Loose Leaf Tea: Dessert Anyone?

Loose leaf tea is a culinary delight. Drinking loose leaf tea provides a gustatory experience that really can't be compared to the experience of traditional tea bags regardless of what brand you buy. If you've avoided drinking loose leaf tea because of the fear that it is too difficult to prepare or looks too complicated, you'll find the following information helpful. Loose leaf tea has many more health benefits than the powdered tea contained in traditional tea bags, which would be expected since it is less processed, but health benefits aren't the only positive aspect of loose leaf tea.

I discovered loose leaf tea by accident. My husband and I purchased a copy of a vegan cookbook The Artful Vegan, and we were eager to try the scrumptious-sounding vegan desserts the cookbook contained. Dessert seemed to be a much more logical place to start considering most of the gourmet entrée choices featured exotic ingredients and required a 12-step process to prepare. I was instantly drawn to the recipe for Earl Grey Tea Truffles because I love chocolate and have no trouble devouring an entire $45 box of Godiva truffles. Difficulty presented itself when I got to line three on the ingredient list and realized I needed an ingredient that I had no idea where to find: loose leaf Earl Grey tea. I considered improvising and cutting open tea bags instead, but I knew I had to make at least an effort to find the required ingredient since it was the focal point of a very delicious-sounding dessert.
