Yesterday I finally brewed a sample of a French Earl Grey tea from T2 - a flavoured black tea. It was really interesting with large pieces of flowers (hibiscus, sunflower blossoms, rose and mallow flowers) described on the packaging as 'classic Earl Grey with a floral fruity twist'. I am not much of a non-milk tea drinker though, I like my tea milky and sugary.
Maybe I should have put some milk in but I know that would have been almost criminal to the God of Tea.

Sounds interesting. I like my tea strong, white and with one sugar (next time I come over - just so you know) but I want to get into the 'tea thing', complete with proper tea pot and all. I don't drink coffee (not my thing) and wish there were more T2 stores around...
ReplyDeleteYou can buy little trial packs (approx. $3.50??) from this shop at South Bank in Brisbane called T-Licious http://www.tlicious.com.au/ did you see it when you stayed there?
