So, you've just spent your early morning (or late night hours if you're like me) burning calories exercising  at the Gym (or if like me, a brisk walk around the burbs!)? Go ahead, treat yourself to an Organic Whole Leaf Peppermint Tea infusion post workout refreshment. Whole Leaf Peppermint tea is a great muscle relaxing tea to enjoy after exercise and produced from high quality cut peppermint leaves with absolutely no additives or oils. The flavour from this Peppermint tea can be described as earthy with a sweet infusion and strong aromatics. There is no mistaking the valuable base element aromatic properties of methanol in Peppermint Tea!

Some of the health benefits we can experience drinking Peppermint Tea include improved digestion, reduced pain & inflammation, assists with bad breath, aids in weight loss, boosts the immune system & most importantly relaxes the mind, body & soul.

Yay! its Friday and the end of the working week for most. Does that change your preference for tea or coffee? Do you find by Friday you are adding an extra shot to your morning coffee run for that pick me up you need to get through the remainder of the day? While some of us definitely add an extra shot or switch from our usual latte to a flat white, the alternative is also worth considering. 

Why not try switching to Tea? The perfect Organic Lemongrass and Ginger Tea. This tea is a stimulating herbal infusion with sweet citrus and bright lively flavours. Our classic lemongrass & ginger mix brews a deep citrus liquor with pleasant earthiness, honeysuckle and ginger notes.​ This tea has a strong ability to calm your soul so you can make it through the remainder of this Friday and give you a feeling of relaxation, ready for the weekend. You will not be disappointed with the additional benefits of the aromatic quality. 

We are pretty lucky in Australia - we have wonderful weather almost all year round, a healthy economy and its populated with some of the most caring and friendliest people I could hope for. The photo above is by me, on a recent trip to Bon Beach just over half an hour from the Melbourne CBD - pretty lucky if you ask me!

​But, that's enough about me, this is about tea and where to find the best tea online in Australia. Again, we have great opportunity and choice with teas that can be delivered in this beautiful country. There are quality tea companies such as T2, Dilmah Tea, Elm Stock Tea, Tea Drop, Lupicia, Art of Tea, and of course BuyTea.com.au - so what makes each different to the previous? Well, I'd say you're in pretty good hands with whichever Australian business you decide to trust with handling your quality tea, however I can promise that I will do whatever is required to ensure you are more than impressed with the service you receive, along with your quality tea.

​I'm fortunate enough to have been operating successful eCommerce businesses for over ten years in Australia,  which has shown me a lot in the areas of logistics, packaging, quality and online security.  You've got the benefit of dealing with a person, not a business. I provide my personal mobile phone and email address on the contact page, and I am very quick to respond, any time of the day or night, because I appreciate that while I do everything I can to ensure your tea is delivered fast and in a professional manner, sometimes things do go wrong beyond our control. When that happens, I like to be there the entire time to make it right and use that as an opportunity to go above and beyond. You might think that is a lot of commitment just for tea, but there are some things I am just overly passionate about and thankful for.

In the past I would have thought the Tea Cozy was a terrible eyesore. Something grandma would have at her house and serve a cup of tea from the teapot with a cozy. But I've recently changed my mind and find the tea Cozy to be quite hip and possibly vintage sheek. Get knitting ladies it's the next craze. Check out some of the trends.
