Rista

the berry-horned

Steady hooves amble through the long grass. Leaves rustle as little creatures weave in and out, helping themselves to the bountiful berries growing from its horns.

Black and oolong teas with safflower, calendula, blackberry and strawberry. Round, mellow, berry-laced.

Field notes

How to brew the berry-horned.

i. In an infuser.

One heaped teaspoon per cup. Water just below the boil, around 90 degrees, keeps the oolong half smooth. Steep three minutes.

ii. In the teapot.

A teaspoon per cup and one extra for the pot. Lid on, let it sit, pour the lot before it stews.

iii. Loose in the cup.

The unhurried way. Let the leaves settle as it cools and sip once the steam softens.

Afterwards, the leaves go to the garden, not the bin.
