My love of tea has only really kicked in over the past few years, and I find that since I stopped drinking coffee (well, aside from my fave Woolies organic single origin decaf, hehe) my tea collection has grown rather hectically. Currently, I have about 6 or more different types of tea crowding my kitchen counter – I think that some sort of tea cupboard might be in order very soon.
Here are my current favourite teas…
1. Chamomile – this is mostly the tea I drink when I am feeling a bit stressed or in the evenings to wind down.
2. Vanilla Chai – one of my all-time favourites, this tea has just the right balance of spice and natural sweetness… super comfort tea!
3. Raspberry – this tea I love to make as a lovely summer ice tea… simply pop a bag into a glass of cold water, and add an ice cube.
4. Orange – my current favourite tea, this is a Ceylon blend that works surprisingly well with milk… soothing and just plain delicious!
5. Bright Mood – a spicy mood enhancer tea, this one has cinnamon and other stuff that make it smell utterly divine. It tastes great too!
6. Dreamland – I drink this one before bedtime, and while I’m still not sure if it really works or if I’m just always super tired already when I drink it, the yummy taste is super calming somehow.
I also always keep some plain rooibos around, even though I hardly ever drink it – good to have some basic teas for visitors. 
Usually I have some sort of green tea as well – peppermint green tea or jasmine green tea being my favourites. Ooh, or unfermented green rooibos!
My mom and I often joke about starting a tea shop one day, and quite honestly I could actually see that working… I could make my wonderful ice-creams, and we could have all sorts of delish teas from all over the world. As long as I got to paint it pink and make it all pretty, could totally see it happening, hehe.
What is your favourite tea at the moment?
