Palar Tea – Ginger Tea

Time for Tea Please?

Today, thanks to Rosamma and Sunny Joseph, the founders of Palar Tea I’m able to share with you their tea sent to me from India!

Palar Tea

(Direct from website)

At Palar, a village in the Idukki Hills of Western Ghats, in a land ventured into by many to grow pepper and cardamom, we grew tea naturally and sustainably and today through Palar Tea we share the goodness of our single garden orthodox teas, our soil and our land with the world. From tea growers to tea makers our journey in the world of tea making is as aromatic and flavourful as our high mountain teas.

Words from the founders :Rosamma and Sunny Joseph: All good things begin with sound health and the food we consume is the key to it. As farmers, we have learned that richness of food originates from soil. A healthy soil and healthy environment not only enhances the food it produces, but also the health and life of people consuming it.

With this belief we shifted to natural and sustainable farming methods to rejuvenate our soil and to grow our tea naturally.

Growing and making chemical free tea is our way of sharing the goodness of our land with you. We hope that you enjoy every sip of Palar Tea and wish you a healthy life.

Ginger Tea

For this blend Palar Tea uses black tea and ginger.

Upon opening the tea pouch you are instantly engulfed with a super rich ginger that really catches your attention and senses.

Let’s Get Brewing!

The aroma whilst brewing is completely different to that of its dry state. It’s now almost solely that of the black tea which you are able to smell.

The brewed liquid is that of a dark brown colouring which you tend to expect with black based teas.

Let’s Get Sipping!

First sip is just perfect.

When Palar Tea said ginger tea they certainly weren’t lying to us!

The ginger is rich raw and spicy.

Blended with the black tea it becomes more slightly subtle . They work in perfect harmony and balance. The black tea is smooth and punchy and with the ginger it mellows yet intensifies at the same time.

The gingers peppery tones mixed with thr soothing black tea would work perfect for a pick me up if your feeling a little bit under the weather.

Palar Tea also recommend trying the tea served with milk or as a latte and with how strong this blend is in its flavour it would certainly make the perfect warming blend and afternoon pick me up!

Happy Sipping 🙂

Savoury Tea

Time for Tea Please?

A perfect accompaniment to a good cup of tea is a homemade scone!
Today I paid a visit to Mad Hatters Tea Shop, which you can find in Wymondham, Norfolk, England and had their savoury tea.

Which consists of a cheese scone, butter, red onion chutney, salad, coleslaw & crisps. A long side a pit of tea of your choice, of which I chose lady grey.

I just love the pairing of the floral tones within the lady tea grey blend alongside the savoury notes of the cheese scone. Making it the perfect light lunch.

Happy Sipping 🙂

Savoury Tea

Time for Tea Please?

Going out for tea is one of my favourites things todo especially combined with a little treat. Today I paid a visit to Mad Hatters Tea Shop (Wymondham, Norfolk) to try one of their Savoury Teas. How amazing is the presentation.

Which consisted of a lovely pot of English Breakfast Tea, which was strong in flavour and the perfect partner for the savoury tea.

The Savoury Tea included a homemade cheese scone (served warm) with butter and onion chutney, with individual portions of salad, coleslaw and crisps.

It was the perfect combination for a light lunch yet being the perfect Tea Treat.
I adored the presentation especially the tea cup of crisps. It also made the perfect change to a cream tea.

Happy Sipping 🙂
