Miscellaneous Tea Photos

Over the past year I have taken a lot of photos of tea and myself with tea with the intention of posting about them. However as time passed I forgot what many of these photos were supposed to commemorate. The only one of the following that I clearly remember is the top left which is me being pleased because one of my friends made fan art for this blog. I am still very pleased about that.

Matcha (From The Spice Tea Exchange)

I know that I've expressed this before but it still astounds me how good matcha is in everything. Seriously everything. Just now I was eating some plain yogurt and I wanted to put something in the yogurt but I was all out of jam. I looked through my cabinets for anything that would make my yogurt better and I realized that I had a new bag of matcha that I yet to utilize. It took several teaspoons of matcha powder before the yogurt was adequately flavored but the result was marvelous. I also added a bit of strawberry enhanced agave which added to the delightfulness.

The matcha I have now is from The Spice Tea Exchange. It is combined with milled cane sugar which is not that noticeable but is generally pleasant. I've been very pleased with all the teas I've gotten from The Spice Tea Exchange so far including a Coconut Oolong and a Pear Carmel Black Tea that are both a constant force for good in my life.

Tea Juice? (Giant Peach From Tazo)

Recently I have become aware of a lot of teas that walk a fine line between tea and juice. There comes a point when a tea is made out of so many fruits that I almost question whether I am still drinking tea. I have been exploring this realm of fruity tea/ tea enhanced juices in ernest of late since I've been going through a bit of a juice faze. Today I found a tea/juice combination that I found particularly pleasing: Tazo's Giant Peach. I was fascinated by it because instead of just adding fruit to tea it adds actually juice. It combines green tea with peach juice, peach flavor, apple juice and ginger juice, all of which seem to harmonize together to create a soothing beverage that satisfies both my tea an juice cravings.

I was planning on taking another library picture with my Giant Peach tea but I found a friend on the way there so I took a picture of her with the tea in a different part of the library.
