As many of you know, I have been somewhat under the weather the past few weeks, and I have to say I have really struggled to face each day. It all started with a headache, then it seems it was caused by a muscle issue in my shoulder/neck…and then my issues with bad nausea reappeared…oh […]

Despite being an avid tea drinker, I had never heard of Pu-erh until it was mentioned at the Tea 101 course with Sarah from Teasense which we did last November! Since then, we have been lucky enough to try some at both Storm in a Teacup and Travelling Samovar, and loved it…and wanted to know […]

As you can probably tell from posts on this blog, we like to “brunch”…and we love tea…proper tea! However, we are constantly amazed at how many places do not know how to make a cup of tea that is actually enjoyable to drink…right to the last drop! Melbourne is definitely a coffee city…there are coffee […]

Hawk and Hunter is located off the main drag, tucked away in Glen Eira Avenue, just opposite the railway station. Despite being quite busy, […]

We used to love coming to this cosy cafe, located just off the main street in Queenscliff, and we were sad when it closed down. The building sat empty for ages, so it was great to hear that it was open again! We decided to pop in one afternoon, and have a cup of tea. […]

Despite becoming somewhat of a “tea snob” nowadays, and preferring liquid delicacies such as a beautiful Silver Needles tea or a well matured Pu erh…my morning rarely starts without a good old fashioned brew. And my tea bag of choice…Yorkshire Tea! I live in Australia….I am not English…I have been to England once…a very long […]

After not doing much over the last few weeks because of the heat…and because we both weren’t feeling the best…we decided we needed some “tea time” and headed to one of our favourite tea destinations…Storm in a Teacup in Collingwood. Had heard that they had just received a delivery of a pu erh tea…so that […]
