★ If you get your other half chocolates today then how about some tea too! It makes having chocolates so much nicer as it compliments the sweetness. I think a good black tea with milk and sugar would go lovely with any valentines day treats! ★<br />

<br />
<b>Where it's grown: </b>Japan.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>How it tastes: </b>Grassy and a little bitter.<br />
<br />
<b>Color of the brew: </b>Green with a bit of white froth.<br />
<br />
<b>When to drink it: </b>When you want a break from the ordinary.<br />
<br />
<b>Brewing Directions: </b>Matcha is powdered green tea, and is not steeped but rather whipped into freshly boiled water. Place 1/2 teaspoon matcha powder in a bowl or large teacup (big enough that you can whip the tea in without spilling). Pour in 1 cup freshly boiled water and stir vigorously with a fork or whisk until frothy.<br />
<br />
<b>Worth noting: </b>Matcha was traditionally used in the classical Japanese tea ceremony (chanoyu), stirred with a bamboo whisk before being presented to the drinker. Today, matcha is also consumed as a refreshing drink with milk and sugar, served both hot and on ice.Jessica in Wonderlandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04393045472038328925noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453036424419612169.post-60878659324333502692011-02-08T07:28:00.001-08:002011-02-08T08:18:36.201-08:00(Matcha) Yamakaen Matcha.<center><img src=http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b211/_AciD_PoisoN_/al_454.gif><br> <img src=http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/7320/dscn0135c.jpg><br />
