Custom Tea Tour

I spent today on a custom tea tour with a wonderful couple from NYC. Though I enjoy the package tours because they have a flow and a specific focus, I also like custom tours because they cater to the specific interests of the group. Today's group was interested in Indian, Russian, and Afghani food and tea. The highlights were a delicious Indian bread with spiced chickpeas, an incredible Afghani cardamom tea, an unusual pasta dish with mint-garlic yogurt and spiced red beans, homemade fruit- and tea-infused vodkas, a rich smoked black tea, and delicate Russian crepes with sour cherry preserves. Yum!

A reminder to you food service workers out there-- you get a 10% discount on tours (including custom tours) and classes for the month of May.
