The Tea Collective

Fabulously spicy, warming tea with ginger, turmeric, chilli and pepper. It brews to a lovely golden colour thanks to the turmeric. Great with milk or honey (the website says “No Milk” but it’s excellent with milk).

I’ve ground some down to more of a powder in a spice grinder – a pestle and mortar would also work – and used it to make spiced chai lattes.

This is a glorious morning cuppa: bright, warm and refreshing. It contains Wattleseed, which gives it a nutty caramel/praline note, as well as Lemon Myrtle which adds a lemon vibrancy.

It also contains Peppermint Gum which is only a very subtle note here and not very detectable compared to the lemon – this tea would be fine for people who aren’t fans of regular mint.

This is a fabulous Earl Grey from an Australian company. It’s rich and strong, due to the inclusion of mandarin orange peel (chen pi) I find it most similar to Whittard’s Earl Grey.
