Thank you, Steepster, for proving that my suspicions yesterday WERE correct and I DO have another flavoured black tea hiding up the back! I couldn’t spot this for the life of me when I went looking yesterday, but I couldn’t even quite remember what it was I was looking for. Bless this website.
Very hazelnutty and warming with a splash of milk on a cold night.

I can’t believe how whittled down my current tea collection is! There was first snow on the mountain yesterday and I had to dig around to try and find something to hit my immediate flavoured-black-with-sugar-and-milk craving that sees me through many a winter’s evening… and it was either this or my very last sachet of DT Fantasy Island, which I just can’t bring myself to crack open. I’m still too desperately sad to say goodbye.

Christmas it is, then!

And a new flavoured black tea order very soon, oops.

I’ve been hoarding my last two sachets of this, my favourite tea of all time. I opened the second last sachet this weekend. I’ve already had one hot cup and one cold brew and I am sad over every sip because it’s one sip closer to being gone from my cupboard forever. Why, DT? Why have you done this to me? I will never forgive you.

Used the last of my Southern Sunrise to make a big 2L iced tea for a crazy heatwave this weekend just past!

So I have a boyfriend now for the first time in a long time and it’s nice and I’m happy. He drinks my shimmer punch and I drink this.

Yay! I’m happy that you’re happy :)

This is out of stock on the T2 website and I’m a little worried there won’t be any more! I’ve only discovered it in the last year or so and it’s a real favourite.

MY TEASTORY:

Grandad got me started young, white (a LOT of white) Irish breakfast with two.

I never strayed far from that until the world of T2 Tea came to Brisbane some years ago, and now I don’t know what I’d do without a pantry full of tea options.

These days I prefer to drink my teas straight without sweetener (though I appreciate some black variations shine better with milk and/or a dash of honey/sugar). I also love a speedy iced tea (hot brewed then poured over ice), and my latest obsession is cold brewing (which doesn’t make a lot of sense, as Australia is headed into winter and I live in the coldest corner of the country, but oh well).

I’d love to make a bunch of tea friends on here, especially those who can talk Aussie teas with me. I’ve recently come back from a jaunt to North America and it was a real hoot to hit up DAVIDsTEA after reading so many reviews! I wish I’d had the chance to get to more stores… but I’m happy with what I got back past customs. See those teas and my local jams in my reviews.

I LOVE:
+ black teas
+ white teas
+ oolongs
+ flavoured versions of all three of the above
+ herbal infusions and fruit tisanes

NOT A FAN:
+ most green teas
+ LICORICE ROOT (my sworn enemy) and aniseed flavours
