This past weekend, my neighborhood Albertson was having an egg sale for only 99 cents a carton. When I saw the ad, I immediately thought of Chinese tea eggs. My uncle recently gave me a block of aged Chinese pu-erh tea (普洱茶) and it’s perfect for tea leaf eggs (茶叶蛋).
I am a huge fan of eggs, especially hard-boiled eggs in curry, soy sauce, or in this case, Chinese tea. What’s not to love about eggs that are steeped for hours in Chinese tea, with marbled pattern on the egg white, plus to-die-for aroma from the tea? I simply love Chinese tea leaf eggs…
