English Tea Garden - Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival 2010
My favorite event to attend at Epcot is the International Flower & Garden Show. I decided to break down my visit to this event into separate blogs. I am so excited just remember it all. Spring is in my heart now, if only I could make my own yard as beautiful.
Orange Bliss Tea - made from a orange tree. When the blossoms are in bloom the fragrance is so amazing. The tea is a fine black tea with flavor of fresh squeezed oranges. I have had this time before, it does have a strong taste. I do like it, but don't have that often.
Pure Chamomile Tea - made from the herb chamomile's yellow flowers. It is naturally caffeine free. It is my first choice, when I want a warm cup of tea to relax.
French Vanilla Chi Tea - is partly made from vanilla beans. Here you can see the vine that produces that bean. Chi teas are my over all favorites. They are a combination of many spices, it a distinct taste and when you add vanilla to the mix, amazing. It is also wonderful cold.
Pomegranate Delight Tea - made from the small fruit of the pomegranate tree. It is slightly sweet with a fruity aroma. I do love pomegranate, but this tea is to sweet for me. But that tree is so cut.
China Oolong Tea - made from the leaves of the tea tree (Camelia sinensis). It is commonly brewed to be strong, with the bitterness leaving a sweet aftertaste. I have never tried this one, but now having seen the plant I will have to.
Pure White Tea - made from the unopened flower bud of the tea tree. They are harvested once a year. The taste is very smooth. It is hard to explain, it is just something you have to try.
If you are not a tea drinker, I do think visiting the English Tea Garden will at least make you curious about them. Give a few a try, all these wonderful plants deserve it.
Of course, if you are lucky you will run into the fabulous Mary Poppins. No this s not me in the photo, maybe next time.
