Our Personal Favourites <3

in 2023, i got a text from my dad: ‘at doctor’s appointment today i mentioned eisa tea co. doctor said that her husband owns a tea farm in sri lanka and you should visit… something to think about.’

that week, we went together to costa coffee in swansea, my home city, to meet buddhika and try his teas. he explained that he makes wild tea from an abandoned estate near adam’s peak, and i promised that one day, i’d fly out and try it there.

then comes 2026, and i’m visiting sri lanka. my editor tells me that the one man i have to meet is the owner of @foresthilltea - buddhika. my dad’s doctor’s husband.

the next couple of days are so, so lovely. we visit the wild tea trees, buddhika helps me remove leeches (something i’d never had before), my friend and our driver join to taste teas with us, and i buy many. we watch the sunset, we share sri lankan dishes, we get caught in downpour, and we drink tea beside a waterfall.

i am almost continuously in shock that the tea world is so vast and yet so small, and that even a small post-checkup conversation in swansea can lead to exploring adam’s peak in sri lanka.

THANK YOU to forest hill tea for a wonderful visit 😌🍵

come with me to the ceylon tea museum 🇱🇰

maybe it was because of the long drive, maybe it was because i expected more, but i was a little underwhelmed. still, if you’re new to tea and passionate about ceylon tea, this could be a good place to visit 😌

a little lesson in uzbek tea culture 🍵🇺🇿

here I’m drinking green tea with Rigina Madjit in tashkent, uzbekistan. green tea, known as ko‘k choy in uzbek, is particularly popular in many parts of the country, especially here and the in east 😌

one of the lovely traditions of uzbek tea culture is the pouring ritual. after brewing the tea, the host pours a little into a bowl and returns it to the teapot, repeating this three times. this is often explained as a way of mixing the tea so the flavour and strength are more evenly distributed before serving.

tea is traditionally served in a small, handleless bowl called a piyola. rather than filling it to the brim, the host serves a smaller amount, making it both easier to hold and allowing them to offer more tea throughout the visit, as a sign of hospitality.

tea is central to uzbekistan. whether you’re visiting someone’s home, sitting in a chaikhana (teahouse) or stopping for a conversation, sharing tea is a way of welcoming people and spending time together 🫶🏻
