We have written extensively about tea. It’s not a single post but wherever we could, we have poured our heart out in tea cups. But little did we realise that we would be such trend setters and tea would be so in. And why not, the taste and more so, the health benefits of tea are no secret any more. Given the moment of glory tea is enjoying, we thought of gifting some tea this Diwali. To this end, we came across Teacupsfull and got some of their stuff for hands on experience.
The packaging is smart. It bears the subtlety that we relate with tea. The packaging is of course Step 1 for making a good gift. Step 2 – they have a wide variety procured from various tea growing regions of India. From our comfort chai and masala tea, they have the new age health elixir green teas as well as the offbeat oolongs and white teas.
Step 3 – we got an assortment of tea leaves for ourselves and the first that we tried was Darjeeling tea. It was light, with floral aroma and the tea liquor had the golden hue that is typical to good Darjeeling tea. We were constrained to try the tulsi green tea next because of a nagging cold one of us had. In contrast to Darjeeling, this tea was strong, a little bitter and very helpful for clearing the throat. We also tried their Assam tea. It was full-bodied and a strong decoction that is so needed these cool autumn mornings.
Truth be told, we are impressed with the teas. We have a couple of other tea leave sachets in stock – white tea, Sikkim black tea etc. and can’t wait to try them. Also, we are ordering some as gifts for our “tea-totaller” friends. Wish everybody Teacupsfull of celebrations this season.
I love tea and I drink it several times a day! I’d love to try this one, as I haven’t heard of this brand before! Can’t wait to check it out! 🙂
I think you can get it from Amazon too.
I’ve never been much of a tea drinker. I drink it as a comfort drink when I’m feeling sick or really cold, but not too often. Now I have something new to try when I’m in the mood.
I am from the south, so naturally, I love tea. This sounds like an amazing brand, and I need to try it. Thanks for the recommendation.
Darjeeling tea is my favorite. They make green and black tea.
I have never tried any of the above mentioned teas but who would not love to, right? I guess I need to check this out and try it for myself.
I like black tea and green tea. For black tea I love Yellow label.
Try Teacupsfull for a change. Definitely refined taste.
I love tea! it is so perfect when it is getting cold outside or when you want to relax! I love darjeeling!
Their Darjeeling is sublime.
I do not always drink tea but I know it’s good for health so I try to love it. I’d love to try this!
For health do try white tea, Oolong and green tea of course. Start off in moderation and you should feel the difference by way of detox of your system.
You know, I really want to experience Diwali. We have an Indian community in my city and they do celebrate Diwali like it was a big event. But of course, I am not invited because I am not Indian.
I am getting more and more into teas! I would love to try these as it will be good for your health for the colder season.
