Daintree

Picked up this teabag from one of my hotel rooms during my stay in Oz, and decided to try it this morning. I’m telling you, this country has the best teas ever. Earthy, rich, aromatic, flavorful…so much flavor, in fact, that I’m planning on re-steeping it later. I used one teabag for 20 oz water/splash soymilk and it was still black as can be.

I used a tea bag for this — it’s really a very nice black tea. Not as delicious as an oolong, but probably one of my favorite black teas. Better than PG Tips, I think.

This is a real favourite. In Australia it’s probably the cheapest quality tea you can get, which makes sense, because our customs requirements are massive and would add to the cost of any tea.
It’s a reddish-brown colour, both in dry form and when made. It exhibits a mildly spicy touch on the tongue, with very earthy undertones – it always vaguely reminds me of rich tropical soil.
If I’m eating beef or a strong curry, this is often my tea of choice, On this occasion, however, a big mug upon waking is going down a treat.
A quick shower and then another cup, I think!
