A tasting at Sofitel's No 35

Last Saturday on a clear and sunny day I had the pleasure of talking with a handful of people about 7 varieties of SerendipiTea.
The venue was the beautiful restaurant on the 35th floor of Melbourne's Sofitel Hotel, with it's panoramic views of the city.
Know, I love talking about tea.
It's even better when I get to speak with a group that was so interested as the staff of No. 35!
It's even better still when a tasting is involved!
We tasted :
  • Black Velvet
  • Darjeeling
  • Congo Bongo
  • Temple Of Heaven
  • Bancha
  • Jade Prince
  • Moulin Rouge Chai
Truth be told the group so switched on that their taste told them all they needed to know ... no one had a problem picking out the smokey undertones of the Moulin Rouge, or the "nutty" flavor of Jade Prince or the mango & coconut of Congo Bongo.
It was a fantastic afternoon filled with tea & conversation and what could be better than that.
