Gin & Tea

Feeling rather festive today after some snow came this morning and after putting the Christmas decorations up.

Today's tea is another herbal delight called Relax; full of camomile and lavender flavours. Hope everyone has a relaxing day 2 of Merry Teamas!

Take a sip and enjoy!

This week's episode we were pineing for some new things to try (see the wonderful pun) so we got to taste some White Yin Zhen Silver Needle Organic tea, along with Tayport Distillery's Scots Pine and also Wild Rose gins.

See what we thought about both, Sophie having tried a Silver Needle tea before, whilst it was another new tea for Craig to tick off his list.

Take a sip and enjoy!

Season 4 has arrived! We are back, baby.

We start off this season with a tea and gin brought back from Sophie's recent travels in the form of Myanmar Green Pindaya (a new tea for both of us!) and GinSinger gin.

With new flavours and tastes blown in, what did we make of them both? Well, take a listen and find out!

Before we delve into season 4, we had the absolute pleasure to speak to Cath from Honeybadger Games about all things tea and D&D.

Please enjoy this special and find out more about these fantastic teas, our love for D&D and maybe some cats too??

Take a sip and enjoy!

We're back baby! Well, we will be very soon after being away. We thought to do a short intro to where we have been and what to look forward to in season 4, but instead we spoke, a lot, and created this whole episode for you. Aren't you all lucky? ;)

Take a sip and enjoy!

Another special flying your way where we were meant to be going on a Gin Distillery tour, but instead, we ended up on a Whisky one. (listen to find out why, blame lies solely with one of us)

We however had a great time at Kingbarn's Distillery, learning about whisky, doocots, different smells and distilling. 

Take a sip and enjoy!

Another special this week as we try a range of German teas Sophie brought back from Germany. With some German thrown in for good measure, and a little surprise at the end too. We understand and learn more about German tea culture, and Craig finds a new favourite.
