STeaP Episode #28: Green/Black Blends

This week, we're trying one of the more rare kinds of tea blends, the Green/Black blend. How is it possible to steep a tea made from both Green and Black teas? This episode will answer that question. The first tea is Upton's Midsummer Dream, a mix of China black tea and green Sencha along with sunflower petals, cactus blossoms and rhubarb steeped for 3 minutes in rumbling water. The second tea is Teasource's Prairie Passion, black and green tea blended with papaya, rosehips, sunflower and passion fruit steeped for 3 minutes in boiling water. Will the green and black teas play nice with each other? We'll find out.For photos from this episode, visit our Flickr pool, and for more episodes and other tea tidbits, visit STeaPtv.com.
