Journey of Water
NEW YORK: Tea is essentially a journey of water. And since I discovered the most elegant tea company, Bellocq, in Brooklyn I keep thinking about that phrase whenever I taste one of their delicious blends. Just reading their tea lists enlightens your memories or imagination and I keep thinking about journeys, scents, tastes and different seasons. My favorites are LE HAMMEAU, a fresh organic herbal blend evocative of a summer meadow, and MAJORELLE MINT, organic Chinese gunpowder green tea and mint with a refreshing citrus twist. I recommend visiting their tea Atelier at 37 Greenpoint Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11222 for a taste of unique teas whose ingredients are too rare for wholesale.
