Chinese Toon Sprouts 香椿芽 (Xiang Chun)

Chinese toon leaves are possibly one of the most popular seasonal vegetables in the country and seeing them in the markets give us hope that warm weather is just around the corner. The leaves are often cooked in an omelet, however are also extremely tasty served in a tofu salad with oil, lemon juice and walnuts.

For some great ideas on how to enjoy these tasty treats, read this post.

This month we will continue celebrating Springtime with fresh new Tie Guan Yin oolongs that have just started arriving in Beijing. Tie Guan Yins are a wonderfully fragrant transition tea from all the greens we have been drinking of the previous month. The Hutong will be serving up this tea to accompany all workshops and events throughout May; with the fruit-filled richness of each cup offering a sure sign that summer is on its way.
