点评:Shopping in Downtown Portsmouth, one store I like to visit periodically is The Spice & Tea Exchange of Portsmouth.
I like the atmosphere in this shop. The air is filled with the light aroma of spices and teas.
On this visit, I looked at rubs for meats first. The Cinnabar Smoke Spice Blend caught my eye. It was versatile and could be used on chicken, steak, and pork.
Next, I looked at cooking utensils and risotto.
As I was looking at the Sinfully Cherry Tea at $15.99 for a 2 oz. bag, the fellow on the register came by to talk to me for the third time in about 5 minutes. He was very nice, but too attentive this day. I think he was bored. It was distracting. I wasn’t enjoying browsing. I left my decision on the Sinfully Cherry Tea for another time.
Later at home, I researched how many cups of tea the 2 oz. of loose tea might make. The answer was that would make 28 – 56 cups, depending on desired strength. Since I’d mix it with unflavored decaffeinated black tea and make an average strength cup, the estimated yield for my use would be at the high end of 56 cups - and maybe more. The cost would be about 29 cents per cup for that, plus the cost of the decaf tea. Although a little more expensive than conventional supermarket teas, cherry-flavored tea isn’t a common or readily-available item. On my next visit, I plan to buy a bag.
I rate this visit at 4.0.

翻译:在朴茨茅斯市中心购物时,我常常会光顾的一家店就是“朴茨茅斯香料与茶叶专卖店”。
我喜欢这家店的氛围。店内空气中弥漫着香料与茶叶的淡雅香气。
这次我来店里后,首先挑选了用于腌制肉类的调味料。其中“朱砂烟熏香料混合粉”特别吸引我的注意。这种香料用途广泛,可用于鸡肉、牛排和猪肉的调味。
接着,我又浏览了各种厨具以及做意大利烩饭所需的材料。
就在我挑选着售价15.99美元、每袋容量为2盎司的“诱人樱桃茶”时……登记处的那位工作人员在大约5分钟内第三次来找我聊天。他为人很友善,但今天显得过于殷勤了。我觉得他当时挺无聊的。他的出现让我无法专心挑选商品,我也没法好好享受购物的乐趣了。于是我决定把购买“Sinfully Cherry Tea”这件事留到以后再说。
后来在家里,我查了一下2盎司散装茶叶能泡出多少杯茶。结果显示,根据个人对茶浓度的喜好不同,大约能泡28到56杯茶。由于我会把它和无味的脱咖啡因红茶混合,冲泡成浓度适中的茶饮,因此对我而言,预计能冲泡出56杯左右——甚至更多。这样算下来,每杯茶的成本约为29美分,此外还需加上脱咖啡因红茶的费用。虽然这种樱桃味茶比普通超市里卖的茶叶稍贵一些,但它并非随处可见的常见商品。下次去时,我打算买一袋试试。
这次购物体验我给4.0分。
