Gin & Tea

The first of our specials this season, Sophie and Craig try four teas from In Nature Teas; their Black Tea, Tangerine White Tea, Puerh Age 5 year old and Lotus Slim Tea. A great range of great teas! Take a listen as we try each one and rate what we think and find out more about this Tea company. 

Take a sip and enjoy!

So we have made it to the end of season 3, already! We end the season on a Wild High with the Yunnan F.O.P. tea and Tosh Gin. Both full of lovely foresty and woody flavours, which has been a theme this season. 

Catch you on the flip side for some specials, end of season review show and season 4 coming in the future... 

Take a sip and enjoy!

Our episode is very green this week, as we try Gunpowder Green Tea and the Burleigh's National Forest Gin. (also in a very nice green bottle!) Both are refreshing as the warmer weather continues. There will be a short break before our last episode of the season, but we'll catch you on the flip side. 

Take a sip and enjoy!

This week, we try something a bit different with the Oolong Kombucha and find out what makes a kombucha. Gin wise, we find a new refreshing summer tipple with the Tarquin's Rhubarb and Raspberry Gin. Hope everyone enjoys a drink in the sun as summer feels like it is arriving.

We return this week to an Aussie tea and gin, with Australian Billy Tea by the Berry Tea Shop and Garden Grown Gin by Grown Spirits. Full of flavours found in the bush, both are packed full of flavours. See what Sophie and Craig think of these!

A new tea to try and a tasty gin from two far Eastern countries! We try Genmaicha tea, which is full of little popped parcels of rice and the full of flavour Sông Cái gin, taking you on a journey from Japan to Vietnam. 

Take a sip and enjoy!

This week's episode includes a tea and gin, both gifts and both made fairly locally to Sophie and Craig. We try a tea called Ground by Stoneroot, which is a blend and made by local herbalist Clare. And bought from a 'witch' market for us. And on the gin side, we try Pickering's Gin, the first exclusive gin distillery established in Edinburgh for over 150 years. Take a listen and see what we think! 

Take a sip and enjoy!

This week, Sophie and Craig try the M&S Christmas Spiced Tea and Aviation Gin. Join us on our voyage taste flight, exits can be found at the front and rear of the podcast. 

(Sorry for the less than excellent sound quality this week. Realised after recording that the webcam mic had recorded rather than the proper mics...) 

Take a sip and enjoy!
