Inspired by a Chinese dessert eaten at special family reunions (round glutinous rice balls filled with peanuts in ginger syrup), the green tea base balances the warm properties of peanuts and ginger.
Ingredients: Organic Green Darjeeling, Organic Ginger, Roasted Peanuts
Recommendation: 1 full teaspoon per cup. Stop kettle before boil and steep for 3-4 minutes. Taste after 3 min mark, ensuring it’s not too bitter for your liking.
(If you do let the kettle come to a complete boil, pour water in your mug/tea pot and wait for a minute or so before you steep the tea leaves. By then the temperature should have cooled to about 80 degrees Celsius, the ideal for preparing green tea).
Net: 45g in resealable stand-up foil pouch to keep your tea fresh
No flavourings added, just what you see.

A couple of months ago, I signed up for Amanda ‘SoggyEnderman’ Wilson‘s Tea Advent Calendar. It’s been sitting, waiting patiently, for December to arrive.
Today has arrived.
I opened my box (it looked like a chinese carry out box) and pulled out the first envelope.

I followed the directions she provided and steeped.

Three minutes later, I have tea.

The aroma is gingery. The tea is a little cloudy, but as I drank, things settled and the tea cleared somewhat.
I was a little disappointed in the ginger flavor. It wasn’t as strong as I hoped. Nor was the peanut flavor.
But it was still nice.
I’m excited to see what tomorrow’s envelope brings.
I was on the same boat, I thought it was a nice tea but really wished the peanuts or ginger (or both) would have been stronger.
I started my DF advent calendar too! This tea sounds interesting, I think I would like peanuts in a tea. I can see it being genmaicha-esque. :)
I had hoped it would have more of a nutty flavor, too, toasty roasty or something, but it didn’t. It was a nice green that shined through, but I was missing the other flavors that I wanted.
