Tea Time

 In Northern Germany tea is very popular, and we drink tea all the time! It tastes so much better than any other tea i've ever had. I decided to take pictures of the tea and how people drink it here. The name of the tea, “Ostfriesentee” literally means East Frisian Tea, since Leer is located in that area this is the most popular tea.

The top left pictures shows the typical cream that you put in tea or coffee. Top right is the Ostfriesentee in the cup. Bottom left is what we call in America " Rock Candy" but in Ostfriesland or this part of Northern Germany the " Rock Candy" are called " Kluntjes". The bottom right is how it looks all together! For more information the traditional Ostfriesland tea this website is super helpful and interesting, providing a lot more detail: http://www.sweetoothdesign.com/tea-german-ostfriesentee-
