Nilgiri Winter Harvest

A black tea available from Pearl Fine Teas, this is one of my favorites and would be a mainstay if it were easier to come by. Lighter but smooth taste compared to most other black teas.

Showing a trick for making any drink extra cozy for the fall: heat up oat milk with some cinnamon, foam it, pour it over a base of black tea, and finish with grated nutmeg. Tastes as good as a warm sweater on a crisp autumn day feels.

Black Vanilla Bean

Blend of black tea and vanilla from Pearl Fine Teas. To be honest, there is an odd bitter/medicinal note that throws off what would otherwise be great. Generally I've gotten very good blends from here but rarely there's a miss.

Candy Corn layered tea failure! Curious about what I leave on the cutting room floor? Not everything works out how I'd like. On the other hand, this honey-cinnamon, Thai tea, foamed milk, blend still turned out tasting fantastic. Happy Halloween!

Sleepy Hollow Pumpkin Spice

Fall blend from Pearl Fine Teas. Blend of black tea with pumpkin, maple, chocolate, and almond. Topped with coconut whipped cream.

Showing the process of foaming milk via a french press, but fall themed. Using a pumpkin flavored black tea, and I infused cinnamon with the oat milk. Rich, creamy, autumn.

Técito

More adaptations of coffee drinks to tea. A cafecito uses a bit of espresso whipped with sugar; instead, I'm using a bit of black tea with sugar and condensed milk. Pour that over brewed Ceylon tea. Not quite the same texture, but a good flavor still.

There are some deceptively simple things to really add to the experience. Something as minor as a cinnamon stick and sprig of mint does a lot to elevate a cup of black tea.

Black Dust Foam

I'm exploring coffee drinks and finding adaptations to make them work as tea instead. To adapt a basic cafe latte, I'm using black dust tea and steamed oat milk, topped with foam.

My specialty, a pumpkin spice moshla cha. Like drinking a warm gingerbread cookie. Used cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and nutmeg for spices, Ceylon tea base, and topped with foamed oat milk and grated nutmeg. Come by and have a sip.

Almond Milk
Ceylon tea
Amber Rock Sugar
Basil

Black tea with fresh basil from the garden. Strong flavor.

I thought I'd stop with the ACAB-themed blends but I mean there's still military occupying and patrolling the city despite being past the supposed 30-day limit, so...

Moroccan mint is one of my all-time favorites. Spoon of gunpowder green, fistful of fresh mint, and especially the pour. I love everything about this: the pour, the taste, the history, the culture and communal sharing.

Almond milk
Cardamom
Amber rock sugar
Black peppercorn

Using a moka pot for an espresso shot, and then the spices and sugar in steamed almond milk. Cardamom gives it a distinct Arab coffee aroma and flavor.

Teh Tarik is one of my favorites to make. Black tea with condensed milk and a pinch of salt, then the pour ('tarik') mixes and foams and aerates the tea. Delicious and fun.

Also did this before heading out for the evening, hence the fit 😉.

Anise
Cinnamon
Allspice
Black peppercorn

Added to a pour-over coffee. It's rare I add anything to coffee besides milk but this is still good. A warning to skip anise if you don't really love it since it highlights the bitterness.

Showcasing a little bit of why I love the "pour" step of tea preparation so much. Just a little thing or two you can do to make it more enjoyable.

Allspice
Carob
Anise (star)
Bohea

Thought I'd do a pirate-themed (aesthetic not authentic) tea after last week. Was thinking spices that might be found in the Caribbean, Red Sea, and Straits of Malacca, plus Bohea tea.

I love this channel! I found it while gathering ideas for an all-nautical TTRPG setting.

My personal favorite is the deep dive (🥁) into the Universal Studios Waterworld stunt show.

In honor of #TalkLikeAPirateDay here's a Bohea tea that could've been something you'd find on a pirate ship in the late 1600s. No I am not talking like a pirate here.

Earthy and slightly tart flavor. Unusual but came out fine nonetheless.
