Tea makes for a huge part\u00a0of my life, whether in the morning to wake me up, or an afternoon shared with a friend laughing over a \u00a0cuppa.<\/p>\n

I was delighted to receive a few samples of some excellent tea from\u00a0\u00a0Teafields<\/a>, the other day.<\/p>\n

\"20140812-P1090131\"<\/p>\n

It was lovely to try all these different teas, ranging from the super healthy Emperor Sencha to the beautiful blue flecked Earl Grey-<\/p>\n

it was a wonderful experience. The tea itself, was an experience, both to behold and taste. Here are some of the different teas that I got to sample.<\/p>\n

Darjeeling 1st flush Black Tea<\/h3>\n

This is a very young leaf tea, made from the tender shoots of the tea plant. Ideally steeped\u00a0for 5 minutes,<\/span>\u00a0the tea\u00a0has\u00a0 a beautiful, golden liquor.<\/p>\n

The tea is refreshing and fruity and almost has a a peachy note to it.<\/p>\n

Darjeeling 2nd flush Black Tea<\/h3>\n

\"20140812-P1090134\"<\/p>\n

This tea is so different in taste and appearance from the first flush. Since the leaf is more mature, the dried leaf itself looks very different from the first flush.<\/p>\n

Perfect for afternoon drinking, this tea, when brewed has a brighter, darker, more reddish colour and the typical smell of Darjeeling teas- a delicate, flowery tea with a really fine flavour.<\/p>\n

This tea is often had with a splash of milk.<\/p>\n

Royal Breakfast Black Tea<\/h3>\n

A robust, strong tea, this tea has a good wake-me-up note.<\/p>\n

Much more\u00a0full bodied than a regular English breakfast and best had with a splash of milk, this tea has the capacity to make your morning very special.<\/p>\n

Jun Chiyabari- Black Tea<\/h3>\n

\"20140815-P1090181\"<\/p>\n

Although its name suggests black tea, the tea itself is an interesting mix of green and black leaves.<\/p>\n

The brewed tea is a very light mellow tea, with an afternote of Darjeeling tea and\u00a0a hint of vanilla.<\/p>\n

The liquor is a light golden yellow in colour. Perfect for those overcast afternoons which remind you of the winters soon to come. The tea is a very light tea and needs to be infused for about 7 minutes.<\/p>\n

Flowery Earl Grey<\/h3>\n

\"20140812-P1090128\"<\/p>\n

This tea is a pleasure even to behold. The dried tea leaves look so beautiful, that I don’t have the heart to plunge them into hot water, but the liquor is so addictive, that I have to. The tea is light and\u00a0\u00a0floral, with fruity citrusy notes. Perfect for afternoons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
