The list goes on. My favourite Twinnings tea at the moment is Rose Puchong. A lovely black tea with a hint of rose. Unfortunately after scouring the country I have been unable to find anymore of this tea.
S
o as the weather has taken a turn for the better, yes it is full sunshine at 
the moment, I decided to head into town and see what I could find. I met up with my mate James and we headed down the Strand to the original shop which was built in 1706. It is a gorgeous little shop packed with delicious smelling teas. Unfortunately after speaking to one of the managers I found out that this years crop of Rose Puchong tea had been wiped out due to floods! No wonder I couldn't find any. She said to come back about November time. Luckily I have one box left so will allocated myself 1 teabag a week to ensure it lasts.I did pick up some Irish Breakfast tea, a very soft, full tasting black tea (which I'm drinking as I type) and a vanilla flavoured black tea which I'll try later. After this we walked up to Covent Garden and stopped in the Australia Shop where I picked up my Cottee's Green Coola cordial!!! Whoo hoo. How exciting. Although the prices were:
Cottee's Green Coola Cordial £5.65
Cheesals £1.45
Tubes £1.45
Big Caramello koala £1.25
Big Freddo Frog £1.25
I will be enjoying them all and not sharing with anyone. What a rip off but whilst eating the koala decided it was worth it!
We had lunch in the Walkabout, I had a great kangaroo salad with wedges and James had the Kangaroo steak. Watched a bit of the rugby (France vs Italy) then we headed up to Oxford Circus via Carnaby Street. So many stores having sales, I had to restrain myself going in.
A lovely day in the sun!
