Tea Pigs (Week 3) Peppermint

I have a sore tummy, so decided that i would ply it with some tummy tonic, in the form of Tea Pigs' Peppermint.

The leaves are fresher and finer than nay other, because Tea Pigs insist on using whole leaves.

Perfect after a big night out.












This tea is truly delicious, and a very good tummy tonic, leaving a lovely minty aftertaste in your mouth.

Do you like Peppermint tea, because i didn't before i tried this one, and now I'm in love...... its my go too tea! :)

Tea Pigs (Week 2) - everyday brew

Week 2 of the tea pigs tea tasting.


Today i tested a scrummy tea from the tea pigs, their every day blend, and it really is just that. Perfect for any occasion.

I've actually decided i want to throw a small afternoon tea party with cucumber sandwiches and all the trimmings using this tea.

I used my comically large tea cup & saucer


here is the temple (what tea pigs call their tea bags)



Along with all good afternoon tea's comes classical music, for me, Bach it was! Sadly i had to play it myself, rather than being serenaded.


While i played away the kettle was beginning to bubble away, it takes a while because i have a lovely le creuset hob kettle.


The whistling began so i popped into the kitchen to fill my teapot, infused it for 3 mins (suggested time)



I decided to enjoy my tea with a few of Lindor's newest chocolates, caramel flavour.


Then I stepped outside, and enjoyed the sunshine

The suggestion is to add sugar to heal a hangover, i didn't need any, but i like the suggestion, i shall try it sometime.



But it was too hot so after a while i came inside again for another cup



I had a lovely time enjoying the sunshine and a delicious everyday tea.
