Tea Palace Covent Garden

Hi all,

So here we go... confessions of a tea addict!
I have been really getting into tea drinking over the past year and a half, and my collection has slowly been growing. I picked up a few really nice teas whilst in American at Teavana, and I have been on a hunt for more loose teas in the UK. When in London I insisted that we call into the Tea Palace in Covent Garden Market. It is a loose tea shop, and they have a huge range of different types of teas. I decided to pick up a few, four to be exact, sample sized little caddies. That way I could try them before investing in larger caddies.

They have a wall full of big tins, all brimming with delicious looking teas. But here are the ones that I decided to try.

Starting off the procession, I picked up this fruit tea (no caffeine) the wild berries flavour. Its got big pieces of raspberries, bilberries, elderberries, strawberries and blackberries, giving it a really fruity and slightly sweet flavour. Iced tea I think!

Royal star green tea is another fruity tea (Do you see a pattern emerging?) The green tea is combined with redcurrants, cornflowers, sunflower petals and essence of vanilla. Yum :)

Another fruit tea, this is going to be perfect for making iced tea, while the last dregs of the summer pass by. I do love peach as a flavour in tea, and this one smells sooo good. Packed with peaches, mangoes, apples and flower blossom.

Another peachy tea, green tea. I have tried the Whittards Peach green tea before, but I think this one is my favourite. It has a much lighter and fresher taste. So refreshing.

What kind of tea do you like?
