Quite clearly, I did not do any tea research last night, or any drinking of tea… *hangs head in shame*
However, whilst I was drinking distinctly un-tea-like vodka & lemonade’s at a Blogger’s Meetup, I did learn a few things about tea from several wonderful people who love good tea too…
- Chrysanthemum tea is very nice, very pretty, and quite possibly the borderline “between good tea and getting high”… watch this space.
- The Savoy serves very nice tea, pretty little cakes, and has over-trained staff (”move your hand even slightly towards the teapot and all of a sudden there’s someone at your elbow doing it for you!”)
- PG Tips has its place in the world, and in that place it’s darn good.
- The Argentinians drink a tea called ‘Yerba mate‘ - the infusion is just called ‘mate’, pronounced matay - which is very similar to green tea, and it is extremely popular in Argentina.
So… I’m sorry I went out to socialise last night instead of drink tea, but there will be a proper tea debate night - promise.
