Nice little session to start off the day!

Picked this one up at the weekend when I had the pleasure of visiting this splendid little tea bar at Spitalfields Market. Description is pretty accurate, lovely and floral. I use 3g of leaf in a small gaiwan with water just off the boil.

Again, consumed at the tea bar.

I drank this yesterday at Tea Smith’s excellent tea bar. It was lovingly prepared and served with a specifically designed complimentary caramel chocolate. Exceptional.

Trying a very different brewing method today. Seems to be working well thus far….

A rather unusual and outstanding oolong.

The usual excellent, grassy flavour, full bodied yet delicate, with a very subtle collection of undertones. Brewed with just a touch of water at the bottom initially, to avoid damaging the tea, before filling the pot.

I’ll be re-steeping multiple times today.

I can’t get enough of this. It’s so smooth.
