These leaves landed on my tea table as so many others have done in the form of a free 3 gram sample that was kindly included in an order I placed over at House of Tea.

Recently I was moving my teaware cupboard to make better use of our kitchen countertop real estate, and in doing so rediscovered an old pot that I’d kind of half forgotten.

This is the other half of a pair of black teas from Georgia that I recently purchased from House of Tea.
Wen Shan Ping Lin Black Tea
This was one of those impulse buys, tossed into my shopping cart during a “want!” moment of weakness when I was putting together my recent order with House of Tea that saw me also get my thirsty mitts on a pair of teas from Georgia, as well as a beeng of shou pu-erh.

Georgia Etseri Wild Black Tea
My previous experiences with Georgian tea left me wanting more, so when I was putting together an order with perennial favourites House of Tea recently I took the opportunity to throw a couple of new-to-me teas from that country into my virtual shopping cart.
Jin Xuan Charcoal
Another month, another order placed at House of Tea, another free sample to play with.
This time they’ve opted to tempt me with another tasty Oolong.
