Cook with the goodness of tea with our very own Great Mississippi Tea Company Cookbook
With Jason & Timmy's passion for fine dining and their history of running a restaurant, it seems rather likely that they would branch out their tea business into cooking.
It took almost a year to complete the project. One that would not be completed alone.
What experts did the tea team collaborate with on this project?
They partnered with Dr. Virginia Utermohlen Lovelace to develop the book. Virginia's accomplishments are nothing short of outstanding.
Virginia is a Board certified pediatrician and retired faculty member of the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, the world’s premier nutrition faculty. While there she earned numerous teaching awards, including the State University of New York’s Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching. She explores the aromas of teas and how teas and foods interact in the mouth, nose, and brain, with a special emphasis on how you experience beverages and foods together. With respect to beverages, she has studied not only tea but also coffee, beer, and wine and their flavors, and why you may prefer one over the other. She is the author numerous of scientific papers, a blog, and the book “ Three Basic Teas and How to Enjoy Them ,” available on Amazon. Virginia wants to say, “I love tea, love World Tea Academy. teaching, love.
All that coupled with the expertise of Jason and Timmy on tea and being natural food enthusiasts, made for a great collaboration and a wonderful product.
