Product Review

Tea leaves...that you eat...hmm...ok...I like green tea. They send me a pack of 7 envelopes. I open a pack...and smell it, 'cause that's what I do -- and it smells like delicious tea...yay! Then I pour it out onto a paper plate....... 

And I get a good close up look.....*giggle*

I know what it LOOKS like...pfft. Grow up. Geeeezzz....*suppresses Cheech and Chong jokes*. But, yes...it is a dried leaf. 

Then I thought, because I didn't bother to read the directions first, I would just eat some...sure. I take a little 'pinch' and start chewing......

Don't do that. DO NOT DO IT! It was most unpleasant. *sigh* 

So, I read the directions (tip of the day: read the package first)...and indeed the suggested usage is to add the dried leaves to foods. *facepalm*. I decide to add it to a spaghetti sauce that we'll have for dinner.  Since it's a nice dried herb anyway--no one even noticed the tea was in the sauce until I told them. I added the whole pack (3 grams) to a store bought sauce with browned sausage. Note: next time I would add two or three packs. 

It didn't change the flavor to me, but I would say it might add an bit of an earthy flavor (like ..ya know...tea). Seriously, the tea added some nice color to the sauce and my kids didn't know it was in there. 

  

Overall, I am really impressed. Everyone ate it!

 I like this idea--adding leaves to random dishes is simple, and if it helps --it's even more awesome. 'Cause let's face it, we can all use a little healthy help! 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
