Tuesday Tea Tasting After a brisk walk through the park, kicking up freshly fallen Autumn leaves, it was nice to come out of the cold and hug a cup of Jing Chai. Its a warming, spicy, colourful cuppa which matched the changing landscape out my window. Also, check out my new Tea Infuser Mug! Looks fab (as does the tea brewing in it), and cleverly designed for when you want to infuse your tea but don't want to faff about with a teapot and strainer. My tip: leave the used leaves sitting around...

I am lucky that near to the Post Office where I deliver my coaster orders is a lovely, homely cafe - Amandine. Amongst the bunting and retro furniture they serve Teapigs and today I had a well-needed, strongly-steeped Everyday Brew with a little sugar hit and naughty muffin on the side...sometimes you just need that extra kick!
