A few years ago, I was introduced to T. This particular tea company is based in Vancouver, BC and has the bragging rights of being served in fine dining establishments the world over – from Dubai and Portugal to England, Russia and America. Each flavor offered by T is certified organic and blended by hand in small batches. Each black tin is labeled with beautiful watercolor imagery and has a decidedly handcrafted feel.
If you own a Thai cookbook, as I do, you will quickly discover that almost every dish in that book will require most, if not all, of the ingredients I’ve just mentioned. Although a large portion of these ingredients can be found at your local supermarket or Asian grocer, you’re going to have a heck of a time finding kaffir lime.

Oh right, yaks live in Tibet and water buffalo hang out in Africa. Whatever. That’s not the point.
