Tea of the Week for October 8, 2018!
Amortentia is the most powerful love potion in the Potterverse. It has a different aroma for every person who smells it – and as a muggle, I couldn’t create a tea that smells differently for every tea drinker – so I had to focus on some of the things I would smell if I were to smell a cauldron of freshly brewed Amortentia: chai spices because I love a nicely spiced chai. Strawberries and cream because – YUM! And finally: green tea. I think I love the scent of green tea (over all the other types of tea) because it has such a pleasing, grassy scent that evokes thoughts of my childhood, playing in the green grass of my gramma’s backyard.
So my Amortentia is a strawberries and cream green tea chai. I started with a blend of organic Chun Mee and Gunpowder green teas and added lots of strawberries and some chai spice: cinnamon, cardamom, clove, ginger and nutmeg. And because strawberries are always better with a bit of cream, I added some vanilla bean and marshmallow root.
While I can’t guarantee that brewing this tea for someone will make them feel obsessive, love-ish feelings for you – drinking this tea may cause one to feel obsessive, love-ish feelings for the tea because – YUM!
And – of course this tea VEGAN, organic, gluten-free and allergen-free.
