Soho Spice from Yumchaa

When I want to relax and have a quiet tea out of the house I like to go to Yumchaa on Parkway. The atmosphere is just right for sitting and sipping with a book or notepad.

Tea Wall
I really like that they have all the teas out so you can give them a sniff before trying. And their tea wall!

Last time I was there I tried there Soho Spice blend. They describe it as follows: "A spicy and citrusy black tea blend"

Ingredients: Keemun black tea, cloves, almond pieces, orange peel, marigold blossoms, cornflowers, flavouring

Dry Leaf: black curly leaf dotted with blue cornflower. Nice spicy smell.

Liquor: clear orange colour with a hint of light brown. Lovely orange scent with spicy notes of cloves and cinnamon. Reminds me of Christmas punch or mulled wine.

The taste is fresh and bright with a marmalade finish. I quite like it and can definitely see why Yumchaa consider it a winter warmer.
