Tried this cold brewed for around three hours today and it was beautiful and light.

Why on earth is sugar recommended with this, though? It’s miles better left alone.

drank Peppermint by Monstrositea

I thought I’d made a mistake buying this because I kept adding it to the wrong teas. But I got that sorted tonight with a short 2min steep with some Sencha. Perfect and fresh.

drank Purple Sunset Oolong by Butiki Teas

Are my tastebuds weird if I find this malty? Or is that just an oolong thing? Because I get a nose full of malt and then it’s all over my tongue as well. In an awesome kind of way, mind you. Only with a three minute steep but the water may have been stronger than the recommended 170°F because I’m at work…

drank Rose by T2
1024 tasting notes

It’s funny, I kind of mostly bought this at the time because my friends were all buying up the Mother’s Day promotional teas and I figured I’d better grab one as well. A few weeks down the track and this has become the herbal I turn to lately! Sweet and delicious and full of awesome complementary flavours. I’m glad I got sent a second box for free, lucky lucky!

I almost spent $45 on a very small amount of tea a few days ago because T2 has an adorable new “breakfast club” set with eight of their different city breakfast teas in twee little tins. LITTLE tins. Walk away, Renee.

Meanwhile, ouch cramps ouch hormones ouch emotions.

Everything about this tea continues to be my favourite thing.

Huge mug for dessert tonight because I needed to use up some delicious cream.

HAPPY

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
