A classic from South Africa. I bought a huge box of this when I was there. This is like the PG Tips of South Africa – a real standard, go-to tea which you can drink anytime cause there is no caffeine. It’s got a nice flavour, it’s very chill and goes well with milk. Would be nice with honey too. Not flavoured or anything, but it’s such a good standard option to have in the cupboard. Tasty!
Hello fellow tea nerds!
I’m Canadian and my parents are South African, plus I lived in England and Australia as a kid… so I’m rockin some pretty mad British Empire vibe and thus I’ve been a tea fan for quite some time. I am now totally hooked on loose-leaf. It’s super fun to try a bazillion new kinds of tea and choose the right one for a given moment in a day.
My favourite teas are well balanced, mild, maybe fruity/citrusy or with interesting flavours (eg: silk oolongs, grapefruit green rooibos, jasmine silver needle white tea, melon white tea). I also like a solid malty British or other bold style black teas with some oomph (eg: Yunnan Golden Tips, PG Tips).
Let’s nerd out together about why tea is so friggin’ epic!
