My favorite ice tea

This produces a great ice tea every time. No off-taste. I will sometimes throw in a flavored black tea with it such as peach and it blends perfectly, holding its own but allowing a hint of the fruit to come through.

The Nilgiri base is the key. It is not overpowering and allows the fruity flavors to come through. Glad you are enjoying it.

Irish Breakfast - a strong cuppa

When I am looking for a some real punch in my teacup, I brew Irish Breakfast. It goes well with milk and is great for dunking my favorite biscuits (cookies in the USA).

Kenilworth - our family favorite

I grew up in a suburb of Cape Town, called Kenilworth. That is why I tried this blend of black tea. It has become a family favorite.

Organic Decaf Earl Grey

As I can't consume caffeine anymore, and I have been sad to not be able to drink my Silver Tips regular Earl Grey, I was so excited to find that they also have a decaffeinated Earl Grey! It is lovely and I am now able to enjoy my cup of tea again.

Memories of the tea room in Tarrytown

I currently enjoy six teas from Silver Tips. A gang of us in White Plains visited the tea room twice a week. Since there were four of us we ordered four different teas; each of us taking a half cup of each blend. My present choices come from those visits. I miss the shop and all the memories we made there.
