Ed is a brewed ice tea kind of guy. He doesn't like it bottled, he doesn't like it flavored, he doesn't like it from a soda fountain, and he doesn't like it sweet. Which is a shocker since he's a Texan. Do you know how hard it is to get unsweetened tea in the South without someone looking at you like you have three heads?
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we ate at Timber Kitchen in Maine. I loved the atmosphere, the rustic decor, and the menu. I was really looking forward to dinner. We each had soup (I had French Onion and Ed had the Smoked Seafood Chowder), salad (I had the Littel Timber house salad and Ed had the Caesar), and then we both had the Surf & Turf. It was delicious, but it was costly. The bill for the two of us was $238.20. And we don't even drink!
Which brings me back to the iced tea...
Ed ordered unsweetened, brewed iced tea. And the photo above is how it was served.
The tea was the Ceylon Gold from Tea Forte, which comes in a beautiful pyramid-shaped tea bag.
It was served in the Tea Forte Tea Over Ice Pitcher Set, which was as beautiful as the tea bag and something I think I may be purchasing for our home. It was so elegant and so personal and made a perfect pitcher of tea just like Ed likes it.
And I think all that beauty explains why the iced tea was $6.00.
