MY TEASTORY:
Grandad got me started young, white (a LOT of white) Irish breakfast with two.
I never strayed far from that until the world of T2 Tea came to Brisbane some years ago, and now I don’t know what I’d do without a pantry full of tea options.
These days I prefer to drink my teas straight without sweetener (though I appreciate some black variations shine better with milk and/or a dash of honey/sugar). I also love a speedy iced tea (hot brewed then poured over ice), and my latest obsession is cold brewing (which doesn’t make a lot of sense, as Australia is headed into winter and I live in the coldest corner of the country, but oh well).
I’d love to make a bunch of tea friends on here, especially those who can talk Aussie teas with me. I’ve recently come back from a jaunt to North America and it was a real hoot to hit up DAVIDsTEA after reading so many reviews! I wish I’d had the chance to get to more stores… but I’m happy with what I got back past customs. See those teas and my local jams in my reviews.
I LOVE:
+ black teas
+ white teas
+ oolongs
+ flavoured versions of all three of the above
+ herbal infusions and fruit tisanes
NOT A FAN:
+ most green teas
+ LICORICE ROOT (my sworn enemy) and aniseed flavours

@Memily,
Thanks again for the feedback. I did notice there was a double up with the greens, that was unfortunate. The BodyGlow blend had the purpose of assisting in skin clarity and was why there was a high percentage of Chamomile and Calendula. If you would like a free sample of another one our tea blends to try, please visit our website www.moderntea.com.au and send your preference along with a postal address to [email protected] and I’ll send it straight out for you to try.
