Coffee, Tea or me?

I love tea. And that is still an understatement. I cannot live a single passing day without having one or two cups! Rainy days are a must, especially in a cosy cafe with jazz music in the background..

The tea that I enjoy is one with milk and sugar. That only leaves us with English Breakfast and Earl Grey.

I didn't suddenly decide that I would like tea - I grew up drinking it excessively until it has become one of my comfort foods - never fails to bring back that twang of nostalgia and warmth.

Twinings Classic English Breakfast

Does not go well with pasteurised fresh milk, but pretty nice with powered milk/creamer. Tastes best with little bit of sugar (about half teaspoonful).

Widely available in most cafes, purchasable (is there such a word?) at major supermarkets too.

Heladiv Pure Ceylon (Earl Grey)

Goes well with steamed milk or creamer, fragrant but not overwhelming. The Earl Grey taste hits you in hints, so it is, in my honest British opinion, alarmingly calming. For best results, empty one satchet of sugar.

Available at IKEA Alexandria. $1.50 per cup.
