Buon'Eatalia, Hasselt

We treated ourselves to one of the newer restaurants in Hasselt the other day - Buon'Eatalia, of the same restaurant family as Goei Goesting and Aperi Vino (they have good catchy names, and delicious food, and a great atmosphere)

And so after a delicious supper (tuna for him, shrimp pasta for me), I chose an infusion, rather than a proper tea, to help with digestion.

The presentation was lovely - Japanese style teapot, with a solitary chopstick on the cup (to help extract the tea bag?), and a little pot to put the teabag in after. 

As well as a little box of goodies, in this case - a chocolate, a choccy truffle, and an amaretti biscuit-cake thing, as well as the usual sugars.

Another new brand of tea, this time one called Mighty Leaf, and I chose the Chamomile Citrus one. I think they might be american imports, as there was a US number on the back. 

The tea bag is clear and shows the herbs inside beautifully, and allows for a rapid infusion. 

One slight hiccup with the proceedings though - the water is so hot (good thing!) that having a handle-less cup makes it quite hard to drink it straight away. Even my fingers that are used to handling hot things found it hard to hold on to straight away.
Maybe they're encouraging you to take your time...
Also, you have to pay attention from which side you drink, so as not to end up with the little hole...

The flavour was lovely though.

EDIT: we went again the other night, and I tried the Marrakesh Mint Green Tea. Lovely flavour, although the smell is very toothpaste-y. Nearly put the others off their desserts...
