Tea eggs are always available at convenience stores in Taiwan. My children didn't like their aroma and wouldn't eat them, so I made the eggs with jasmine tea and they loved them.

Since the eggs need to be simmered for a long time, if you use a Thermos Shuttle Chef (which keeps food hot for hours in a vacuum sealed pot) it's really convenient.
If you prefer the flavor to be on the sweet side, increase the sugar by 1 to 2 tablespoons.
Try using star anise, ginger, green onion and garlic instead of the jasmine tea for an authentic Taiwanese flavor. Recipe by TEASMILE

Steps

1

Wash the eggs carefully. Put the eggs in a pan with 1 liter of water and make hard boiled eggs. This takes 15 minutes after the water comes to a boil in a regular pan. In a Shuttle Chef, it takes 2 minutes to boil, then 15 minutes with the lid on to preserve the temperature.
2

Crack the eggs all over with a spoon. Attention: Don't discard the boiling water.
3

Add the tea leaves, jasmine tea leaves, soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar to the pan and simmer the eggs. In a regular pan, it takes 2 hours. In a Shuttle Chef, bring the liquid back to a boil then keep warm for more than 3 hours.
4

Bring to a boil 1-2 times, and marinate the eggs for 1 to 3 nights at room temperature. I recommend refrigerating them after the 2nd day in the summer. In winter, you can keep them at room temperature.
5

When the eggs are done, slice and serve them with shichimi spice and mayonnaise.
6

They are also delicious over rice.

The marinade soaks through the eggs after 2-3 days.
