愛吃甜點的我們，幾年前回來臺灣，好多我們喜歡的甜點在臺灣都找不到，即使找到標榜一樣的甜點，吃起來味道和口感還是不一樣，有時候，為了滿足味蕾，我們到處尋找，但是每一次都讓我們失望，不但沒有獲得滿足感，反而讓我們更想在美國的家。失望太多次之後，我只好開始自己DIY製作符合我們期望的味道，自己做的甜點、餐點，不但可以掌控甜度和口感，更可以減去很多添加物，吃到美味又健康的點心。
美國口味的甜點雖然好吃，但是往往比較甜，以前在美國，我們通常會配上牛奶或黑咖啡，可以解膩，臺灣人愛喝茶，但是我們每次都怕農藥殘留，不敢隨便亂買。這次曼寧Magnet特別提供兩種不同的花茶，讓我們每天都可以來一場下午茶！
We love desserts and freshly made bake goods. When we moved to Taiwan a few years ago, we had no idea it would be so hard to find a good desserts. We simply missed the American tastes and flavors. If you are ever in the Twin Cities, MN, you must go check out the cheesecakes from Cafe Latte on Grand Ave, the pancakes from Key's Cafe, and the Chili Omelet from Micky's Diner.?
So in order to solve our craving problem, I started making my own desserts. We usually like to pair the desserts with black coffee or just some milk. Special thanks to Magnet for sending us two different kinds of herbal tea to go with some yummy desserts.

You can find Magnet's logo from the outside of the box. Magnet thoughtfully pairs their teas with a special dessert, so we can enjoy this special pairing together. The entire shipment has been refrigerated during the shipping process.? 一打開箱子，可以看得出曼寧Magnet在運送的用心，箱子的邊邊隙縫都塞滿了填充物，防止在運送中不必要的碰撞。第一個看到的是農藥檢驗報告，現在食安問題很嚴重，又怕泡茶時把農藥泡出來，然後全部喝下肚，能夠讓消費者在第一時間可以對產品放心，真的很重要。
Not only the shipment has been refrigerated during the shipping process, the box is very well packaged. Magnet also provides their products' SGS report which indicates there are no pesticide residue.? 蛋糕趕快拿出來放冰箱，至於茶可以放在常溫陰涼處喔！
The cake needs to be refrigerated, but the tea can be stored in the room temperature.? 有紙盒的包裝，不但增加質感，更增添一層防護保護玻璃茶罐。
The jar is made out of glass. The outside box not only gives it a very chic look, but it also gives the glass jar an extra protection.? 紙盒和玻璃瓶身都清楚註明所有的成份、產地、營養標示、製造／有效日期、沖泡說明等，不用擔心把盒子回收了就找不到這些產品訊息。
The stickers on the jar only has Chinese information, but the outside box has both Chinese and English on it, including ingredients, source of ingredients, nutrition fact, expiration date, and instruction of how to make tea. 身為臺灣人，我們都很支持所有Made In Taiwan的品牌和產品，尤其是產品能夠和在地小農合作的品牌，曼寧Magnet的花草茶和花果茶， 除了使用臺灣在地的食材以外，也加入了其他國家在地生產的其他原料，搭配出和諧、健康、美味的組合。
I like the fact that Magnet uses our local Taiwanese produce as one of the major key ingredients, and have it pair with several different high quality ingredients from all over the world 立體三角茶包，讓茶葉可以在沖泡的時候有空間可以完全釋放出味道。
The three-dimensional?tea bag is such an unique design. 玫瑰紅棗茶：
臺灣紅棗、巴基斯坦玫瑰花瓣、南非國寶茶等成份
Jujube Tea with Rose:
Taiwanese Jujube (Red Date), Pakistan Rose Petals, South African Rooibos Tea 玫瑰紅棗茶超級香，一打開罐子，就可以聞到玫瑰的香氣和紅棗的甜味，真的好香！
As soon as you open the jar, you can smell the fragrance from the rose petals and the sweetness of the red dates. It really smells so good that I will like to sneak a tea bag in my pocket. LOL 透明的PLA茶包袋，是採用以玉米澱粉為原料製作而成，可以輕易看到內容物，所有的花瓣、茶葉、碎紅棗都可以看得到。
The see-through tea bag is made out of corn starch. You can easily located the flower petals, tea leaves, and chopped dates.?? 喝下午茶，當然要把泡茶的茶壺拿出來，我喜歡把茶包綁在手把上，這樣就不會整條掉進去了！其實只要交叉穿過一個活結就可以了，茶包泡開後的重量完全不會鬆開。
Tea Making Tips:
Let the string of tea bag goes through the handle of the kettle in order to avoid the entire tea bag fall into the bottom of the Kettle. 泡茶咯！熱水一加進去，馬上可以聞到花香。
As soon as the hot water hit the tea bag, you can almost smell the fragrance from the rose petals immediately.? 讓茶包浸泡於熱水中2-3分鐘，就可以可以享用了！
The tea bag need to steep for about 2-3 minutes before you can enjoy it. 不要看茶沖出來顏色很深，不用擔心，其實只有淡淡的味道，並不會苦，有淡淡的玫瑰花花香澀澀的味道，但是馬上可以嚐出紅棗的甜味，再加上國寶茶的淡淡茶香，沒有濃茶的感覺，而是淡淡清香的茶味，配上甜點真的剛剛好，不用擔心花茶的味道蓋過簡單的起士蛋糕，而玫瑰澀澀的味道，也可以幫解膩，不然有時候單吃起士蛋糕，往往會覺得太甜會太濃。
