I won! Guess the tea chocolate flavour competition update

Further to my previous post, I just heard from Bryony at Lahloo tea:

You were right - and in fact the only person to guess correctly so well done to your clever taste buds! To reward them further I have posted you a pouch of Lahloo Earl Grey tea...

I look forward to trying it out.

Guess the tea chocolate flavour competition

I recently entered Lahloo tea's 'Guess the tea chocolate flavour competition'. I say entered, I was one of the first ten people to email them with my address. The chocolate arrived today, and it was pretty tasty. It was quite hard to tell what flavour tea was used to make it though. I went for Earl Grey. If I'm right, I'll win a free pack tea!

UPDATE: I won! See my latest post here.

Great artwork too. Think I'll try making some later.

Update

I made some syrup and it worked really well! Tastes great hot and cold. Starbucks, eat your heart out.

Afternoon Tea

I'm just sitting down with a nice cup of tea. Or, more accurately, a tea-iere of Jing Tea's Pre Rain Organic Dragon Well Supreme Green Tea. Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 is playing, and it's time to write the last of my birthday thank you letters.

This is the life.

On tea drinking...

Media_http1bpblogspotcom3y0byyyvadcruwnluryixiaaaaaaaaagcu6fxckurklas320lapsangpng_bkcwoibbtfqidjr

I bought two packs of tea from Tesco today; it was two for £2 on the Twining Aromatic Range so I chose Chinese Lapsang Souchong and Indian Chai. The Twinings boxes look good and the website is pretty fancy too. Lapsang Souchang smells and tastes like woodsmoke or, according to the artistic description on the website, is

"incredibly evocative – with autumnal flavours: bonfires and chopping wood. It’s not a fresh, bright, or happy go lucky tea – it’s got purpose and is business-like. In fact, a slightly short tempered man striding the moors comes to mind when drinking this."

I'd recommend it for sure.
