Mad Hatters Tea Party

Anyone for ..... TEA?

I've never been a "tea drinker".  I would have the occasional Earl Grey or Green Tea but would be happy to leave it at that.  

There's something lovely about going out for a "coffee" and something entirely necessary about the caffeine after long days in court.  I love coffee with pistacio macaroons.  

My coffee machine makes fabulous coffee.

And my kettle has been very neglected ... until recently ...

Whilst procrastinating last week I entered T2 (http://t2tea.com/).  For those not "in the know" this is a Tea franchise with a lovely shop fit and equally helpful staff.

My goal was to buy some green tea to replace my coffee in the morning and I found so much more than that!! *  

*Just a note for the sceptics .... obviously the purpose of my blog is to record savings!  I consider this purchase  an exception to the saving rule as it is good for my health (which I'll need for increased willpower) and  should save me money at the coffee shops!

I bought the 

Green Tea AND 

Earl Grey AND 

Cinnamon (I could not resist the heavenly scent) Cinnamon AND 

of course a teapot.

  I did leave with two free samples ....

Melbourne Breakfast - said to be fabulous to wake up to


and...


Honey Vanilla - the smell alone is divine.  Already sold out in store!

Yesterday marked my first morning of tea. I tried the Earl Grey and it was beautiful.  The ritual of the preparation of the loose leaf tea and the heady aroma in the morning was a perfect remedy for morningitis.  Coupled with the rainy weather it was divine.  

So...after grocery shopping yesterday I popped in to thank the girls at T2 and.... tasted Chai for the first time.  Its a spiced milk tea.  This one had Vanilla Soy milk and Honey - divine.


I also acquired the lovely tins to house my tea.  They match my french kitchen chest beautifully.


Tea has lots of health benefits.  I should have known it was good ... the Mad Hatter, March Hare and the Door mouse were certainly onto something!!!

How do you like your tea???
