I used a sponsor gift from The Republic of Tea for the creation of this recipe.  This tea made the perfect brine for the pork.

This recipe does need to be started the day before so that the pork can brine overnight.  When you are ready to serve, however, the pork only takes minutes on the grill to reach a perfect 145*-160*.  

Please scroll down past this terrific recipe to enter into the fantastic giveaway being offered by our sponsors all week long.

I served this pork tenderloin along with Pickled Cabbage and Roasted Sunchokes, Potatoes and Mushrooms.  Those recipes are coming up this week as well while we are celebrating the Flavors of Fall.  For dessert, I served up a Caramel Apple Ice Cream Pie that I shared with you yesterday.
