The able2know Tea Room:: Now Open::

Oh, noooo, what should I wear?

Come as you are ... well ... at least wear a comfortable bath robe (s'il vous plait... )

Moroccan Mint Green
Lemon Ginger Green
Licorice Spice
Dyslexia's good Assam, loose tea
Darjeeling, loose
Pixie Mate Limon
Pixie Mate Chocolate (Mate Solstice)
English Breakfast
Lipton's Peach Tea in cans, when in Rome and buying from a refreshment stall, sort of like my enjoying orange fanta in Mexico

What a gorgeous tea room! I'll have a Moroccan Mint, please.

Here you go...

And fresh figs, too! Wonderful. Thanks so much.

De rien!

I happen to have a couple of these in my purse...



Could you bring me a teapot of hot water, please? And...honey?

Not sure how much water you need...

and the biscuits are on the house...

I was just going to use the honey to sweeten the tea...but since you insist! Mmm...fresh, homemade biscuits! There is nothing better.

This is a very nice place you have here. Have you hired any staff yet, or are you still doing everything yourself?

Lapsang Souchong, if I'm going to be around long enough for full benefit of the aroma. In more plebian moments, most store brands are fine with me.

Speaking of aroma, China Black doesn't do a thing for me. Way too fruity.

I love almost any black tea.

some of my faves

GENMAICHA


Genmaicha is the Japanese name for Green Tea and is also commonly referred to as the popcorn tea. Sencha is mixed with wholemeal rice, which has been fire roasted where it often ‘pops’ not unlike popcorn which is how it received its alternate name. Genmaicha has a sweet, nutty and a slight popcorn flavour which is known to aid in digestion. Due to the fact that it is naturally low in caffeine, this light Green Tea can be consumed at night without the risk of disturbing sleep.

SUMATRA HIGHLAND CHIN CHIN


This Indonesian Oolong is oxidized very tenderly providing the tea with a very fruity flavour. If you are new to Oolong tea the Sumatra Highland Chin Chin is great for beginners and is perfect any time of day.

TARRY LAPSANG SOUCHONG


This distinctive Black Tea is known for its naturally created deep, pungent, smoky aroma. Black Tea leaves are fired over smoking pine needles, which produce its overwhelming scent and flavour. This unique tea experience is a must try for Black Tea lovers.

KALAHARI


Kalahari is an exciting blend of Rooibos, lemongrass, orange peel and mallow blossoms. These natural ingredients combine to create a tea with a refreshing orange flavour. Kalahari is both appealing to the eye and the pallet and is perfect either hot or iced for tea and fruit lovers.

LADY EARL GREY


Black Tea lovers have been putting Earl Grey on the top of their list for years. And as the old saying goes, `behind every great man there is a great woman` and we are sure that our Lady Earl Grey will become an instant favourite with all tea drinkers. The subtle taste of bergamot with a hint of lemon is the perfect way to start or end any day.

TEMPLE OF HEAVEN GUNPOWDER


The name Gunpowder was given to this tea because its appearance resembles gunpowder pellets. This slightly open twisted leaf is hand shaped and has a very aromatic balanced flavour.

The sun is shining.

had an English lady leave a bunch of Earl Grey at my place once. kinda grown fond of it now.

with honey and cream, of course.

A favorite of mine is to take english black tea and mix it half with green tea.

If that is the legendary Koala Tea, I believe I would strain it, after all.

I'll have the "tea of the day", thanks! (Rather broke at the moment.) Some of these look a wee bit expensive, though very tempting, for my budget. So what would today's tea of the day be, please?

both Lady Diane and my brother add cream to their tea. It's an abomination, I have my Assam tea with lemon and one lump. When slumming I will drink Twinings english breakfast or, heaven forbid, Typhoo tea when really desperate.
