Quote of the week

De Quincy says quite correctly that tea “will always be the favourite beverage of the intellectual,” but the Chinese seem to go further and associate it with the highminded recluse. – Lin Yutang, The Importance of Living.

Make @ home – Salmon Poached in Green Tea!

Here’s another exciting recipe we just had to share with you! Poaching Salmon in Green Tea will produce tender, perfectly cooked filets with the added health benefits of Green Tea.

INGREDIENTS:
2 wild caught salmon filets, 4 oz each
2 cups water
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
1 small bunch of fresh thyme
2 tablespoons loose green tea (CLICK HERE to view our Green Tea range)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 lemon (for garnishing)
1 Lime (for garnishing)
Bunch of asparagus (to serve steamed underneath Salmon)

DIRECTIONS:
Combine the water, ginger, thyme and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and cover. Let steep for 10 minutes, then reheat to 180 ° F (look for small bubbles forming in the bottom of the pan.) Remove from heat, add the green tea and let steep for 2 to 3 minutes then strain the mixture into a small skillet over a medium flame. Put the salmon filets skin side down in the skillet and let cook for about 7 minutes (depending on desired doneness) occasionally spooning the hot liquid over the top of the filets. Serve with lemon. Makes 2 servings, this recipe can easily be doubled.

Must know Yum Cha etiquette!

Here’s some tips to help you get through your next delicious Yum Cha experience!

Did you know…

  • It is customary to pour tea for others before filling ones own tea cup
  • It is also the most gracious to be the first to pour tea.
  • When tea drinkers tap the table with two (occasionally one) fingers of the same hand, an action known as finger kowtow, it is an expression of gratitude to the member of the party who filled their cups.
