The best. The best. It’s the best, Ron. Seriously, serve this hot OR cold with a dash of vanilla soy milk for your world to be ROCKED.

My new favourite way of drinking Red Choc Mint is with some vanilla-flavoured soy milk, hot OR cold! Adds a lovely sweet kick to this delicious dessert tea.

Oh, for any mint fans this tea is a winner! Such a beautiful minty scent; this red tea is just fabulous. Steep for ages and it just gets better. So far I’ve tried it plain and with a dash of milk, but I’m also looking forward to seeing what a drop of maple syrup will do…

Sipdown x 2 thanks to throwing tulsi in with this blend over the past few days!

I’m on my last day of pseudoephedrine and feeling much better, I have to say! I just hope I’ve managed to keep the virus out of my chest because then everything lasts forever. Just get out of me please, illness!

Getting my cupboard so low has me pretty excited to do a decent order from a new company, I think it’s time I tried Whispering Pines… any other suggestions?

Hahahaha I absolutely have another cold virus. Just put me out of my misery, please. I’ve even had to take a Sunday off work and I NEVER do that because $$$. Crying.

Another bloody marvellous sipdown! So proud of myself! Only half a million left to go! Ai.

It’s been a long while between cups of this, but I got a free box a few months ago and I’m glad of that because I’ve got a rotten head cold at the moment and a mug of this is making me feel better.

Sipdown #9: getting rid of that last sample teabag I stole from a hotel’s tea stash a year ago.

Drinking this makes me feel ill. But not in a bad way. Just because for so many years this tea was my go-to whenever I had a cold virus! These days I’m more likely to reach for a more complex blend by a local tea company, but T2’s lemongrass & ginger will always hold a special place in my nostalgic heart. Still tasty and soothing with a dollop of honey, refreshing without.

Massive fan of lemongrass & ginger at all times, but TassieTeaGirl has it right in saying it sure helps when you have a cold! I love this tea anywhere any time, it’s lovely as is or sweetened with a spot of honey.

The dry scent of this tea is so beautiful, and I’m happy to report that it’s retained in a lighter sense in the steeped tea. Beautiful sencha with a sweet kick. Also sensational as an iced tea. My new favourite of T2’s flavoured senchas.

Getting rid of the oldest tea in my cupboard! I guess I’m not particularly drawn to matcha, unless it’s in an almond milk shake or a latte. I’m not afraid to admit that!

I brought this stuff to work to finish it off via lattes (seeing as it’s the middle of winter and not really milkshake weather) but the matcha’s gotten pretty gritty and grainy. I lasted two lattes and threw the rest out. It DID say best before July 2015 on the bottom, but I’d say it was actually a bit earlier than that, even kept in the sealed container it came in.

Today’s temperatures are being so weird. I had a nice warm chai earlier today and now this afternoon I’m having a nice cool matcha milkshake. Good times!

After a wonderful thin tea ceremony at Untitled in MONA’s Red Queen exhibition this morning, I was in the mood for matcha! A warm day today meant a refreshing matcha milkshake. Man I love those things.

Use only 1/4 teaspoon per cup for this bad boy. Took me back to the green tea ceremony we went to in primary school at first. I’ve tried both frothed (using the whisk) and stirred (the powder means you only need to dissolve it) but I think perhaps my favourite of all is a matcha milkshake – one part stirred matcha, one part almond milk, and a small drop of honey to sweeten. Ridiculously good.

I like black tea with milk, the package recommended on its own but I added milk anyway…
Seeing as I normally hate floral or fruity tea I really enjoy this one, not only does it smell great buts it tastes amazing an has a really nice after taste.
Probably appropriate for afternoon tea as I prefer an English or Melbourne breakfast tea for breakfast but still, I really love it! :)

Definitely a sweet treat. I’m baffled by the dry scent – half of me thinks it smells sweet and appealing, and the other half of me thinks it smells like medicine. In any case, the taste is mild and sweet, and is just fine as is.

This tea never disappoints me. I love it so much.

Time to unbox an old favourite, just in time for a bout of cold weather. I was worried years of trying many and varied exciting teas would lessen my love for the old Ginger Spice, but boy howdy it seems like nothing’s gonna change my love for yooooou.

True love forever. Almost finished my current box of this yesterday, rushed out for a replacement box today. We’ll never be apart.
