Tea Marbled Eggs image

Fun to make and a nice addition to a Chinese meal, not just for decoration and they are always a talking point. The flavour is despite the spices not very strong--delicate is a better word. I like to serve them with the Chinese porridge/soup Congee.

I'm not a big fan of deviled eggs, but these tea-marbled eggs were actually really good. The tea flavor was subtle and delicate.
