Default Green Tea Makes a Pretty Pink!

I wanted to share what I did by accident with Moretti Green Tea...while it was really hot I put it in a reduction flame. It made great shades of dark pink. Look....

Wow! Now I am gonna have to buy some Green Tea - I didn't buy any initially because I have so many greens and just wasn't thrilled about this one.

Thanks for sharing!

Oh yes, it's an Effetre Cool Color. Here are my charts I made when the cool colors first came out (click on each to enlarge and then right click to save). The pinks I found lacking and said at the time that if you want a pink, use the green tea and reduce. The Green Tea is on the center chart and it's Effetre 680.

Think of green tea as a "SEA FOAM GREEN," which is a beautiful color. I LOVE this green. It is gorgeous.

This set is pure green tea.
