   I knew it would eventually come to this. I'm out of fruit flavoured teas and I'm still two days away from being able to replenish my supplies at a discount. However I still have some pu'er tea left so I can mix it with something fruity, problem being — the most "fruity"-flavoured thing I have is lemongrass. So be it, behold the most cursed tea mix ever created!
   I'm not wondering is it any good, I'm wondering how good it is!
   Still have to wait for it to brew…

     @amerika It is! I do like messing with herbs and spices, I think everyone who enjoys cooking does.
     You're right, working together is the key, to be honest, I was tempted adding basil to the yesterday's mix, I do enjoy adding it to tea as of recent, it's an essential cooking ingredient for things like tomato and cheese salad and even strawberry lemonade, but adding it to tea is new to me. In the end I decided against it — once you add too many ingredients it's easy to mess up.

     Well, I don't think it's going to be everyone's favourite at a party, but it's interesting. Here that part of flavour that sets Pu'er apart from just strong black tea amplifies the flavour in lemongrass that is hardly distinguishable when it's lemongrass alone.
     It's not bad either, but people usually go for something traditionally fruity with Pu'er — I often use tangerine or orange peel myself. I've definitely drank weirder combinations, like tea with spices!

     Oftentimes it's not a question of weird but whether ingredients work together. With that kind of harmony, even the weird can work, although obviously not all combinations!

     Tea at your house must be fun.

     Probably pretty good to be honest.
