Mischief, depending on whom you talk to, is either a good thing or a bad thing. According to the dictionary, mischief is defined as: conduct or activity that playfully causes petty annoyance. The key word here is “playfully”. If something is playful, can it really be so bad? We don’t think so. In fact we like to think that getting up to a little mischief is like adding spice to your food. (Based on this fact it would appear that we fall on the “good side” of the debate.) So, what about the “bad side” of the debate, those who think mischief isn’t such a wonderful thing? For that we need to look no further than a poem by Jane Taylor, the British poet best known for writing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. In her poem about mischief, she tells the tale of a young lad who runs afoul of the law because of his questionable conduct.

In harmless sport or healthful play
He did not pass his time away,
Nor took his pleasure in it;
For mischief was his only joy:
No book, or work, or even toy,
Could please him for a minute.

A neighbour's house he'd slyly pass,
And throw a stone to break the glass,
And then enjoy the joke

Or, if a window open stood,
He'd throw in stones, or bits of wood,
To frighten all the folk.

At last the neighbours, in despair,
This mischief would no longer bear:
And so - to end the tale,
This lad, to cure him of his ways,
Was sent to spend some dismal days
Within the county jail.
Hmm…stones…bits of wood…jail time…not so good. Ok, maybe we’re gonna have to rethink this whole “mischief is good” thing. Luckily, we’ve got just the tea to help us relax while do. White Mischief naturally flavored white. Based on a fabulous Fujian grown Pai Mu Tan and blended with tart pomegranate and juicy guava, this is a cup that’ll convince anyone to let you off the hook!

Luxury White Tea            

Hot Tea Method

This tea can be used repeatedly (à la chinoise) - about 3 times. The secret is to use water that is about 180°F or 90°C. Place 1 tsp of leaves per cup in your teapot and steep for 3 minutes. Then begin enjoying a cup of enchantment - do not remove the leaves from the pot. Once the water level is low - add more water, and so on - until the tea flavor is exhausted. Alternatively for 1 time use, add boiling water and steep for 3-5 minutes according to taste. Milk or sugar will mask the delicate characters of this tea and are not recommended. Look at the pattern of the leaves - they foretell life.

Iced Tea Method

Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.]
