A Panda Express has just opened near us and we have never eaten there, so we took advantage of the BOGO coupon and gave it a try tonight. I made a huge pot of this tea to go with it.

This was a gift from derk. Many thanks, derk!

Dry leaf smelled much like the black version, and steeped tea aroma also revealed the close relationship between the two. The green version is super grassy, and that is Ashman’s exact description. I thought I detected mineral notes here but he did not.

It was great with food. We really downed that huge pot easily. It is one of those teas that you drink fast somehow, and I found myself asking Ashman to top me up constantly. Not astringent or sour, light body and very “wet”.

I didn’t tell Ashman until we finished it that it was grown in Alabama. He was impressed!

Thank you, derk!

Panda is on our regular Sunday-after-church rotation. What did you try? Hubby likes the green bean chicken; I usually end up landing on the orange chicken. (Landing on an orange chicken…now there’s a mental image for you!)

We had orange chicken and mushroom chicken. We ate half last night and tonight will switch leftovers so we each get to try two things. I don’t remember seeing green bean chicken, but a friend told me they used to have an awesome almond chicken that he mourns as it is no longer on the menu.

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
