WERE GOING ON A LEAF HUNT PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Steve Metzger,Miki Sakamoto | 32 pages | 01 Aug 2008 | Scholastic US | 9780439873772 | English | New York, United States House Hunting Tips - Bob Vila My favorite, a darker oolong called Crooked Horse. And then a frothing bowl of matcha, the basis for the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, chanoyu. When you drink matcha, unlike most teas, you drink the whole leaf, which is ground into a neon green powder. When whipped into hot water with the cutest little bamboo whisk, matcha makes a thick brew that looks suspiciously like blue-green algae. The tea does possess a healthful spirulina, grass-soup taste, and I mean that in the best possible way. A year ago, the idea of an afternoon spent sipping oolongs wouldn't have crossed my mind. I like coffee. Coffee gets me out of bed in the morning; coffee gets me through the afternoon. Even though I have to brew it and sometimes even grind the coffee beans, tea-real tea, not tea bags-always seemed like a bigger hassle. There were rules to follow: Black teas should steep for three minutes in water brought to just below a boil; green and white teas should steep in cooler water-barely steaming-for two minutes or less. Should your drink involve an egg timer and a meat thermometer? I also marveled at how tea managed to be British, New Agey, and self-consciously fussy at the same time. But like a growing number of Americans, I recently started dipping into green and black teas. Tea seemed soft, peaceful, serene-and I must admit my doctor suggested I cut back on caffeine. So I started having a cup after dinner instead of coffee. The odd cup of chai. A green with honey in the afternoon. My flings with tea didn't mean I was cheating on coffee. I could love both. And now everybody's doing it. Tea is as hot as Bikram yoga. Explains Republic of Tea's Stuart Avery Gold: "You have a cup of coffee with a to-go lid on it and you're talking on a cell phone. Starbucks bought Tazo and now sells 70 million cups of tea a year. The finest restaurants in the country-from Jean Georges in Manhattan to Berkeley's Chez Panisse-have added tea experts. There are roughly 1, freestanding tearooms in the United States. And study after study has suggested that antioxidants in the tea plant help keep you healthy-fighting cancer, heart disease, weight gain, arthritis, osteoporosis, cavities, and even the ravages of age. A quick cruise through the catalogs and magazines on my floor at home turned up the following: extra-virgin, cold-pressed culinary tea oil from the Republic of Tea. Glass, ceramic, and stoneware teapots from PureSeasons. A vanilla tea scrub and a chai for sipping while bathing, both in the catalog Eziba. One fall afternoon at Teany, an exceedingly hip teahouse on Rivington Street on New York City's Lower East Side, customers gathered inside the tiny apple-green space included a tattooed beatnik, a bald guy smoking a cigarette, and a lovely Indian girl accompanied by a hip-hop dude in a Yankees cap. All drinking tea. This is the way Kelly Tisdale, who owns Teany with the musician Moby, likes it. Teany is serious about tea drinking, offering 94 different teas and herbal blends, from the most popular, Earl Grey Creme, to the more esoteric Puerh Tuo Cha, which "tastes a bit like soil," says Tisdale, a redheaded gamine dressed today in green Pumas. We want to cater to a young hangout crowd. We want to be the place you come to when you want to go out but you don't necessarily want to drink. Tea connoisseurs subscribe to the French concept of terroir, that food should literally be of a region, that it should taste of the soil from which it is grown. That's why a Darjeeling white tea tastes totally unlike one grown in Fujian Province, and why the low-end blends Americans have been drinking for decades-often made from the tea dust swept off Southeast Asian factory floors-are so bland. As the boys from In Pursuit of Tea put it, "There's no mystery in a cup of bagged tea. Americans once knew this: Gaetano Maida, who is making a documentary about tea called In Search of Green Gold, says, "In the first quarter of the past century, tea companies delivered teas door-to-door to housewives and farmers and suburban homes, selling them tea best suited to the water in the neighborhood. If tea by the cup is seductive, then tea by the acre is even more so. For three weeks, I cruised Darjeeling's tea gardens-a euphemism for fabulous, rugged, crashing hillsides in West Bengal, India, carpeted in hundreds of acres of tea. I watched the fog roll in over the roadless green of the gardens West Bengal Goomtee and Jungpani, where rival brothers-in-law argue happily over whose tea is the most delicious. I drove in Jeeps through West Bengal at dawn, weaving down crazy, tilted dirt paths through tea plants apple-green with dew, as tea planter S. Changoiwala shouted tea prophecies from the backseat: "What I am meant to say is that tea is a regal queen!

There are lots of beautiful fall leaves to find! Three friends have a big adventure hiking over a mountain and through a forest to collect leaves of all kinds and colors. Good Will Hunting | Film review Frank is Taiwanese, so he grew up with tea; in the company's tiny Brooklyn office, he's not above using a nice roasted oolong to boil up his lunch. This is the ninth pot today: This morning, we sipped a hearty black Assam. Then a pot of Phoenix Eyes, with silver hairs on the back of its tightly rolled leaves as fuzzy as caterpillars. A delicate, amber White Peony. A fruity Nantou oolong. A bright, fiery Dragon Well. A smoky brick Pu-erh. My favorite, a darker oolong called Crooked Horse.
