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.
Wow Jess, I love this website as much as I love tea:)) For me the best tea is the Assam. It’s stong and perfect with milk. I’ve tried the ceylon tea but it wasn’t as strong as I needed it to be. Also the English Breakfast is not that bad:) Besides the black tea, my favourites “non-tea-s” are Roibos, Honeybush and mate (any kind).
However, nothing can beat a good assam in the morning:)
Can’t wait to see your results;)

ever tried fresh mint leaves from the garden? wash them, and add in boiling water- maybe with some sugar or honey- and done
your site looks wonderful!
Thank you lovely ladies!!
Bejoes: that’s a great idea, I’m going to buy some fresh mint from the shops later and try that out
Zee - I love Assam too! So much! Results will be up later
