A week or so ago, we heard some sad news…one of our favourite tea houses in Melbourne was closing it’s doors. We discovered Storm in a Teacup back in 2013, and have been regular visitors there since…and we always have some Storm tea stocked in our pantry. So as the closing date of 31st May […]

Every now and then, two of my interests combine to create something perfect…this is one of them! The T2 Teamaker redesigns the conventional teapot, and allows a perfect cup of tea to be brewed…a gadget that makes good tea…yep, perfect!

As our regular readers will know, we love a good cup of tea…and when staying in a different city, we like to find the best places to get real tea…not just a tea bag waved at hot water, and which is then usually left to stew till undrinkable. A few days ago, I wrote about […]

My favourite must visit place in Sydney is the Queen Victoria Building…I just love the old world ambiance combined with the gorgeous architecture… The QVB was constructed between 1893 to 1898, is 30 metres wide and 190 metres long. It was originally built as a market place, however it has been used for a variety […]

My husband and I are tea drinkers….and by that, I mean we drink an awful lot of tea! We like to take a brew to enjoy when we are out and about, or off on a road trip. But it seems most reusable cups are marketed towards coffee drinkers, with us tea drinkers feeling somewhat […]

Wandering through the Emporium shopping centre in Melbourne’s CBD, we came across a tea shop that we had no idea existed! The Tea Centre is tucked up on the 3rd level, near the large food court, and we certainly needed no encouragement to check it out! We found out that the Tea Centre is 100% […]

While we were enjoying a pre-Christmas mini break down the coast earlier this week, we were rather excited to find a specialty tea…and coffee….house, located right in the seaside city of Geelong! Cartel Roaster’s Brew Bar is located on the corner of Little Malop and James Street, and is a new venture that has only […]
