Types of Tea --- Again

It was late last night when I quit, but I didn't get to mention a couple of things.

If you peruse the tea catalogs you will find a great number of different blends of black tea.

Metropolitan tea has 15 pages of blends, estate, and naturally flavored blacks. (And there are about 12 - 15 teas/page). Harney and Sons has 2 pages. And all the other catalogs lay somewhere inbetween. Now some of these blends overlap and many stand alone with their flavor.
There are also: Paper Street Teas, CoffeeAM, Taylors of Harrogate, Twinnings, etc. Even in New Orleans there is a small company distributing China teas - All of which carry their own blends and specialties.

TO MANY TEAS, NOT ENOUGH TIME.......

You will have to taste one to decide if you like it, so keep tasting. I do.

I need to add a recipe to this page. Try this one. It was one of the first Scone recipes I tried.

Harvest Scones

3 cups AP flour

3/4t salt

4T sugar

3/4 t soda

1T baking powder

1 stick butter, chilled

1.5 cup buttermilk

2 eggs

2t lemon peel

Mix dry ingredients (Again, I use my processor successfully)and then cut in the chilled butter in small pieces. (You have to use chilled butter because if you don't the soft or warm butter keeps the scones from mixing well.) Mix together the eggs, milk, and lemon peel and add this to the dry mix. Swirl only until the dough comes together into a nice ball. Place ball on a floured surface and roll out ( I much prefer to flatten with my hands and fold over for a flakier scone). Cut into circles, or wedges. Brush tops with a smidgen of milk. Bake for 13 - 15 minutes and enjoy with some Strawberry jam and clotted cream. UUUMMMMMM!!!!! These don't have a heavy taste so go well with just about any tea.
