Haha, glad to know that you love it. I tried 茶叶蛋 before but I couldn't smell the scent of the tea leaves. It was all just about soy sauce.

Well, do not make a lot of 茶叶蛋 at a time. If you can not eat them immediately, chemical reaction occurs inside the eggs. Some material in the eggs may cause damage to your health.

By the way, we Chinese people call spiced boiled eggs with tea leaves “茶叶蛋" in Chinese.

When just drinking tea I normally use about a tablespoon of jasmine tea for 250 ml of water, so maybe it would help to increase the amount used for the egg bath. I will experiment with a small amount to make sure I do not eat too many.
