Turn the kettle on.
It’s on these fresh, Melbourne mornings that one solitary thought dawns on me: I should invest in a Snuggie. Another musing (marginally more relevant given the crux of this article) is that Poms know what’s up when it comes to their longstanding, medieval ritual of conjuring a ‘cuppa’ at various intervals throughout the day.
Fighting off sore throats, staying toasty and having a cauldron to share goss over with friends are just a teaspoon-full of reasons why you should look at brewing up some of The Loose Lips Tea Co offerings this winter.
Proudly Australian made and owned, vegan friendly and 100% hand-blended to Queen Elizabeth Afternoon Tea Level standards, these dinky sachets are designed for royalty. Not only do they surpass tea expectations when it comes to flavour and vibrance, but they are also destined to sit oh-so prettily on your kitchen countertop.
With a slew of beautifully packaged concoctions to choose from, I was spoilt for choice when sampling a couple of their new brews. My current status in mind: a cold perpetually ensuing and a notorious sweet tooth to cater for, I opted for two of the ‘Gourmet Specialteas’. Grand Ginger Lemon is a zesty blend of lemongrass and ginger (some failsafe winter remedies), whilst Floral Dreams combines raspberry, strawberry and rose for a potent, dessert-like cocktail of a tea.
Being a coffee connoisseur, I rarely reach for a teabag and admittedly had never brewed my own pot of tea using loose leaves until yesterday. Feeling thoroughly cleansed, hydrated and warm following a hefty mug of Floral Dreams this morning, I am excited to incorporate The Loose Lips Tea Co into my everyday ritual – a step right after refusing to leave the shower for approximately 10 too many minutes.
