It's getting hot out there. It's only June and we have a rare heat advisory out today. One of the things you can do to stay cool and energized is make yourself a iced coconut matcha latte. Its a very easy recipe to follow. (Check out the video at the end).
It's getting warm and toasty out there. Guess what's it time for? Iced Tea!!!
Let me share with you today a very easy method of making iced tea. It is a method we use at Leaf Tea Bar. It is a very easy way to make iced tea this way. There is no need to wait for the tea to cool, and you can make this practically with any tea. I love it with Darjeeling first flushes and other lighter delicate teas.
Making matcha may appear daunting to beginners, but actually it is not that difficult. Once you have made it a few times, you might wonder why you brought yourself so late to this tea party!
Sometimes it's fun to mix up traditional tea a bit.
For this summer one of the recipes we concocted was iced Dragon Well (Lung Ching - Jade Mountain) infused with peach. You are welcome to help us name it.
Sen Rikyu, the great Japanese tea master said: "Chado (Way of Tea) is nothing but bringing hot water to tea leaves and drinking it." We adopt the master's way in making of Darjeeling tea for this video. This is a simple but tried and tested method for getting the best out of your Darjeeling tea.

The other day I got chatting with a customer about the best way of making Hibiscus Iced Tea. After looking around a bit, and trying out some ideas, I think the following two are the best recipes for Hibiscus Iced Tea. (If you think you got better ones, feel free to share. Summer is approaching and it good to stock up on ideas to make it more fun!)
I thought I would share this recipe with you - goes nicely with our Organic Happy Breakfast Blend. Scrambled Tofu is great with toast. I am always happy to replace eggs, just so my cholesterol stays within a “happy range.”...
