I have recently developed a taste for spicy teas and considering that I live in Bangalore, one of the few Indian cities that is currently experiencing winter, hot tea with ginger, lemon and a dash of black pepper seem like the best thing in the evenings. I usually add just a tiny amount of sugar to this drink, although before this addiction, my go-to has always been the best of Darjeeling teas from my home state of Bengal. As a purist regarding tea, I am often a little dismissive of new brands that I come across and go in for tried and tested brands. I haven’t even experimented too much with flavoured teas. Since I came across a pack of a Darjeeling by the Sublime House of Tea and bought it on a whim because the packaging was so pretty, I am completely sold on the brand and have bought the Assam tea online as well. Their teas are available in the loose leaf as well as tea bag formats, and for those who love their flavoured teas, they have a grand range of exotic flavours such as Moroccan Mint designed to bring the flavours of the Turkish and Moroccan souks home to you, Jasmine Mandarin, a flavour typical of China and Seventh Heaven, a flavoured Nilgiri tea. Sublime House of Tea has excellent orange pekoe and white tea, and these delicate teas are called Frost Tea and OP Supreme respectively and are available as limited edition packs. I certainly suggest that these not be had with ginger, lemon or anything else, no matter the weather, since these teas are a tea connoisseur’s delight and their flavours should not be dismissively treated or diluted.
I love that these teas are also available as tea bags and retain the flavour and quality of their loose leaf versions. Their White Tea with Raspberry is an exciting mix of good quality white tea with the flavour of freeze-dried raspberry in the tea bag format. They also have several pure green teas and Assam teas available in the same format. For those who prefer a little less caffeine, Rose in Bloom and Cammomile Tea are good choice to buy. The Sublime House of Tea is the perfect stop for those who take their tea seriously, no matter your preference in taste and flavour.
