Exotic Wellness Tea Culture in KL (3)

Just one last wellness tea recipe here :D

This is by far the most simple wellness tea,
yet the most enlightening one though.

I had it at Green Talk which is my favourite health food eatery,
near my mum's place in KL.

The ingredients are extremely common,
but again, I have to praise these organic eateries
for their creativity for the sophisticated mix-and-match!!

Wellness Tea Recipe 3:
**Rose Bud Genmai Tea**
(by Green Talk)

Ingredients:
. Rose buds ............................................................ 1 bag
. Genmai (germinated brown rice) ........................ 1 bag

Methods:
1. mix all both ingredients in a tea pot and pour in hot water
2. serve warm


I like this tea very much despite its simplicity
because I perceive there is some intelligence behind the mix and match.

Many people would have tried rose bud tea before, I guess;
but I think some may also agree that
rose bud tea on its own is very light, very "surface" in its taste and fragrance.

This "improved formula" of rose bud tea,
gives the floral tea some "substantiation" and "solid-ness" in the taste,
filling in the "hollowness" of the usual rose bud tea,
giving it an "umami" booster ^.^

To me this tea is enlightening
in term of guiding me in creating more unique wellness teas.. hahaha.. :D


Let's toast to wellness!

Chrysanthemum Fenugreek Tea
@ The Origin

Another very exotic tea that I have ever tried
was encountered at The Origin.

It's a very simple blend of floral tea with some common herbs,
but I didn't know it would taste so good with such combination.

Very soothing to go with a hearty organic meal...

Signature fruit tea
@ Chef Lim Organic Kitchen

My recent visits to many organic outlets in KL/Klang Valley
gave me some delighting surprises.

I haven't noticed since when has this exotic wellness tea culture started,
but certainly, it seems whichever organic eateries I go nowadays ,
they tend to have a unique blend of tea to impress their customers!

What is more heartening is that these organic outlets are happy to share their
recipes :D

Here some of my favourite wellness tea and their secrets :)
