Madame Flavour
Posted by Lea on October 13th filed in FlavoursComment now »
So I am browsing the tea shelves in the supermarket the other day when I spotted a brand that was either new, at least to my supermarket, or I had simply not noticed. Madame Flavour. With cute little boxes, Madame offered the only Chai tea in the whole section, so I was in, as a [...]
Lady Grey from Twinings
Posted by Lea on April 14th filed in FlavoursComment now »
OK, I am going to be radical here and review a mainstream brand – anathema, I know! But it seems appropriate for balance, so today I am going to talk about my favourite tea, Lady Grey. Earl Grey is probably The most famous tea. Phrases such as ‘Earl Grey. Hot’ spring readily to mind for [...]
Monk’s Temple from Seattle Teacup
Posted by Lea on April 4th filed in FlavoursComment now »
So, for something to write abaout, as I haven’t been out to any wonderful high tea establishments recently (sob) I thought I’d review some tea flavours. This is my second entry. A while ago a friend of mine sent me some tea from her favourite tea shop in Seattle, Seattle Teacup. There was a selection [...]

Posted by Lea on April 1st filed in Flavours1 Comment »
My daughter picked up some tea from Nine Owls Tea – a set of about 9 samplers. Today we tried the French Breakfast flavour and mmmmm… very yum! I haven’t had French Breakfast in a very long time, so it was a very refreshing change from my normal Irish Breakfast. I haven’t had this flavour [...]
Best Cup of Tea Ever!

Last week I spent a day in the waiting room while Ford mended my car – I came prepared with a book, my lunch, a mug and a handful of tea bags, as I knew it would take them a while to do the work, but to my surprise I got something on top of [...]
Where A Girl Goes, Collingwood
Posted by Lea on April 13th filed in MelbourneComment now »
I was in Melbourne for a conference recently, and some of the other ladies and I (I don’t care what the boys say – we are ladies and if they deny it one more time its a stiletto right through the foot!) decided that what we needed between sessions was High Tea. Never mind the [...]

The children were left to enjoy their father’s boundless care the other week when I popped out with some girlfriends. We had a plan! High Tea at Franklin Villa! and a magnificent plan it was! We had booked 4 weeks before hand to be sure we got in – its very popular! They called it [...]
Room with Roses Brisbane

Room with Roses is one of the most adorable venues I have ever had the pleasure to attend. The decor is delightful – you really feel as if you have been wafted back to the 1800s. I had an urge to rush off and find a long dress to wear! The roses on all the [...]
The Cupcake Boutique, Aldinga

We spent a few years living in Adelaide until a while back, and we still go back to visit occasionally. Its a hot, dry place, but the people are lovely and we have some special friends that we just have to catch up with occasionally. On our last trip, a friend took me to the [...]

Not many people know this, but Joseph Alexanders, a very nice restaurant and bar down Milton way, also does a high tea.
