Tea is a journey, and sometimes it’s fun to go off-piste, to venture off the beaten track, explore a little.
I think it’s fair to say that your tea stash can be broken down into several classes, into which you subconsciously slot every tea you own.
We were at Ikea the other weekend, and I happened to notice that the blue and yellow gargantuan now labels their “Upphetta” cafetières as both a coffee and a tea press.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I received 2 free samples of tea in my first order with What-cha.
This sweet little 6 gram Dragon Ball came as a free sample with my first order from What-cha.
I had this post about 90-something percent written, but then **cue sound of brakes being applied, squeal of tyres** discovered that the tea in question, White2Tea’s house blend shou Pu-erh, known as “Old Reliable“, is now unavailable. Its thumbnail photo on the website now sports the dreaded “Out of stock” overlay.
I’d been thinking about exploring deeper into the world of Hei Cha for quite a while.
I came across this tea when I paid a “see what’s new” visit to Canton Tea Co.‘s website.
I recently placed an order with White2Tea for a pair of their own label Pu-erhs – the sheng “Daily Drinker” and the shou “Old Reliable“, and received one of their 2015 Smooch tea balls as a free sample.
