My first foray into specialty tea was walking into TWG Tea at Shangri La Plaza with the waiter recommending Eternal Summer red tea. This was a great choice, I was not expecting such a fantastic cold tea; light red in colour and flavoursome.

I was really blown away by the deep flavour blended with rose blossoms and berries, all of a sudden I have an interest in tea. I was [and remain a coffee drinker] but now I am able to enjoy a tea as well as coffee. That means I can drink less coffee during the day and evening – no need for decaf now. Eternal Summer red tea is a little difficult for me to get in Perth, but when I do get hold of this unique tea, I really enjoy the robust flavours and am always wanting more.
