tea relaxation at work
who has appeared once before on the adventure, an Earl Grey which is able to turn a stressful day at work a pleasant afternoon tea will appreciate my findings.
am After much trying, I encountered "Traditional Light" on the Earl Grey from the series known English manufacturer. He is originally from Indonesia, and is available as a small and loose leaf in a bag. The manufacturer is a medium strength, and the addition of a small amount of Bergamot oil.
Due to the unique experience of the first test, would I try not to keep the experience for me, to be provided other tea-lovers a few impressions.
Preparation As everyone is aware, the use of tea-cup before brewing rinsed with boiling water, and rubbed dry quickly. Only then can the tea be placed in the cup and brewed with hot water. This approach is important because the infusion goes for tea results in less shock detention of pay. The cup would not previously rinsed with hot water, the temperature change for the tea would be too aggressive, and the tea is absolutely inedible. The dry rub is to ensure that the flavors only through the brewing of the tea from the tea will gelößt.
one button for the first flush pouring water with a temperature of 85 - 90 ° C used. The tested Earl Grey is in this respect so very flexible. To increase the enjoyment level of this water should be used with a particularly high quality first.
The infusion must now, according to the desired thickness, 4 - 5 minutes draw. The cup should now be moved during the non-drawing. As long as the water is not swirled, dei flavors and colors will be released slowly and gentle laid down by tea. Above all, reached the taste of the typical Early Harmony Grey-Bergamot oil taste and its height.
expire after brewing the tea is taken from the scalding water. Now, the infusion should be stirred again vigorously. The addition of milk or sugar should take place only after the stirring, so there may be a first unkonterminierter infusion.
The first sip
The first impression is absolutely athemberaubend. A powerful, yet gentle touch plays around my palate. Slightly smoky, woody, animal. Is now a pleasant warmth felt. The final grade will be gradually replaced by a light citrus flavor, and mixes with this true to a symphony Tastes. I close my eyes, and once I get pictures of green meadows in spring the idea on the flowers as small as the stars in the sky light up. Some butterflies fly around while laughing children run after them. A gentle breeze caresses my hair, and I have a feeling when I would WARRANTIES load taken off the shoulders. I let the first sip slowly sliding down my throat. Swallowing the tea proves a behavior slightly creamy, appears to want to give more of himself, and so leaded a spicy-sweet taste in the throat, which gives me the opportunity for a few minutes to the beautiful thoughts to be recorded.
epilogue The second and third sip get a similar result, which makes me a little time to forget. Which brings with it the success that I am a very relaxed, this relaxation but with the words "Here, a warning", and a look at the distorted face of my boss, unfortunately, a quick end ...
The tea is recommended but warmly.
