Afternoon! So Myself and Kimberley from Tea Is A Wish Blog have been chatting over the last few months and we decided that it would be a nice idea to do a collaboration post. So, we're doing a 'Teas I Drink In a Day' posts, well technically I'm doing brews because I do love a good coffee. The idea of the post is for you guys, to see, on an average day what the kind of drinks are that we have. We're planning on doing this at the end of every month (give or take) and see how our tastes change over the year!
Luckily for me, Kim, is a lot more organised than me and her post has already gone live, which you can read here. Kim is a fabulous tea blogger and both her Blog and Instagram are amazing! I've followed her for a while now, but started talking to her more since we both became Tea Reps for Leaves of the World and honestly she's such a lovely person you should all follow her. Now, like right now. I'll wait here...
6:30am.
My first brew of the day is always coffee. Always. I literally will never start a day without one and if I do, my day generally goes to pot. Andy bought me Nespresso Vertuo Machine for Christmas and I love having a proper coffee in a morning before my journey to work. Most morning I have something lighter, this morning I had Melozio.
8:00am-8:30am.
Last week, I placed a little order with Pure Chimp to get their new Vacuum Flask and I've loved taking Matcha with me on the bus in a morning. I've been sipping it on the bus but mainly drinking it when I get to work and leaving it on my desk. The flask is great at keeping your Matcha hot for hours! Today I had the Turmeric Matcha, and some Oatly Barista Mylk. And yes it's dark outside, and yes it's morning!

Generally at some point of the day after lunchtime ish I'll have a black tea or another coffee. Today I had a Mocha Chai from Bird and Blend. I need a pick me up and a shot of caffeine after lunch because lunchtime for me is usually 2pm-3pm and it's a long drag before I go home at 7pm! The Mocha Chai is a nice shot of caffeine form the coffee beans, a nice creaminess from the cacao bean and a bold flavour from the Ceylon black tea.
Three of our all-time favourite beverages combined in this malty black tea blend – Chocolate, Coffee and Chai. Real chocolate drops, heaps of warming spices and whole coffee beans balance brilliantly in this Autumn chai, especially good with milk!
Ceylon black tea, cacao bean, chocolate chips (sugar, cacao, emulsifier soya lecithin), coffee beans, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, vanilla pieces, flavour.
5:00pm.
I'm usually really struggling by now. And today I'd had a really bad tummy! I suffer with IBS and can often struggle when it gets to tea time for normal people, but for me I still have a 2 hour block left at work before I can go home. Today I ended up having the Mint Humbug from my Twist Tea Tin and it was delicious. The Sweet Liquorice and Minty flavours really help settle the stomach and for some reason do give me a little bit of oomph to keep going through what is generally the hardest part of my day.
A rich and naturally sweet mint and toffee tasting infusion.
A caffeine-free blend of rooibos and mint with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners, this Pud Without Sin is a simple, guilt-free pleasure that’s particularly great after dinner.
The Twist
For an even more indulgent treat, add frothy milk to create a Mint Humbug Latte.
Ingredients
Rooibos (65%), Liquorice, Mint (15%) (Spearmint, Peppermint) Natural Flavouring.
Warning
Contains Liquorice. People suffering from hypertension should avoid excessive consumption.
9:30pm.
Finally sat down! As much as I love my job, finishing at gone 7pm and then not sitting down properly till gone 9pm is beyond crap. The day takes it out of me and I just need something simple and soothing at the end of the night. I'm really not that sensitive to caffeine so I can have a Matcha at night. I love having something sweet and creamy like Ultra Violet Matcha from Bird & Blend. It's sweet, delicious and perfection in a cup. I mix it with some hot frothed almond mylk.
One of the first floral matchas ever created. Inspired by Pantone's Colour of the Year, Ultra Violet is a nod to our often requested Palma Violet + Purple Rain teas. Classic Matcha lovers will love this. This classy and elegant matcha isn't super sweet, you can still taste the matcha with a floral hint.
Japanese matcha green tea, cardamom, lavender, natural flavouring granules.
That;s it! Don't forget to make sure you check out Kims post and tell me what you drink in a day!
So fun! <3
