For The Love Of Tea



Can the love for a particular food or drink be hereditary? I am not sure but it’s the only thing that can justify my love for tea.

Asides packaged Ice tea drinks, brewed tea is the only drink I gush about. The freshness, the smoothness, the several ways you can garnish it.  Hmmm…  Bliss.

I got this tea a couple of weeks back and I love love love the taste, so I thought to just talk about it.

The Sorrel (Hibiscus) and Ginger Tea- the sorrel leaves are used for the popular Zobo Drink. The tea is branded “Tropical Brew Speciality Herbal Tea”, it is manufactured by Rehoboth Agro- Allied Ventures and packaged by 360Degrees concepts and solutions, and they are both Nigerian Companies.

One of the humorous reasons why I like this tea is because it is packaged very beautifully- looks should count for something I guess.

Imagine a hot cup of this ruby coloured tea in the morning - Hibiscus with the lightly spicy boost of ginger and clove. It is delicious, crisp, bold, spicy and mouth spanking. Its smells faintly like Zobo drink and it evokes the feeling of deepness. (Whatever that means)

It’s not the tastiest of tea but it is refreshingly magical when served cold with a dash of honey. It’s one tea you would love chilled when you come home on a hot afternoon. May be it’s the mouth smacking taste that gets me or the seductive vibrate feeling the crimson colour evokes.  Either way, this Sorrel and Ginger tea is one tea I would love to always have in my tea collection.

    Tea hydrates the body. It reduces your stress levels and keeps you calm throughout the day. One thing that I like most about it is that you can drink it hot or cold. Either way, it's fabulous! And you should also count the enormous health benefits it offers. Cheers! For the love of tea! :)
