Tomato plants out (we named them Juliet and Phoebe), banana pepper (Doctor Pepper) tucked in his container, zinna tubs seeded, pots for the apple mint cleaned out and refreshed, lawn mowed on the sides where the neighbors look. What better way to top it off than some garden-variety oolong that looks like mulch?
This is another that comes in to our indie grocer in huge bags and sold from a bin, so I’m clueless as to source, brand, or any other helpful details. It’s ridiculously cheap—haven’t priced it in a while but still way under a buck an ounce. While working outside, I threw leaves in a wide-mouth mason jar and topped it off with a Christmas gift—a really nice cold brew tea filter (like this: https://www.theteaspot.com/products/craft-cold-brew-tea-filter?sscid=41k8_7fqzo).
Result: stout, dark, brown-leaf-juice with just enough lift in the flavor to make you say, “Yeah, I guess that’s oolong.” Suitable.
