How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Darjeeling Tea

Darjeeling Tea is my absolute favorite type of tea. This tea hails from the area of West Bengal, India. This is not a native plant to India, and was first cultivated using Chinese tea plant seeds. It is often considered to be a black tea, as it looks like a black tea when it’s brewed, but it is technically more of an Oolong tea since it doesn’t have complete oxidation as a black tea would. Now, it does have caffeine (who...

Rooibos literally translated means “red bush” and it’s a plant that is broom-like, and in the legume family, believe...

They were out of my “regular” hot chocolate today and they offered me a Steamed Hot Chocolate instead. Wow…what a difference. Instead of making it...
