THE SUBTLE<br />
FLAVOR OF<br />
CHINESE TEA<br />
EGGS<br />
On early summer days, please try to extend<br />
your tastes with Chinese tea eggs as a snack,<br />
a delicious dish with a distinct flavor.<br />
IN CHINA, tea eggs are mainly served in light<br />
meals, or sometimes served with a bowl of rice<br />
or porridge. Pat Tanumihardja, who is famous<br />
for the blog Pickles and Tea and the author of<br />
The Asian Grandmothers Cookbook, is lavish in<br />
praising these marbled tea eggs. They are so<br />
beautiful and aromatic that he doesn't dare<br />
to eat them. In Shanghai, these tasty tea eggs<br />
are a common, inexpensive snack sold on the<br />
street or in convenience stores. Notably, tea<br />
eggs can be eaten all year round.<br />
Normally, the process of cooking tea eggs has<br />
two steps. First, the eggs are boiled. After they<br />
are hard boiled and gently cracked, they are<br />
steeped and braised in an especially aromatic<br />
blend of tea, herbs and spices. After a few<br />
hours, when you peel these eggs they will<br />
amaze you with their beauty. They look like<br />
marbles with a wonderful fl avor. Depending<br />
on how long you boil and braise the eggs,<br />
the tea eggs will have a mild or strong taste.<br />
Their colors are also different, changing<br />
from light colors to dark brown.<br />
Another interesting thing about tea eggs<br />
is that you can create various fl avors with<br />
different kinds of tea and herbs, even with<br />
Lipton tea. However, Shanghai Oolong<br />
tea is the number one choice for tea eggs<br />
for its best aroma. Especially, each time<br />
you enjoy tea eggs, you can feel differences<br />
in the color and taste of the eggs. They are<br />
sometimes red or pink, sometimes white.<br />
They can be soft or fi rm.<br />
