I found decaf Earl Grey!

I know, I know, I haven't blogged in months so why bother now? This blog was started as an experiment and I learned that I didn't really have that much to say about tea, especially compared to some of the other great tea bloggers out there. But, I finally had tea in a restaurant worth mentioning. I truly did shout with glee last night when I found a decaf Earl Grey listed on the tea menu (along with some other great caffeinated choices and some herbals, including a Moroccan mint). Isabella in Dedham, MA gets a 3 1/2 tea pot rating from me for having a loose leaf, decaf, black tea on the menu. They served the tea in an individual ceramic pot too. There's only one thing that keeps Isabella from getting a perfect, 4 tea pot score; the water wasn't hot enough. By the time it got to me at the table, the tea pot was barely even warm to the touch. So close, Isabella, so close.
