Quest for Tea

Here is another post on my favourite non alcoholic drink, I hope you don't mind. You may remember a tea company I blogged about back in 2016, called Jollybrew. Jollybrew sadly got bankrupted, or disappeared suddenly: the website ceased to exist and they suddenly got silent on social media. I think it was around 2019. I was really sad: once it was everywhere around here, in local shops and cafés, then suddenly Jollybrew was gone. But two days ago, as I was browsing through my blog, I clicked on the old link to Jollybrew and lo and behold, it lead to a new tea company, called... the Journey Tea Company. So it appears that they resurrected the old Jollybrew into this new entity, also based in Thame (lovely town by the way). And they must have at least some of the same blends. So now I have a new quest: find products from the Journey Tea Company.

My new teas for autumn

My favourite season is right by the corner (I consider September to be the true start of autumn) and thanks for a recent discovery I am prepared for it when it comes to tea. The local Italian shop (of all places) and a local café sell Jollybrew products. Since I tried their teas, it has been a revelation. They have such a nice range. Anyway, after falling in love with them in the local café, I bought in the Italian shops a bag of Scrumptious Spiced Apple and Pukka Pumpkin Spice. The latter is described as "simply autumn in a cup". I tried it and can witness of the veracity of this claim. So I will have what it takes to warm me up and get myself in the autumnal mood.
