I´m not much of a material girl, but I could not resist this, the Love Story Tea Book from Basilur. When I saw the exquisite, completely over-the-top metal tin, I was prepared to forget all that proverbial nonsense about not judging a book by its cover. I would buy it and love it, even if the tea didn´t come anywhere near the promise in the write-up:
"Be mesmerized with the eclectic blends of finest teas as you reminisce romantic unforgettable memories and fantasize many more years of love and romance."
To be precise, the blend consists of Sri Lankan black tea, Sencha green tea and natural almond flowers. It tastes quite wonderful, it really does. I´m thinking tea party where Romeo & Juliet meet Queen Victoria meets the last Russian Tsar meets Lebanese billionaire.
I bought my tea book at Spur in Pineslopes, Johannesburg (R180 for 100g). It´s also available on line.
