I recently had the chance to sit for a few stolen moments at a cafe (Stone Cutter's) and enjoy a cup of oolong tea. The cafe did a fine job with keeping the brewing process easy while giving me loose-leaf tea! It used in-mug brewing filters. I like this method because: 1) I can control the steeping time myself 2) I can use the leaves more than once 3) I get higher-quality teas with the loose leaf and 4) It's pretty. I hope other coffee and tea shops give this a try!
It is lovely when we find a shop that knows how to make a wonderful cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteI often use this method of brewing a mug of tea at home, but have never seen it used in a commercial shop. I am impressed.
ReplyDeleteWow, I've never been to a shop that actually served tea like this. Terrific! (That pastry looks yummy too, but then I'm reading this at lunchtime ...)
ReplyDeleteMmmm...it was a very tasty chocolate croissant!
