Five benefits of choosing THINLY loose leaf tea

1. Greater Health Benefits - Loose tea consists of larger leaves so more of its powerful catechin antioxidants and plentiful plant polyphenols are in your cup! Simply put - you get more of the goodies that tea is noted for, health benefits! Tea can help prevent certain cancers, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, aid in weight loss, and boost the immune system. Tea brewed by the bag contains fewer of these properties.

2. Better Aroma & Flavor - Loose tea has more surface area than the "tea dust" (fannings) that go into bags. The larger the leaves, the more natural oils you get to steep out of them, and this of course means great flavor, along with a pleasant scent! Loose leaf will have a nice fresh and clean taste, and depending on the variety may taste sweet, floral, vegetal, malty, or earthy along with many other distinct nuances. Bagged tea will almost always taste bitter, old, stale, fuzzy, and muddy, and will leave you with a funny aroma that doesn't promise much. Bags will add a color to your cup, but not much after that! Clear enough? 

3. Freshness! - A big advantage loose leaf has over bagged tea is the age factor. In order for tea to have a good quality, it must be young and fresh. Did you ever wonder how old those bags are? It is recommended that all tea is enjoyed within the first 6 to 8 months of the flush. THINLY'S formulated blends are straight from the premium high elevation tea farms in Japan. We offer a premium fresh product with maximized health and youth boosting effects. 

4.  Variety - Tea in general is broken into four main types, white, green, oolong, and black. Each main classification yields hundreds of varieties since many cultures around the world cultivate and process them. Our formulated blends are unique to target unwanted fat cells, stress, bloating and toxins. Our three-step approach maximizes results and will leave you feeling and looking your absolute best!   

5. Gifts for everyone! - Give a gift that will enhance someone's life. It is no doubt that everyone welcomes gourmet food as a present! Loose tea will always impress guests when served, or make a friend or family member feel special when received as a gift. Including some sample varieties along with some steeping equipment, like our THINLY glass tea vessel, is a perfect way to introduce someone to a new habit that is actually good for them!

Baked Spring Vegetable Omelette with Comte

5 My favorite part about spring, along with the sun finally warming New York, is the abundance of beautiful spring produce! I always cook with the seasons, so when given a chance to create a recipe with the sweet, nutty Comte cheese from France, I couldn't wait to create a dish that paired this delicious cheese with some fresh, seasonal produce.

When creating this recipe with The Cheeses of Europe, I couldn't help but drift towards a dish that I could enjoy with friends and family at Sunday brunch. A baked omelette seemed the perfect choice! Cheesy, fluffy, and perfectly seasoned, I guarantee this will be a well-loved dish at your next hosted brunch. Watch the whole video here, or see my recipe below! Bon appetit!

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons shallots, sliced and quartered 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped 1/2 yellow bell pepper, chopped 2 radishes, quartered 1 bunch asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces on diagonal 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Salt and pepper 12 eggs 1/4 cup milk 3/4 and 1/4 cups Comté cheese, grated

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°.Toss the shallots, peppers, radishes, and asparagus in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on baking sheet and roast in oven for 25 minutes. Allow the vegetables to cool a bit, and then place them in an ovenproof nonstick sauté pan and pour the egg mixture over top. On a low flame, cook the eggs until they start to set, about 4-5 minutes. Then place the pan back in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until eggs are cooked through.Sprinkle the remaining Comté on top, and cut into wedges to serve.

Branzino- Perfect for Spring

Image I thought it would be great to share one of my go-to recipes for dinnertime with you all. Fish is so wonderful during the spring and summer months, and is super quick to make. We should be enjoying these long sunny days, not slaving in the kitchen, right?! :)

This is an impressive, full of flavor Branzino dish that I love to make for guests, or for me and my hubby when we are having a night in together.

Here's what you'll need:

Ingredients: (4) 6-oz Branzino fillets 2 lbs red potatoes 1 lb broccoli rabe 1 tblsp extra virgin olive oil 2 sliced garlic cloves 1/2 tsp rosemary Sea salt Pepper, to taste

1. Rinse branzino filets, and run your hand over them to check for any bones.

Be extra careful when doing this! You don't want anyone accidentally getting stuck with a bone! Fish should always be firm in texture, not dull in color and smell fresh from the ocean, not "fishy" as they say.

2. Brush extra virgin olive oil on each filet and season with sea salt and pepper.

Freshly cracked black pepper is always best and adds great texture.

3. Grill both sides for 3 minutes.

Start skin side down to create a nice crust on the fish.

4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook broccoli rabe for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a bowl of ice cold water.

You want to make sure you don't overcook the broccoli rabe. Don't walk away! You still want the broccoli rabe to maintain it's beautiful green color. By putting it in the ice water you stop the cooking and preserve the color.

5. In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil and 2 garlic cloves.

You don't want to burn the garlic, so just brown until lightly golden. 

6. Add broccoli rabe into skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

You want them to blend with the gorgeous garlicy goodness you just created!

7. In a large roasting pan, spread cubed potatoes evenly, and drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove stems from rosemary and sprinkle over the potatoes. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes at 400 degrees F.

This side dish is great paired with pork chops, or actually, ANYTHING! So keep this one handy! I suggest beginning cooking with dish first so that you are able to time yourself in the kitchen when putting the complete dish together.

ENJOY! I know you're gonna love it! Feel free to comment with your questions or sharing your experience.
