One of My Favorite Teas: Pure Ceylon



The packet for this Chanui tea is very confusing. It is touted as "New Zealand's best tea" but the flavor is called "Pure Ceylon" which is the old name for the country of Sri Lanka.

Anyway, to complement the flavor I add a little Manuka honey. The tea's flavor is very basic. If someone were to ask me to name it I would say it was "tea flavored." The Manuka infuses a hint of Kiwi-land into the cup.

The piece of red marble seen above is from an earthquake damaged office building in Christchurch. Several fragments were laying around on the sidewalks so I took one as a memento.

The bottle cap is from a New Zealand brand of beer called "Tui" and unsurprisingly, it features a Tui bird on the cap and label. The Tui is my favorite NZ bird.
