I get a lot of questions, and I really don't focus my blog on my thoughts so much as anwering people's questions. Recently I had someone ask me about what would go well with a new year's meal. Well, since there is no traditional new year's meal, it's very hard to answer this, though I will do my best.<br />My recommendation is almost always drink a strong <a href="http://www.inspiredinfusions.com/Black_Teas_1.html">black tea</a> in the winter time. The strong teas give you some kick and have pronounced flavours. no one wants a subtle flavour in the cold, you want to be able to taste what you're eating and drinking.<br />If you are, however, going with something like lobster for New Years (which is what I always do), then, despite what I just said, I would recommend a tea with a little more subtle flavours such as an <a href="http://www.inspiredinfusions.com/PD_604003_Formosa_Oolong.html">Oolong</a> or a white tea such as <a href="http://www.inspiredinfusions.com/PD_604005_Pai_Mu_Tan.html">Pai Mu Tan</a>. Both will have distinctive flavours, but not overpowering, so as to offer a suitable parallel to the subtle but distinctive tastes.<br />As with any food or drink nuance, tea has basic principles that should be followed, but as expected, there are many exceptions to every rule, as seen by my example above.<br /><br /><br /><br />- I only write for as long as it takes to steep my tea, so that's all for now.<br /><br />Cheers<div class="blogger-post-footer">Visit www.InspiredInfusions.com for all your online tea needs.</div>Tea Master Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16807647859553109601noreply@blogger.com
