Mei Nong Tea



Saturday 13 February 2010

Okay, so this photo is from yesterday, technically, but it's really cool. After the umbrella place, we went to a neat traditional teahouse, where they make a special kind of local green tea. It is peanuts and sesame and puffed rice and other grains all ground up, and then ground together with green tea powder, and then ground some more with sweet red beans. In the end, you have a thick powder that you mix with hot water to make a green tea with a very complex flavor. Delicious, and a fun teahouse experience!
