I LOVE YOU, GINGER SPICE. What a babe! I’ve tried this tea a bunch of different ways – black, black sweetened (with a sprinkle of sugar/honey), white, and white sweetened. My favourite is black sweetened, but all the ways are just fine, and serve to make this tea totally versatile. The black tea is light enough that you can leave steeping for ages, and there are no bitter notes to the flavour so at no point does it ruin. The cinnamon, ginger and orange work so deliciously together.
I first tried Ginger Spice labelled as a Mother’s Day special “Apple Crumble” and I couldn’t resist that kind of advertising (or packaging). Delighted (and a bit dismayed, to be totally honest) to find that the specials were just renamed standards, and “Apple Crumble” was actually Ginger Spice. Such a relief, because I’m almost out of my first batch and I was starting to fret.
Preparation
This one isn’t one I ever have a craving for, yet when I actually drink it, it is awesome. I’ve had it for ages and when I stared into the depths of my tea collection earlier this week I resolved to drink more of it, and I’ve been wholeheartedly enjoying my evening pot of sencha sprinkles. Good job.
Preparation
Putting your face into a cup of sencha sprinkles is like diving face-first into a rice paddy? Toasted rice and grass jump up to hug your nostrils in a delightful way. Not lying about the fluoro green colour, and a bit spendy ($26 for a box) but consider it a special toasty treat.
Preparation
I bought this one about 3 months ago when I got sick with the first flu of the season (in April, yes, my immune system plots against me!). I had cups and cups of it with dollops of leatherwood honey. Just wonderful for blocked sinuses and a dry, sore throat.
I’ve given this a high rating not because I love the flavours necessarily, but because as a cold and flu tea is very effective.
Preparation
Don’t let it steep too long, as thanks to the cardamom and pepper it gets bitter quickly (I’ve had to save it a few times with the addition of sugar, and I’m someone who likes a strong tea!). As a fan of winter in general, I had such high hopes for this tea – sadly they weren’t met. But I’ve come around to holding this tea in slightly better stead now I’ve learnt a quick infusion is the best for Winter.
Preparation
This is a nice, dependable Earl Grey rendition – a good one to have on hand for visitors and best accompanied by some baked goods (scones, I’d say). The fruit and floral elements are balanced well in the taste, but maybe a tad overpowering in the aroma.
Preparation
This is a solid Sri Lanka black tea. From what people tell me, it’s the sort of tea that tastes and smells just like what the most people think a black tea ‘normally’ tastes and smells like. I quite enjoy it with chocolate, biscuits, or anything sweet to calm the astringency.
Preparation
I tried using this tea for a traditional chai where you heat milk with the tea on the stove. While spice mix was good it took an very very long time to infuse and even then it was much to weak. There is simply not even black tea in the mix for a satisfactory cup of chai.
Preparation
I adore this intensely.
This captures the season perfectly and I often have this after a long day to help me wind down.
Dry, it smells sweet and spicy.
Once brewed, everything comes together and it doesn’t taste as artificial as a lot of T2’s flavoured teas do.
It’s fresh AND soothing.
There are enough slices of orange to give it a bit more kick but cardamom and clove bring such a warmth that you feel yourself glowing from the inside out.
The little meringues are an absolute treat as well! They don’t add much sweetness to the tea itself so I usually pick them out and gobble them up beforehand.
