2: Warrior Queens
In this week's episode of Tits and Tea (recorded in March) we were inspired by Women's History Month and talk about three Warrior Queens from the distant past. We sail into battle with Cleopatra in Ancient Egypt, storm Orleans with Joan of Arc and burn down... well every city we find with Boudicca- Queen of the Iceni. We also compare their lives and challenges as rulers in their time to those of a modern day monarch. Bella's tea offering for this episode sounded like the perfect pairing- Gunpowder tea but it's explosive taste left us a little shocked! We hope you enjoy this episode! We'd love you to let us know your thoughts on any of our social platforms- we're @tandteapodcast and regularly post content relative to the episodes.
Audio heads up: there is a verbal mention of this at the beginning of the podcast but we tried to upgrade our studio set up for this episode and the result was a little audio interference leading to a sharp edit style to try and reduce the squeaking chair sound. Don't worry- we'll not be keeping this set up and the audio will improve but apologies for the few little audio issues on this episode!
Show Notes:
JACINDA ARDERN!!!!! How did we blank on the name of the amazing prime minister of New Zealand- Jacinda Ardern who will certainly be getting an episode of her own.
This weeks tea is: Ahmad Tea- London. Gunpowder Supreme Tea, loose leaf, trust us- don't let it brew too long, drink without milk but add honey/sweetener to taste.
