Starting as a hobby in 2010, the Loose Lips Tea Co is the creative brainchild of Melbourne-based tea artisan, Cherri. Today The Loose Lips Tea Co has experimented with over 70 tea blends to create the unique and unconventional Gourmet Specialiteas and Simpliciteas ranges. All tea blend are hand-blended and hand-packaged from start to finish, using only organic and certified organic ingredients all encased in BPA free, recyclable, Melbourne-made packaging.
I 've put a couple of blends to the test, including The Loose Lips Tea Co Rose Blossom Tea from the SimpliciTeas range. This Rose Blossom Tea is blended with nothing but organic rose buds and petals, and it is soooo pretty, it looks like a potpourri, and I may just pinch a small handful and use it as that, as it is just too pretty and smell too divine not to!
But as a tea, it makes the most gorgeous pink tinged tea, that smells as beautiful as it tastes too. Personally I prefer to drink it 'black' without milk or sugar, but that is just my personal preference. Its a great afternoon tea on a cold day, and it'll quickly make you daydream of sitting in the middle of a rose garden. I can also imagine that it will be gorgeous as an ice-tea on a hot summers day.
I also put The Loose Lips Tea Co Luscious Lemonmint, also from the SimpliciTeas range. This blend is made with organic lemongrass and pure peppermint, and for me, it is the perfect refreshing tea to drink in the morning, or when my tummy is feeling a little irritated, as I know for a fact that peppermint is good at soothing tummy upsets. Peppermint tea is my all-time favourite tea that I will never tire off, and this new blend with lemongrass makes for a refreshing and uplifting change.
Both teas are very concentrated, and you honestly only need to use the tiniest amount, The Loose Lips Tea Co recommends using a heaped teaspoon in a teapot, so a bag will seriously last you forever!! If I am just after a single cup, I love using the Silicone Tea Infuser, which holds just the perfect amount of tea for a mug. And when you're done, you can put it safely onto the little included silicone saucer. It comes in a range of gorgeous bright colours, including this bright lime green.
But even if those teas are not for you, there are heaps other in The Loose Lips Tea Co range, including blends such as various types of Chai teas, as well as Aussie Bush Tea, Raspberry Mint and Rose Blossom Tea, Buddha Tears and heaps of other speciality teas.
When I'm on the go, the My Tea Bottle Infuser is, which is such a great idea. This glass bottle comes with an internal tea infuser which infuses the tea from the bottom of the bottle. This infuser can be removed, so once your tea has infused for long enough, you can simply screw on the lid tightly in one end, flip the bottle and unscrew the infuser in the other end to remove the tea leaves, before putting the bottom lid back on. It also comes with a thermal sleeve, to help you keep your tea warm for up to two hours, and of course protect your hands too.
And the clever design means you can also drink straight from the bottle, if you like. It holds 550ml of tea, just enough for two decent cups of tea, and it BPA free and also safe to pop into the dishwasher.
All in all these teas are really lovely, and truly of such high quality and with such lovely taste, so if you're a tea drinker and looking for a new quality tea, be sure to go check these out, you'll absolutely love them!!
