I love oolong! Not sure if having honey oolong would ruin the delicate flavour?
Never heard of yellow tea though! Got to try that!
Barry’s tea is incredibly delicious but so hard to source. It’s an Irish breakfast tea that has spoilt me for all others.
My favourite is French Earl Grey. I am unaware of its benefits but I certainly love its fragrance.
Earl grey smells Devine!
I love Dilmah’s green tea with moroccan mint at the moment but I think I will have to give these teas a try – they sound yum.
I love love love my lemongrass and ginger tea – good for upset tummies too. I need to try all of these ones too though!
Lemon and ginger is my afternoon treat.
Can’t wait to try some of these delicious-looking teas. I also find sage tea has a lot of health benefits
Daintree would make a great Australian gift for overseas friends.
