Whether you’re relaxing in front of the telly after a big dinner, called some girlfriends over for a catch-up or simply blogging away to your heart’s content; there’s nothing better than indulging in a hot cuppa. A hot cup of tea that is.
So I welcome you all aboard the T2 Tea bandwagon – Australia’s home to the largest collection of loose leaf tea, herbal tisanes and beautiful tea-ware that belong at an elegant high-tea party, one that you and I could only ever dream about attending. Fortunate enough to experience the sensory pleasures of T2 Tea, read on for my charming account of the finest, most delightful tea I’ve ever tasted.
My absolute favourite – this medium-bodied black tea base with a fruity French twist had me wanting and wishing for more. A perfect blend of citrus and floral while retaining the black tea foundations make for an inspiring, sweet and flavoursome tea. With hints of sunflowers, rose, hibiscus and zesty citrus, the aroma is divine but delicate; giving off a posh ambience – fit for a princess. So if you’re looking to spoil yourself with a decadent afternoon break make yourself a cup of T2 Tea’s French Earl Grey, I promise it won’t disappoint!
A refreshing yet beautifully warm herbal tisane that is sure to become a Winter morning favourite, a cup of Lemongrass and Ginger tea fits perfectly into a movie scene involving a late Sunday breakfast in bed, or one better – as a lovable addition to your own morning ventures. The warmth of the infused ginger is sensational for keeping you warm and depending on your acquired taste – goes great with a dash of honey. The strong zest of the dried lemongrass brings a cool and invigorating character that makes this tea perfect to serve iced during the warmer months. Versatile and delicious, this is one that strongly deserves a place in everyone’s cupboard.
Peppermint tea is a must have, there are to be no buts, maybes or sitting on the fence. A sweet, smooth minty taste that is not only clean and calming but works wonders for digestion – how could you say anything but yes? Just Peppermint by T2 Tea is also a herbal tisane, brewed with peppermint leaf; sending out a vibrant minty scent which is uplifting yet soothing at the same time. If you’re a sweet tooth I suggest serving with a drizzle of honey and if you’re after a strong minty taste, let the loose tea brew for the maximum brewing time. A win-win for everyone!
A gorgeous green tea that is delectably fruity due to the addition of freeze-dried strawberry pieces makes this T2 Tea’s most popular flavoured green tea. The scent is a sweet sensation filled with the aroma of strawberries and cream and fulfils those mid-late afternoon sugar cravings. That’s not to say you can’t accompany your cuppa with a sweet treat or biscuit, actually that sounds just perfect. I couldn’t get enough of Gorgeous Geisha and thus also tried it iced – all I have to say is put this tea on the top of your list.
So if your tastebuds are tingling for a taste of T2 Tea’s luscious teas see their online store, they ship internationally!
