Earl Grey Just Got Better

By Changmoh • Friday, 18 January 2013 • Brit Stuff, Food & Drink, Travel

I know. It seems impossible that perfection could be improved upon but Earl Grey tea as I know it has just got better.

Regular Changmoh readers will probably have noticed by now that I am something of an Earl Grey fan and whilst we were back in Blighty I found a whole new tea experience to get excited about: Teapigs.

What’s so special about it? To quote the amusingly worded back of the packet: “Most Earl Greys use poor quality China base tea, which is like palming yourself off as landed gentry when all you own is a Barbour jacket.”

Good old Teapigs don’t call their tea bags bags, no, no – goodness – far to ‘Tetleys’. No, they are temples and they contain whole leaf tea, don’t you know (darjeeling from the foothills of the Himalayas with bergamot citrus from sunny southern Italy).

Best drunk without milk and with a slice of lemon…but I can’t quite make that leap. I like to think my old Barbour will last out a few more years before people realise that I don’t own much in the way of land.

      I bought mine from Waitrose when I was over in the UK, but I’ve just looked properly at their site and they’ll ship internationally: http://www.teapigs.co.uk/customer/pages/delivery xx

The Chinese Angmoh

The Chinese Angmoh
Why the strange name? Changmoh is an amalgamation of the words Chinese & 'Angmoh' (local speak for Caucasian should you be reading this in a country other than SG) // I'm an English girl living in Singapore and love the local way of life so much that I actually think I’m half Chinese. Maybe even three-quarters // Freelancer writer, author and editor ... you read it here first.
