Mom just sent me this picture yesterday of the mesh infuser I had bought her from Silver Tips years ago. It is versatile and can be used with some of her favourite mugs. She will be putting it to use as we've decided to have Afternoon Tea together across the miles. We will try different teas and maybe find some pretty tea cup sets as well. This idea stemmed from the idea that Mom could use a forced break in the day. She is 72 and handles an awful lot of chores on her own. She needs that break sometimes!
Bold and delicious, Organic Dian Black is fantastic hot or iced. There is simply no better tea available anywhere!
Earl Grey has always been a favourite, but when I saw this blend with lavender was very interested in trying. What a nice aromatic cup with those peaceful flecks of blue!
This was sent along with the Daily Fusion tea to my best friend who was having chemotherapy treatment and overall just could use something beautiful and comforting to brighten her week. The tea was something she could tolerate when there were many things she could not eat at that time. And the set made her happy.
Had ordered this along with a favourite tea to have delivered to a friend, and it was a welcomed cup of care during a long work week.
It's hard to believe it's been three years (02/2021) since I had ordered this tea, but here we are. Had been searching the cabinet for something different to try this week and found this amongst others...still aromatic and a beautiful rich-coloured potpourri within the infuser
Great to have a green tea with that strong bergamot flavor of Earl Grey. Thought it would be too powerful to have often, but I've gotten quite addicted to the flavor.
This is a perfect afternoon pick me up or something akin to "dessert" tea. Been sipping this for over a decade. The scent is fab too w/ a touch of rose petals.
I start craving Noel tea from the moment that crisp cooler temps hit in the Fall and drink it straight til Spring. Besides the cinnamon spice, the almonds make it special! Even then it's lovely with some Irish Soda Bread around St. Patrick's besides the obvious Nov-Dec Holiday crush.
This is my early morning tea—love it. I make a 2-cup pot. The first cup is gentle, delightful green, not at all bitter (4–5 minute steep). The second cup is stronger of course, and a little bitter—but then I add a teaspoon of turbinado sugar—and it becomes absolute nectar!
Hint: because the leaves are so long, it's a bit difficult to get a consistent measure for this tea, just using a spoon. Sometimes it was becoming too strong. I picked up an electronic gram scale, which solved the problem—5.5 grams for my 2-cup morning pot.
Nostalgia. I did not have such good tea in decades. Smooth and fragrant. it is exactly what you would expect from a top quality Darjeeling.
My husband and I love using this. It allows us to make the exact serving size of the tea that we desire. Now I am buying a second one so we can make two different types of tea at the same time.

First thing that struck me about this batch of Makaibari Autumnal black tea from 2022 was the aroma of the tea in the lovely packaging that it arrived in. I wasn't expecting anything spectacular but this batch was a pleasant surprise as there was a promising fragrance from the package! So far ... so good!
The fragrance in the cup once I brewed the first cup was, again, promising. When I sipped it, I was very pleasantly surprised with the flavour. It definitely had the Darjeeling magic that I have loved since I was a student in Darjeeling many years ago.
I then added a touch of milk and sugar - my preferred way of enjoying my Darjeeling tea - and was able to close my eyes and thoroughly enjoy the experience!!
I am contemplating purchasing some more of this batch of tea if it is still in stock!
I've tried Makaibari Autumnal from Slvertips Tea several times before but I think this is the best I've ever had!
Very pleasantly surprised and satisfied customer!!!
Thank you!!
I tried this tea at a friends house and had about 4 cups. It was smooth and had several different flavor tones. It is not inexpensive, but I can not stop buying it. As my friend who introduced me to it said :”I don’t drink wine, but I have expensive tastes in tea…”