The tea has some slight rose flavor, and this is the first flavor that you are going to taste. Rose flavor is a bit dry, but the sweetness from the jujube almost comes in right after. The flavor is very subtle, and it is perfect to go with the dessert, cheesecake. 連平常喝茶一定要加糖的Steve，因為有淡淡的紅棗甜味，不加糖，也喝得很開心！
Steve usually adds a bit sugar into his tea, but due to jujube subtle sweetness, he drinks it on it's own!! 一個茶包差不多可以泡3-4次，最後一次可能顏色和味道都會比較淡，但是還是有一點非常淡淡的香味。
You can repeat the same steps of brewing tea for maybe 3-4 times. Each time might want to increase the steeping time for 1-2 minutes. 多穀紅藜茶：
臺灣紅藜、臺灣蕎麥、臺灣玄米
Red Quinoa Tea with Grains:
Taiwanese Red Quinoa, Taiwanese Buckwheat, Taiwanese Roasted Brown Rice.? 玻璃茶罐只有中文標示，但是紙盒上有中英文的標示哦！ 這個夏天，高雄都在下雨，尤其是下午熱對流旺盛，每次想要去海灘曬太陽時，烏雲就出來了，超級掃興！誰說下午茶一定要在室內，趁著這天天氣還算晴，趕快到頂樓來個戶外下午茶，順便找回離開我很久的古銅色！
I love picnicking. It's something we like to do during the summer days. Bringing your own snacks to the park or beach is a must!! 有別於玫瑰紅棗茶，多穀紅藜茶的茶袋裡面塞滿了不同顏色和形狀的小米粒，聞起來有烘烤過的米粒味道，類似日式玄米茶的香味。
The Red Quinoa Tea is filled with all different types and colors of grains. The grains smell lightly toasted. 都跑到戶外了，這次下午茶走輕便簡單就是幸福風，一個人喝茶，我最喜歡這種大大寬寬的、像碗公一樣的馬克杯。一樣把茶包簡單纏繞在馬克杯手把上，就可以開始泡茶咯！
I love this type of mugs for a few reason:
1. It holds a lot of water.
2. It's microwave safe.
3. It almost looks like a bowl, but has a handle for easy transfer.
4. Makes me want to drink more water, so why not?! 多虧了這個超級保溫又大容量的保溫瓶，讓我可以帶著一壺滾燙水來到戶外，進行一場充滿眼光的下午茶！
Another great thing to take for outing is a good thermos. It has to be big and hold the temperature well for both hot and cold drink. And this is why I was able to bring hot water to make tea outdoor.? ? 這次的甜點就是我自己動手製作的蛋黃奶酥餅乾和布朗尼，再配上溫溫的多穀紅藜茶，這個茶聞起來有烘烤玄米的味道，喝起來香但是有一種苦澀的味道，不是像苦茶那種的苦，而是在米香後有一絲苦澀味，搭配濃郁的布朗尼，真的超級對味。
Today we have my homemade cracked sugar cookies and brownie to go with Magnet's Red Quinoa Tea. The tea smells like toasted rice and has a bitter taste to it. The aftertaste is a bit dry, but it's perfect for the very sweet American dessert. LOL ? 泡完的茶包，所有米都像被煮熟一樣，全部都膨脹了，偷偷吃了一口，就像飯一樣，好酷哦！
Once the tea bag is done. All the grains have been expended and filled up the entire tea bag. It's quite interesting to see all the grains are cooked and actually tasted like regular rice!!! So cool!
曼寧Magnet的花草茶／花果茶真的讓我對茶大大的改觀，以前都覺得茶都是給老人喝的，泡的方式和器具又都要很講究，而且味道都是那幾種茶葉，沒有什麼驚喜。但是曼寧Magnet加入了一些有趣的元素食材，增加了茶的層次，而且少了咖啡因，不用擔心喝茶的時間點，什麼時候都可以喝茶配點心，即使不加入任何調味料，也是很好喝的茶。我喜歡睡前和一小杯溫溫的茶，肚子溫溫的再去睡覺，感覺晚上睡眠比較好！
補充水分很重要，最好的方法當然是飲用白開水，但是很多人往往覺得只有喝白開水很無趣，大熱天大家也可以把泡完的曼寧Magnet花草茶／花果茶倒入裝滿冰塊的杯子裡，冰冰的飲用也不錯，讓喝水變得有趣，不知不覺就可以達到一天的所需的飲水量喔！
曼寧Magnet的花草茶／花果茶的味道偏淡，最近愛吃重口味的媽媽喝了覺得感覺沒什麼味道，但是我倒是覺得淡淡的茶可以代替白開水，搭配甜點也不用擔心兩種味道不合，喜歡重口味的建議泡久一點，相對來說，就會減低沖泡的次數。曼寧Magnet的包裝也很高雅，但是美中不足的是玻璃罐裡面的茶泡並沒有再單獨包裝，雖然是密封的玻璃罐，也很有環保觀念，但是我比較擔心常常開開關關拿取茶包，在潮濕的臺灣，總覺得會比較容易受潮。
Magnet is a really interesting brand. They made drinking tea full of surprises. It definitely goes really well to pair with any dessert, both sweet and savory.?
Magnet's tea is all fruit or herbs based, so there is no caffeine in there. You can basically drink it anytime of the day. It's a great replacement for simple water. You can even pour the just brewed tea into a glass that is filled with ice to have it as ice tea. I like to have a small cup of warm tea before going to bed every night. For some reason, having a warm stomach feeling always allows me to have a good night sleep.
Magnet's tea has very subtle flavor. If you are a big fan of a stronger tea flavor, you might want to increase the tea steeping time. Although I love their packaging, the tea bags are not individually packaged. I can understand from the environmental protection prospective, but Taiwan is very humid most of the time. The upkeep might be a issue if you don't drink it regularly.?
