[0]I thoroughly enjoy Adagio.com [1]'s tea chef contest. This month's tea [2] was Golden Monkey [3], a Chinese black tea that is beautiful, smooth, and looks exactly like the photo on their website -- perfectly delightful! I love sampling new teas, and I love cooking. Somehow, the tea chef contest sparks creativity (Okay, I'll admit, I like the free tea! Who wouldn't?!
), and I usually really like the results! :)
Since I had never had Golden Monkey tea before, I made myself a glass of it, to help me decide what sort of recipe to create. The results were today's lunch: Golden Veggie Fried Rice [3]. I thought it was delicious, and am looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow. ;)
