Hello lovelies 🎄🫖 another #christmascuppas and today’s tea is @samovarteahouse King’s Oolong. Now I decided to include this in my Christmas Cuppas series as when I saw the name it made me think of the Three Kings from the nativity story. This is a ginseng oolong which I have never tried before but seen a few people rave about a ginseng oolong! Now I steeped this twice; the first steeping I infused for 1 minute (90 degrees) this has the most unusual colour that is a green/blue hue. The scent was light, earthy & mineral with the slightest note of salt. The ginseng gave it a wet wood aroma. The flavour was slightly bitter & it reminded me of an iron goddess oolong. It had a light taste & wet wood/earthy notes from the ginseng. After each sip however it was lovely & sweet. It is thick in viscosity & coats the mouth.
For the second steeping I opted for 2 minutes (90 degrees) in scent it was very similar however that mineral note had gone & the earthy tones intensified with a grassy note. The taste was a complete 180 & was lovely & sweet first woody then it held a flavour that made me think of strawberry syrup. Absolutely delicious & I can’t wait to steep it again tomorrow! 🫖🤍

Hello lovelies 🫖
I’m here for another brew review.
What’s the perfect solution to a wet, miserable December afternoon? A comforting book & even more comforting brew! One of my favourite cosy brews is a Genmaicha - popcorn tea & oh boy is this one from @samovarteahouse lovely 😍
This infuses at 80 degrees for just 1-2 minutes - so you don’t have to stand about in the chilly kitchen waiting for your tea to steep. I decided to go for 1 minute 30. This Genmaicha is Sencha tea & Roasted Brown Rice. The scent is just so inviting & comforting the roasted rice coming through first; nutty, toasty, malty goodness paired with light, grassy & mellow Sencha. The taste is even better & everything you want in a good Genmaicha! Roasted rice fills the mouth savoury & nutty with a finishing note of sweet sticky rice then Sencha rushes in fresh & grassy on the palette. This blend has no bitterness to it, is smooth & the aftertaste is that lovely roasted note bribing the blend full circle. 🫖🤍

What’s better than a nutty, cosy genmaicha on a rainy afternoon? Nothing! I have been sipping on this one from @samovarteahouse & my favourite way to brew is in this basket infuser. It is nice & wide so the tea leaves have enough space to unfurl & move freely unlocking all the lovely flavour & health benefits & the holes are fine enough that the leaves/dust do not escape into the bottom of the cup. Keep an eye out for an upcoming review on this lovely blend 🫖🤍

The Makers at Christmas - alternative gift guide ☃️

🎄 A fabulous selection of handmade Christmas gifts are up on The Makers! There's gift guides for bookworms, food lovers, kids and the notorious People Who Have Everything. And of course everything is handmade by a maker.

🤶 You don't need me to remind you once again to shop handmade at Christmas. But I'm going to anyway. Shop handmade this Christmas! Every single purchase means so very much to all of us.

🎄 The cover star of this issue is the wonderful Samovar Tea House. A local cafe who sadly had to close their bricks and mortar cafe because of Covid, but have reopened as an online teashop. They deliver across the UK, stocking an amazing array of specially blended teas, coffee and hot chocolate alongside tea ware and even tea themed bath salts! If you're lucky enough to be local to Ely, like me, they also deliver cake. We had a delivery recently of an amazing cherry chocolate brownie and incredible pumpkin cheesecake.

🤶 This is why I support makers and small businesses. They have been through so much this year, but they're forever coming up with solutions to stay in business and provide the very best to their customers. Everyone has a personal story and a reason for being the best at what they do. Please support us this Christmas and beyond. You'll be amazed at what you find. ♥️
