Mr. Tea Episode #23 – Earl Grey MarTEAni by Mr. Tea on Vimeo

In this episode, I’ll try a tea with a twist, for the adult viewers (which hopefully is all of you). I was told I HAD to try this earl grey martini, where tea is infused into gin for 3 hours, then mixed with simple syrup, fresh squeezed lemon juice, and an egg white. As it turns out, it’s amazing. Since I’m sure you’ll want to try it yourself, here’s the recipe:

1 1/2 oz. Earl Grey infused Gin (infuse 14 teabags of earl grey tea for 3 hours in a 1.75L bottle of Tanqueray gin)

1 oz. simple syrup (1 part water, 1 part sugar)

3/4 oz. fresh squeezed lemon juice

1 egg white

Then shake like crazy, and enjoy. Let me know your thoughts if you get a chance to try it. Cheers.

Mr. Tea Episode #22 – French Breakfast from ChaCha Tea

filbertsteiner — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:25:47 +0000

In this episode I take a look at a French Breakfast from a small tea company in Madison, Wisconsin, called ChaCha Tea. They use almost exclusively fair trade tea, and have a great variety of teas and teaware. The French Breakfast is the tea that I try in this video, but I’ve also tried their Caramel Rooibos and Organic Ginger Peach teas, which were both very good teas. Cheers.

Mr. Tea Episode #20 – Oprah Blend Teas

filbertsteiner — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:51:09 +0000

In this episode, I take a look at a few more teas from Talbott Teas, including two teas created specially for Oprah (yes, THE Oprah). The first one is a very unique blend called Earl Grey Enchantment. Unlike most Earl Grey teas, this is a rooibos based tea, with a less bite and no caffeine. Second, I try Field of Purple Flowers, a green tea with peach flavors. This tea has a soft flavor, but is extremely soothing and easy to drink. Cheers.

The Mystery Picture Revealed

filbertsteiner — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:35:25 +0000

Recently, I’ve been getting a lot of requests for a close up of the family portrait that resides over my right shoulder in all of my videos. Well, as might have figured, I’m a man of the people, so I introduce to you the Wright family portrait, circa 1990. And, yes, as @melaniemagic so appropriately pointed out, those are flying pandas on the front, and our names running down the sleeves – the Wright’s don’t do anything half ass.

Mr. Tea Episode #19 – Revolution White Pear Tea

filbertsteiner — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 05:51:20 +0000

In this episode, I take a look at a tea from a fun tea company called Revolution Tea. They have a lot of great packaging ideas to make loose leaf tea easy to drink on the road or at home. While I love their marketing and packaging, the tea is nothing to write home about. The White Pear that I try in this episode is pretty bland all the way around. I guess I’ll have to give some of their other blends a shot. Cheers.

When you hear the term “male cheerleader”, do you think “that guys is genius” or “that guy is gay”? Either way, that guy is spending a lot of time with good looking girls, and very little competition. Similarly, knowing about tea has afforded me a lot of opportunities to share my experiences with good looking girls. In this episode, I’ll give guys three easy ways to act like you know about tea, so you too can use it to your advantage. Guys, thank me later. Cheers.

Mr. Tea Episode #17 – Luscious Lemon Meringue

filbertsteiner — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 19:02:58 +0000

In this episode I take a look at two teas from Talbott Teas, a Chicago based tea company, who has brought the elegance of the spa and salon industry into the tea world. First I explore their Blueberry Peach Passion tea, which jelly belly should create a flavor after. Then I take on the Luscious Lemon Meringue, a tea that smells like lemon tart, and tastes like fruit loops – go figure. Cheers.

Mr. Tea Episode #15 – Tea Forte

filbertsteiner — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 17:20:23 +0000

In this episode I try out a blended green tea called Oasis, made by Tea Forte. Tea Forte is starting to pop up all over in places like Nordstrom, Planet Beauty, Crate & Barrel, and a whole host of popular retail stores. You’ll probably recognize their pyramid infusers and their signature leaf, so I thought I’d give them a shot. They have a great line of tea accessories and a variety of teas to match. We already know their presentation is great, now it’s time to test the tea. Cheers.
