After much taste-testing, I have discovered that I really like Oolong Tea. And no, not just because the name is fun to say--Oooooolong--but because the taste is smooth and as close to my normal tea as I can get.
My normal tea is Lipton. Regular, plain old tea. Nothing fancy, nothing flavored, just tea. The tea you get in many restaurants (well, maybe not Lipton, but Orange Pekoe/Pekoe Cut black tea.)
I've tried just plain Ceylon, I've tried Darjeeling, and just about everything else, but Oolong is my favorite so far in plain teas. Which is nice, because I ordered a bigger tin of it from Adagio.
I also ordered tea from Teavana, and both boxes arrived on the same day! Wow.

Bread, Soup, and Tea. Probably in that order.

Bread, Soup, and Tea
Bread, Soup, and Tea are three of my favorite things to both make and eat. I'm embarking upon a journey for however long it takes to actually make the recipes I mark in my cookbooks. This will be where I'll post my thoughts on those recipes, and post some of my own as well.
I hope you enjoy your stay and come back often. I'm aiming for updates at least once a week.

I just learned an interesting thing from the tea shop lady I met the other day.
Unlike black teas, you can use the same Oolong (and green tea) leaves to brew more than one cup of tea.
You go by taste, but if it's good tea, you can get as many as four cups from the same leaves.
I'll have to try that! This seems to be pretty good tea, really. At least as far as I know. :)
