A sweet grassy green tea
I am not a huge green tea fan, but I respect and appreciate a good one. That being said, if you’re picky on green tea, I’ve done your dirty work. Ganesha Green is sensational and recommended if you like a rich, grassy tea a la Sencha. It has a sea-like flavor to it, so I thought I’d make a beachy tea.
I wanted to emulate the breeze in the tea, so I added sweet, citrusy lemongrass. To add a little variety to the view, I sprinkled beautiful blue cornflowers on top for a sunny blue sky.
Breezy Baby’s art was done by young, up-and-coming artist, Brianna Leigh (who serendipitously was nicknamed Breezy as a kid). She’s a Cali-native, who now lives in Chestnut Hill, and I’m a big fan of her colors and creations.
Vinyl Pairing: Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians (ECM Records, 1978)
A minimalism masterpiece and arguably one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed. It took Steve Reich 3 years to write it, and it takes a minimum of 18 musicians to play it. It is a real treat to witness live and watch the musicians cycle through the song’s eleven chords.
Further Listening: Phillip Glass - Koyaanisqatsi (1982); Laurie Anderson - Big Science (1982)
Make it a cold brew!
To really enjoy the quality of the kukicha, I recommend trying Breezy Baby as a cold brew. It is incredibly refreshing and delicious.
