Gorgeous tea-tasting evening at Piacha, Islington, London. Run by the incredible Pia Ikkala, with unique blends and gorgeous classics. This is a nutty, rich black oolong, and the sandwiches all include some tea (here apple green with brie and genmaicha with salmon).
A beautifully balanced House Chai at Dishoom Kingly Street in London. Uses the natural sweetness of milk and proper infusion of spices rather than horrible syrups. (That said the Baileys version they do is actually pretty nice too!). Next time maybe I'll try the dark chocolate... Amazing food, too.
Lovely pot of Assam with lunch
A mild and pleasantly earthy Assam at Yumchaa, Camden, London. The feta and olive scone was a doughy delight!
We went back for more. This dark yet delicate oolong was a winner.
Delicious first flush Darjeeling and a ballsy Sri Lankan black tea with a French-inspired afternoon tea in Stockholm's Gamla Stan (old town). The Chaikhana tea house is lovely with an extensive tea menu. The afternoon tea's duck liver mousse on walnut bread with fig configure was the absolute winner; we also had a gorgeous croque madame and a hearty club sandwich.
Proper loose leaf Darjeeling at the 5th floor cafe in Foyles on the Charing Cross Road in London.
Even on holiday...
Darjeeling at the Little British Tea Shop in Bexhill-on-Sea.
Gave 6teas Big Daddy House Blend of Assam and Darjeeling a try and guess what? It was delicious! Really tasted like fresh brewed loose leaf tea. Not cheap at £15 for 3 bottles (minimum 18 servings) so won't be a regular thing for me but given everything that goes into it that's actually very good value. Also nice to support a local British business when it's come up with something unusual and good. More at: http://alexandragoldstein.co.uk/2015/02/26/review-6teas-liquid-tea-concentrate/
Matcha latte at Shoryu in Kingly Court. Childishly amused by the shape of the milk pattern after I took a slurp... Unfortunate.
Intriguing! Full thoughts to follow...
I picked this up in an amazing tea shop in the Dandenong mountains of Victoria. It's taken quite a lot of experimenting with brew time but I find a mere 20 seconds works best.
Afternoon tea at The Wellesley, Knightsbridge, London. We snaffled up the good too fast to photograph most of it. The Iron Goddess of Mercy Oolong tea was bagged but whole leaf with a mild fragrance and light, sweet taste. The 2nd flush Darjeeling was pretty good too. A good value special treat in lovely surroundings.
Some lovely oolong at Shoryu in Soho, London; it's served hot or cold and was quite a rich, strongly scented hot brew. The lovely musty smell hit me as soon as it was poured. Could over brew easily but they keep the hot water topped up. Bonus - delicious tonkotsu in the background...
Fantastic.
