit my mouth and it is finished with round and refreshing lemon flavour. Highly enjoyable. I little regret I have only 20 grams. But for 1.26 € a wonderful tea. Can’t believe it was so cheap! Yum.
