A smooth, incredibly rich and oaky tea that lingers like that guy you hooked up with a few times then got bored with, but he still texts and calls you even though you haven’t given him any reply in the last 4 months. This Ceylon is great with milk and would pair well with a slice of lemon cheesecake!

Beautiful beautiful beautiful classic Ceylon tea from this small (well 51-100 workers) estate which produces the only Ceylon worth drinking. Incredibly smooth, slightly maltier than the Nandana op1 and lovely with a touch of milk (trim of course). I would recommend this if you’re into bagged Dilmah English Breakfast and are venturing into loose-leaf, if you dig Assams and want to ease yourself into a Ceylon, or if you like nice things. I am totally going to fangirl the heck out of this tea!!

A similar tea to Kenilworth op1, except slightly bolder and a touch more flavoursome, making it that much more tasty. Adding milk to this would be a waste and completely mute the delicate flavour of this Ceylon, so drink it plain!

This is a very smooth, very light, very dull Ceylon. Nothing to write home about, though if you were writing home I would mention that its best drunk without milk and that Darjeeling fans would probably enjoy this tea. Perhaps just as a P.S though, it would be silly to include it inbetween updates about your cat and your enquiries about Auntie Mabels health.

This tastes fairly medicinal with a peppermint tang, but its what you would expect from a medicinal tea. Brew a pot of this to cure what ails you, if what ails you is nausea (though I hear chamomile might help with vaginitis).

I am still wary of green teas, but wanted to brew a classic Japanese green for my sister to try as she is just getting into green tea. Its probably the least offensive tasting tea I’ve ever drank – mild, with a hint of that buttered vegetables taste that sencha tends to have. This would be good to have while enjoying a meal, though I prefer to pair my foods with hard liquor.

ETA: Seeing as the Sencha Fukujyu has been discontinued, this is as close as you’ll get. Its not as astringent and grassy as the Fukujyu though.

After spending all night drinking/dancing/flinging my beads around, I was in desperate need of something that packed a bit more punch than a cup of earl grey. I am not a fan of plain yerba maté at all, but Lemon maté is one of t leaf T’s newest blends and is actually really tasty! The lemongrass and lemon flavour mask the taste of the yerba, making it an incredibly refreshing drink. Plus its crazy healthy for you and a great hangover cure. If you are feeling particularily nasty after flinging your beads around, I’d brew some plain yerba maté with a bit of ginger root added to help you feel less queasy.

I’m not a fan of this hot at all, but iced and topped up with soda water and orange slices makes this taste divine! I used 6 tablespoons for 1 liter (letting the rooibos steep until the water was cold).

This is my current breakfast tea favourite! The Assam tea base is delightfully smooth and I can quite easily (and surprisngly) drink this without milk. The addition of manuka leaf makes this blend even more maltylicious than Malty Breakfast Blend – shocking I know. I can’t decide if it is best paired with Eggs Benedict for brunch, or with a large helping of cinnamon cookies fresh out of the oven…

Tis the season… almost! This tastes like a sweet and mild chai, which I prefer to brew with a stick of cinnamon and drink with milk. I made the mistake of overdosing on Christmas Tea this time last year, so can barely bring myself to finish this cup, but I promise you it is delicious!
