I started off this week with a bang by attending Sunday Sundae. The event was a collaboration of some really talented tea folks. Max Falkowitz of Serious Eats (I know you’ve all seen me share his articles) served up tea-infused ice cream. Theresa from T Shop shared some of her wonderful teas and Lisa of Tiny Pinecone Teahouse and Bakeshop provided the sweets. You might ask yourself, how do these things fit together? It’s a tea twist on a coffee dessert called an affogato. Ice cream is topped with a shot of espresso or tea in this case.
It was an incredibly hot and humid day so I was immediately drawn to the giant container of cold-brewed Four Seasons Oolong. I don’t know if I’ve ever drunk anything that was quite so refreshing. Part of that was the weather but I know that the tea used was exceptional, to begin with. Right at that moment, I was happy to spot Natasha in the crowd. We did some much-needed catching up (although there is still more to do).
