Today, I made a trip to my local T2 store (check it out here). It is just such a happy place for me; I love walking through the hazardously tall towers of teacup + saucer upon tea cup + saucer, the endless shelves filled with yummy smells -- I could just live there!
My point in going there, was however to stock up! My tea supplies were severely dwindling, which is likely to happen when you drink at least six mugs of tea a day (this may raise to 8 or 9 in Winter, or when I'm on a particularly good writing streak).
My absolutely favourite tea to drink is Sencha Vanilla -- a green tea which tastes like dessert with a little bit of honey!
But in addition to that, I also bought:
Fresh Chamomile,
and a beautiful Rose Tea!
Chinese have been drinking rose tea for centuries; rumour has it it supposedly makes you more beautiful!
Now; my tips for making the perfect cup of tea:
* use water that is almost boiling, but never actually boiling -- water that is too hot scorches the tea leaves and turns them bitter
* always use honey instead of sugar -- melts beautifully into the brew, and is much better for you!
* tea always tastes better with company, and even more so when there are cookies or cupcakes involved!
All my love, and extra-huge cups of tea,
