Until one day, I was in L'Occataine purchasing a gift for a dear friend of mine. I was asked by the assistant 'Would you like some herbal tea?'
Me (apprehensive) "Um, okay."
Assistant brings the tea. I wait a little while for it to cool, then take a tentative sip. And another and another. 'Hmm, this is actually quite nice isn't it.'
So, the next time I'm at the supermarket, I decide to buy three boxes of tea. Strawberry & raspberry, Camomile & spiced apple and Nettle & blackberry.
I try the Strawberry and raspberry first. It has a light, sweet flavour - a tea for the summer. The. The the Camomile and spiced apple - the flavours are good for autumn or Christmas. And the Nettle and blackberry (which I've only started quite recently after it laying in the back of the cupboard for some time - see the next paragraph) has a nice refreshing flavour. Although, I don't enjoy it as well as the other two.
After about two or three weeks (?) of getting used to these teas, I buy two boxes of green tea (one with lemon, one without). The ultimate test! (haha)
I discover...
I really like green tea! I do! Now I drink it every day. Actually the one with lemon reminds me a bit too much of hot lemon drink (there's nothing wrong with that, but as there's is not much distinction... XD)
I've also tried chai latte. It tastes like a gingerbread house . ^.^ I was offered it when I was at the picture framers, getting a frame for a magazine page of my dear Princess (from Rock and Read).
But, possibly the loveliest tea I've tasted thus far is rose tea. It's actually black tea (Ceylon) with rose. Ah, but it's so lovely. <3
And, for Easter I received this lovely box of tea. I already like it by the packaging (red bow, roses).
