Favourite Teas

Hello :) Tea is always part of my day. I'll usually drink a cup in the morning, make a pot for a few cups in the afternoon, and another in the evening. Something I love about selling tea at the markets, is I'm not only selling a fabulous product; but it's the ritual as well. I find when I'm busy or stressed, I'll just go to the kitchen and take a few minutes to pick a blend, pop on the kettle, brew, wait and sip.

Some of my favourite teas at the moment include...

Melbourne Breakfast. This one is a robust black tea with a comforting hint of vanilla. Even though I don't drink too much black tea, a cup of this in the morning is nice, and the vanilla touch isn't too sweet, so it's easy to drink.


Iron Buddha Oolong. I'm new to oolong and bought a small amount a few days ago. Oolong, a semi-fermented black tea is in between a black and green tea. I've really been enjoying its subtle earthiness in the evening...


Bo He (field mint). This medicine-grade mint tea is the best I've tried. It has such a bold flavour, and is definitely refreshing and cooling, meaning it's great in summer. Sometimes I make this as an iced tea, and it's delicious, especially with a few sliced strawberries!


I've in fact just come back from the markets, selling the Little China Tea tea range as I usually do. It was a super windy day, so I'm glad to be home, curled up in bed with a big mug of oolong. At the markets I wore these teabags earrings (yep, they're real teabags!), which seemed appropriate for my stall, and they were quite a hit! So fun!


What teas have you been sipping on lately?

  1. Teabag earrings are cute!

    I've been loving iced tea at the moment, but I can't help but still love my earl grey and french earl grey. Although T2 have this amazing tea which I've been drinking heaps, ayurvedic vata boom which is really spicy and liquorice-y. nom!

    1. I love a chai- agree though, a lot of cafes I try make it too sweet and aren't spicy enough! x

  4. I never thought to add vanilla into my teas. I'll try that. =) I like green teas but lately have been turning to black.
