Here’s a quick little giveaway, perfect for an afternoon on a gorgeous almostwinter day…We are giving away a copy of Tea and Cookies, a cookbook by Rick Rodgers with recipes for both teas as well as little cakes, cookies and treats to accompany. We’re also adding The Tea Stick, a handy little thing that lets you scoop your tea leaves out of the container, then steep, all in one graceful motion. We would have kept The Tea Stick for the TasteSpotting HQ Kitchen, but the Tea Stick is $25, so we felt guilty about keeping it. Besides, we’re a three-cups-of-coffee family here.
(Tea cup and saucer not included! Those are my Mom’s.)

There is nothing like a really fantastic, earthy pu-erh drunk hot, preferably with friends you’ve just made in a hutong in wintry Beijing.
Or, perhaps you’re eating crazy good Korean food in said hutong, and they give you a nice cool glass of cinnamon tea to tame the spiciness.
That said, I’d still find a way to make use of that awesome tea-stick, maybe give it a whirl with some darjeeling from my cousin’s tea gardens.
