As you all probably know by now, I’m a massive lover of tea!! I love it
in the morning, afternoon and evening. I love it in both warm and chilly
weather. I love homemade Chai Tea and loose tea. I love drinking it on its own
or with a slice of cake (to my mind, the perfect pairing).
Here is a roundup of my favourite teas that I have been really enjoying
these past months!
WHITTARD CHELSEA 1886 - Spice Imperial
This is a black tea with spices (cinnamon, cloves, ginger, orange and
vanilla). This is a rich exotic blend with fabulous aromas. It’s probably the one
that I can’t get enough of! I bought it at Whittard in London, quite costly,
but worth every penny!
WHITTARD CHELSEA 1886 - Mango and Bergamot
This is a delicious blend of green sencha tea, petals and fruit
flavouring. It’s a perfect combination of petals with mango, lulo and bergamot
which produces a sophisticated aromatic blend. This was a gift from my dearest
friend O. It’s become my favourite green tea.
KUSMI TEA - Prince Vladimir
This is a blend of Earl Grey from China flavoured with citrus fruit,
vanilla, and spices. Prince Vladimir is a unique blend that was created in 1888
to celebrate the 900th anniversary of the Christianisation of Russia by
Vladimir the Great.
This is a breakfast tea with a well-balanced combination of three
classic teas: a Chinese black tea, a Ceylon black tea, with a subtle chocolate
flavour, and a black tea from India, full-bodied and strong.

I'm a Milky Oolong man, myself, but I will certainly dip into these suggestions - I particularly like the sound of the Russian Breakfast tea.
ReplyDeleteHello Cresta Bear! Great choice we also love the Milky Oolong from Betjeman and Barton. That said, it costs a fortune. The Russian Breakfast tea is a great tea to awaken the palate in the morning. Have a great weekend :)
DeleteAnother beautiful post. Thank you for your sharing. I'm a green tea enthusiast. So, I would go for the Mango & Bergamot tea from Whittard of Chelsea :D
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rebecca! It’s nice to have you here! Have a great weekend :)
DeleteI'm a big fan of loose, high quality teas :-) This Mango & Bergamot tea sounds really tempting. To be honest I don't like brand Kusmi tea and I don't understand why is that popular in France...
ReplyDeleteHello Alice! The Kusmi Tea was created more than a century ago in Russia. Russia is one of the biggest tea-drinkers country. Therefore, Kusmi Tea offers the finest in high quality tea blends. That's why it became very well-known in Paris, where the head office is. I must also admit that Kusmi Tea has a good marketing strategy. Have a great weekend :)
DeleteCoucou ma belle ! J'espère que tu vas bien ? Moi je suis plutôt café ! Mais ces derniers temps, j'ai éduqué mon palais car y a beaucoup d’avantages à boire du thé vert, autant pour prévenir le cancer, mais aussi pour garder la ligne.
ReplyDeleteJ’ai reçu en cadeau d'excellents thés et infusions dont le thé Sencha du Japon, depuis j'en bois tous les soirs. Ça me fait vachement du bien. Gros bisous et bon weekend <333
Salut Chantal. Je vais très bien, merci. J'adore ton expression " j'ai éduqué mon palais". Le goût du thé vert est particulier c'est pour ça que j'aime celui avec mangue-bergamote que ma meilleure amie m'a offert. J'en bois surtout le soir. Bises et bon weekend.
DeleteEach morning, I always wake up needing strong black tea or coffee. I've never really had green tea!! What is green tea?
ReplyDeleteHello Charles! Green tea comes from the same plant where normal tea is obtained. In fact, it is the same tea but it is processed differently. The normal black tea is obtained by fermenting the tea leaves. This fermentation changes its colour and flavour. In the case of green tea, the tea leaves are dried or slightly steamed but not fermented. This is what makes it look green when it’s brewed. Have a great weekend in that beautiful city of yours :)
DeleteDevem ser muito bons e eu que sou um fã de chás.

De facto são muito bons, Francisco. Um abraço e bom fim-de-semana.
DeleteTambém tenho o chá como amante...
ReplyDeleteEm especial gosto de Rooibos, mas também gengibre e limão!

Olá Rui ! Hummm adoro chá de gengibre e limão. É excelente para a digestão e o bem-estar. Beijo e bom fim-de-semana.
DeleteI love the names of teas and the colorful packaging but I only drink coffee, water, white wine and vodka. Mostly water!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Judy! So, you are a white wine lover?
DeleteLike you, I drink a lot of water. Plus tea, morning, afternoon and evening. Have a great weekend :)
Lovely post dear! Have a great weekend! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Amira! Have a great weekend.
DeleteI'm a coffee drinker. I usually drink a cup of hot tea when I have the cold. Lately, I've started to drink at least once a day green tea as it is believed it has health benefits, and it can help with maintaining normal weight.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be an expert on tea!
Hello Duta! No, I'm not a tea expert, just a tea lover. Whenever I buy tea at a tea house, the shop assistants explains lots of interesting things :)
DeleteI love tea ! I'm a huge fan of Kusmi !
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it, Charlène :)
Deletei don't actually like tea, but these look lovely anyway:-) the packaging for teas is often so pretty, and i'm sure these would be something my mum would like, so might look into these as gifts! xx
ReplyDeleteGlad you like these tea suggestions, Laura :)
DeleteTambém sou um grande apaixonado pelo chá. Ele pode ter sua hora, pela manhã, à tarde ou à noite; mas é também muito bem vindo quando seu perfume surge em nossa mente de repente, a qualquer momento, em qualquer situação! Esse que apresentas parece ser delicioso.
ReplyDeleteAssocio o momento do chá a uma conversa; como muitas vezes não é possível, a música está sempre presente para me acompanhar! Um abraço
Obrigada pela visita, Marco Lucca :)
DeleteI also love teas.
ReplyDeleteWe have a fantastic local shop where one can buy such good ones.
The pictures of the teas that you posted look fantastic.
Tea houses, cake shops and bookstores are fantastic places, isn't it? Thanks for your kind words, Brian :)
DeleteDire que je n'ai jamais goûté les thés de chez Kusmi Tea et pourtant j'aime bien en boire de temps à autres :)
ReplyDeleteTu auras l'occasion un de ces jours :)
DeleteTambém aprecio chás... no meu caso... gosto deles com um travo bem leve, e agradável... lúcia-lima, erva cidreira, menta, e há pouco tempo, descobri um de laranja e canela... que me encantou...
ReplyDeleteBeijinhos
Ana
Eu também adoro chá de laranja e canela. Beijinhos :)
