SerendipiTea Will it ever stop raining giveaway
Ok ... The promise of spring was in the air but as anyone that lives in the beautiful city of Melbourne can tell you that promise can disappear quicker than my mothers sweet potato pie at family reunion time!
Just a few weeks ago I was mixing up cool cocktails at Cafe Dior in anticipation of the coming of spring and summer but still, in mid November, it's remains rainy & cold.
I am still hopeful though that one day soon we will enjoy a solid week without rain & temperatures in the high 20's - Hey...I can dream.
So... knowing as I do that in a few short weeks we will all likely be complaining about the heat and also knowing how much a tasty cool beverage can help beat the heat I am launching the inaugural ...

Anyway... leave a comment & receive "Eve's temptation to make your own tasty, cool beverages when and if the weather changes!

What can you do with tea ?
Well when you're talking about SerendipiTea we come to a very big answer ...
I am fond of saying... just about daily... that the uses of quality tea is only bounded by your own imagination!
We have had our clients use SerendipiTea in so many ways that I think it calls for a special post!
- Our friends at Cafe Dior are using Cha Cha Chai, Congo Bongo and others for cold cocktails & Mocktails, and Chef Mikey has created a fantastic Slice with everyone favorite Ruby Sipper.
- Our Friends at Esposito Seafood have created a salmon dish using a reduction of Ruby Sipper and I hear it is fabulous I'll be tasting that one personally soon ( there are no lengths I will not go to for this blog! :-) )
- Soon ( watch this space ) Cafe Moravia in Camberwell will soon be serving Iced teas, Tea Mocktails & some very special tea Gelati from their newly renovated juice bar at the back of Moravia just where they hold the Camberwell markets each Sunday ... That's handy!
- Chocolatiers have long been using our teas in their fine works ... Cha Cha Chai, Congo Bongo, Xocatlatl Chai (our award winning chocolate chai), Ruby Sipper & Black Velvet have all been used in handmade chocolates. ( there will be a special post on chocolates soon)
- One tea lover has written in and described a smoking process using Bard's tempest & another with a recipe for pork with a reduction of Eve's Temptation ( our Apple tisane )
So have fun with your tea or better yet make a visit to one of our favorite cafes and see what they're doing!
