Today’s tea of the day is a toasted rice green tea from Tillie’s Bean in Minneapolis.

It’s a little bitter,and becoming more bitter as I drink it. probably because I can’t stop the steeping in this type of tea pot.

The toasted rice dealio does seem to provide some extra body, but without a way to stop the steeping, it goes downhill fast. Actually, steeping for 1-2 minutes, then pouring into a togo cup would do the trick.

And yes, that is Ben of BenCredible.com poking his head into the picture. He had an Earl Grey.

Breakfast of champions at Tillie’s Bean.

I suggested to one of the barristas that the green tea pairing balances this out. She responded, “Life is a balancing act.”
