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 […]

We tried some of the “tasting” teas…I liked this one… Then as the day was heating up quickly outside, we decided to settle in a nice cool […]
On another tea finding misson, we discovered Lupicia….a fresh tea merchant established in Japan in 1994, and which now has stores in Australia, USA, France, Taiwan and Singapore. The shop…located in Artemis Lane, Melbourne… is delightfully set up…labelled tea chests line the walls, and tins are set up in display cabinets so you can view […]
We are kind of lucky that Storm in a Teacup isn’t local for us…otherwise we would spend far too much time and money working our way through the long list of teas available! It would be worth it though! But we do like to visit as often as we can, and have even attended a […]
