what's in my cup....

 
I really am amazed at gunpowder green tea.  Each leaf is individually hand rolled.  I can hardly wait try using our tea leaves to create this tea.  I was also rather intrigued by the Sri Lanka chai mix and decided to try a slow cook gunpowder green chai today.  I mixed our gunpowder green leaves with cinnamon, cardamom, cummin seeds, coriander, curry leaves, lemongrass, fenugreek seeds and a small amount of ginger.  When the 2 hour steep was completed, I strained the tea, added soy and raw sugar.
It seriously awoke my mind and soul today!! 
If you know me you know I needed some energy and awakening as of late.
Enjoy the rest of your day!! 
What's in your cup?
