Description

Inspired by the delicious Alsatian cuisine of Chef Jean Joho, this is a dessert tea with the flavors of the tree fruits from that region of France: apricots, cherries, and plums.

Details: Chef Jean Joho, formerly of Alsace and now of Chicago and Las Vegas fame, asked Mike to do a new dessert tea in 2011. This tea is inspired by fruits found in many Alsatian desserts. Many do love its bold, fruity flavors. Mike describes it as "Paris tea on steroids."

Dry Leaves: Chinese black tea is the base of this tea, which is combined with bits of dried cherries.

Liquor: The liquor of this tea is a lighter brown because of the addition of the cherries to the tea leaves.
