ReplyDeleteChoosing a favourite tea is almost akin to choosing a favourite kid- different reasons to love them haha. Currently my favourite in this autumn weather would be genmaicha, love the roasted notes from the brown rice.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite tea would have to be English breakfast tea - it is a very good pick me up in the afternoon!
ReplyDeleteMatcha, of course! It's packed full of antioxidants & has the versatility of being served as a beverage & used in cooking. Think- green tea smoked salmon, matcha ice cream.... Yum!

I love Earl Grey. Fragrant and exotic. While I am drinking it I feel as if I am sitting by a lake in the garden of a grand country estate.

ReplyDeleteThe flavour is so intense u think your eating the real thing without the calories!!!
After eating naughty things,
ReplyDeleteMy tummy feels tied up in strings.
A peppermint tea is usually a help,
But mother swears by blanched kelp!
A nice strong black tea, with chili flakes and toffee pieces in to balance spice and sweet, with added ginger pieces for wintery warmth.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite tea - whatever I am drinking at the time... right now it's peppermint, later it may be fruity - I'm an equal opportunity tea drinker...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Earl Grey because I used to love drinking it with my grandma, the aroma brings back that moment of HAPPINESS
ReplyDeleteI like English Breakfast , but try lots of different ones. I have a box that I store my tea bags in, and sometimes for morning tea, first one out is what we have.
ReplyDeleteMy husband always
says "that was a good cup of tea"
