idiosynkrasias-tea:

Coco-Lemon Thai (White tea, ginger, coconut, lemon myrtle, lemongrass, sunflowers, natural and artificial lemon, cream and coconut flavouring): *****

This tea is rather like sipping on a piña colada on a sunny blue ocean beach. From the name, I’m guessing that beach is on a tropical island in Thailand! Though pineapple was maybe not the flavour David was going for, I find the lemon gives it an incredible sweet yet zingy flavour that, when mixed with the coconut, makes for a incredibly smooth concoction.

Needless to say, I am in love. This is definitely a fitting drink for the beginning of spring. I’ll have to dust off one of my empty tins to make some stockpiles of this one.

Tea and the wider issues of life: Fun tea facts: Russian Caravan:

needlesslydefiantwithtea:

Russian Caravan is my favourite type of tea. A blend of kemum, oolong, and lapsang suchong (resulting in a malty, aromatic, and slightly smoky taste), the tea has an exotic and exciting history.

It gets its name from the route the camel caravans took from China to England. Although the route…
