A Gateway to Loose Leaf Tea
As somebody who gave up not only coffee, but most caffeine as well I am constantly on the look out for good low to no caffeine teas. I enjoy fruit based teas in the morning, and mint teas to close out the day. It helps keep things exciting and is better for my body then four cups of coffee in the morning just to deal with other humans.
While I was wandering through the upper floor of Paddington Station in Ashland Oregon I came across the loose leaf tea section. There looking like individually wrapped candies in a glass dish were Tea Drops. I don’t normally buy loose leaf tea because I don’t have anything to steep it with, and I don’t really enjoy the idea of leaves and herbs in the bottom of my cup. It sounds like accidentally drinking potpurri. So I bought these three flavors to try. There were two other flavors I didn’t try and according to their website they have a lot more flavors than I k new about. I really want to try the strawberry shortcake when it comes back in stock.
These little packets are the kind of loose leaf tea I cam get behind. Each packet contains a small adorably shaped bulb of tea powder. Once you plop it into your cup of freshly boiled water it begins to dissolve. You are met with the inviting smell of brewing tea without the bag.
The thing I did discover is that it doesn’t fully dissolve like I thought it might. You are met with a fine tea powder in the bottom of your cup. So don’t chug! Sip gracefully like a lady. or a fine gentlemen. That aside I would absolutely recommend this product as a gateway to the loose leaf tea experience. It made me want to go out and get a larger tea cup so I could enjoy it longer. If you have this in a store near you pick one up in every flavor or order them from http://www.myteadrop.com.
