Top five tea tidbits
Do you like a good piece of trivia as much as we do? This may seem like a no-brainer, but we like bits of tea-related trivia even more. Like many things with a lengthy history, a great deal of legend and myth surrounds the story behind drinking tea. Take, for instance, the legend behind how someone figured out in the first place that if you take leaves from the Camellia sinensis bush and add hot water, you end up with a unique drink. On our website we mention just one such legend: Around 2737 BC, Shennong, the Emperor of China and inventor of Chinese medicine, was drinking a bowl of boiled water when a leaf from a nearby Camellia sinensis bush fell into his drink.

Chai, chai cookies and … Darjeeling?
As the newest member of the two leaves and a bud team, I’m well aware that the fastest way into the hearts of my new coworkers is with baked goods. So when my first day in the office included a guided tasting of chai teas with Richard, it seemed like a no-brainer to go home and bake some chai sugar cookies. Maybe you’re familiar with chai tea, an Assam tea that’s blended with warm, hearty spices like cardamom, cinnamon and cloves. As it happened, I had a never-been-cracked-open bottle of McCormick’s Gourmet Collection Chai Spice Blend in my pantry, which is a blend of those chai spices that can be used to add that mysterious, spicy quality to cakes, puddings and cookies. So I used the spice company’s recipe for Chai Sugar Cookies, with the intention of pairing it with … Continue reading
