Having a tea filled breakfast

With all the available tea products ranging from regular tea, to jams and tea sprays and even desserts like cookies and ice cream, we decided to have a tea filled breakfast on Sunday.

Here is what we had.

- Some tea from Paper Street Teas. Mainly the earl grey cream, long island strawberry green tea, strawberry kiwi herbal, belgian chocolate rooibos, and their keemun panda.

- Raspberry quince tea jam by Republic of Tea.

- Vanilla bean tea honey by Republic of Tea.

- Green tea mochi

Here's how we did.

Breakfast:

3 cups of earl grey cream
2 pieces of sourdough bread
1 three cheese omelette with green onions and bell peppers
2 breakfast sausages

On 1 side of toast I put the raspberry tea jam. This tea jam tasted surprisingly good with a hint of tea. I thought it would be over powering but it wasn't. The raspberry characteristics definitely played well with the tea. It almost tasted like raspberry tea but sweeter.

Side 2 took on the vanilla bean honey. The vanilla taste was again, just a hint, but enough to notice. It was weird tasting vanilla on a piece of toast. But I suffered through it for everyone here. I will definitely try a more appropriate flavor next time. But the vanilla honey did wonders for my earl grey cream. It gave it a more lively vanilla flavor.

Now for dessert...We picked up a package of Green Tea Mochi from our local korean market. They also have this available in Ranch 99 and other asian super markets. The package only contained 4 mochi balls, but that was good enough. Eating each one with its ice cream filled center was a delight and the green tea tasted really good. It has a matcha type flavor, almost powdery to some extent, but then that coudl also be due to the doughy exterior.

This breakfast received 5 teacups out of 5 teacups.

Our next mission will be to tackle a tea filled lunch and tea filled dinner. But instead of just using tea filled products, we plan on cooking with tea. If anyone has any recipes or suggestions email us at tea.oracle@teavilla.com.
