Three for Tea
Lately, I’ve been buying some premium teas online from Fixx Coffee in Dublin. And I’ve been thoroughly enjoying them.
“Ronnefeldt is synonymous with high quality and exquisite teas blended to perfection. Each portion of tea is presented in the Teavelope which boasts an innovative seal that protects the individual flavour so that neither fragrance, aroma, nor flavour can escape.”
“Ronnefeldt is synonymous with high quality and exquisite teas blended to perfection. Each portion of tea is presented in the Teavelope which boasts an innovative seal that protects the individual flavour so that neither fragrance, aroma, nor flavour can escape.”
My purchase included three of these Ronnefeldt teas and they are:
Rooibos Vanilla - A flavoured herbal infusion from South Africa, gently scented with delicate vanilla to create a full bodied taste.
Earl Grey - Full bodied and intensive in flavour, this Darjeeling blend has a refreshing bergamot (citrus) aroma.
Camomile - A herbal infusion of the flowering Camomile herb, this tea has a tangy and aromatic taste, creating a pleasant and relaxing effect.
If you are into this type of tea, you are in for a treat. I am enjoying all three. Perhaps the Rooibos is my favourite but only just. I am just as happy with the other two.
Fixx, best known for their Cuban coffees, – I have their popular Cubita on the go at the moment – also do other teas, including the Cha Teas range, all good.
By the way, if you’d prefer coffee, then I’ve come across a rather good one by Badger and Dodo. Indeed, most of this Cork roaster’s coffees are good but my current favourite is Rwanda Gisuma.

Wine
From
Vineyards Direct were in Bordeaux last week
tasting the 2012s and were impressed with the quality of the vintage, which was
much better than originally thought - added to which, the Bordelais have seen
sense and are bringing their prices down.
“This
is a ripe forward vintage that will provide us all with delightful drinking
clarets in a few years time. We are kicking off the 2012 En Primeur campaign
with what promises to be the biggest bargain of the year - Château Méaume at
just €68 per case IN BOND is
the perfect affordable
every day drinking claret and we highly recommend you stock up.”
