ZEN Green Tea Liqueur Taste Test

I have mentioned this liqueur before but this is the first time that I have tasted it! I have one word for it "fabulous"! The liqueur has an unique flavor which is hard to describe. Infused within it is Kyoto green tea leaves, herbs and lemongrass. It is slightly sweet and 20 percent alcohol. I prefer to sip it chilled on the rocks but it is good in a Zentini cocktail also. A Zentini cocktail is 2 parts Zen Green Tea Liqueur, 2 parts SKYY Vodka, and 1/2 part fresh orange juice. I was pleasantly surprised that this liqueur tasted so good! So now you can sip a tasty drink and get your antioxidants from green tea at the same time! Happy sipping with moderation! Want more information?

2008 World Tea Expo Back in Las Vegas!

The World Tea Expo is coming up from May 30th to June 1st at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV. I have already registered for this event.
This year proves to be more organized with Core Seminars, Skill Building Workshops, Focused Tastings, and Super Workshops.
The classes seemed to be organized by level of need such as classes for new business owners or executive and technical people.
One of the most exciting events is the World Tea Championship which is going to be conducted by professional tea tasters. A new rating system will be used to judge characteristics of the teas and then that information will be published in a guide!
The World Tea Expo is bringing professionalism to the tea trade as well as education!
I can't wait to attend this one!!
