Tea experts list some best brews for a rainy day

Antonia Achache Owner Suzette Creperie amp Cafe I RECOMMEND It depends on what you would like to have For example if you want to forget about the dreary weather outside then I would recommend the Vert Provence which is a flowery and light sort of tea It will counterbalance the weather outside On the other hand the French Breakfast tea is black tea Itrsquos got a chocolatey and spicy taste and is very wholesome The sort of tea you would want to sip sitting next to a fireplace with the rains outside Both these teas are from the brand Mariage Freres which is the oldest tea house in France Antonia Achache warms up with a hot cup of French Breakfast Tea at Suzette even u00a0as it pours outside PicsMadeeha Attari BREW IT RIGHT These teas are very strong in flavour so just infusing them in hot water for five minutes is enough You can add a little milk and sugar to the French Breakfast tea if you wish BEST TIME You can have these teas throughout the day The French Breakfast tea goes well in the afternoon with some chocolate crepes The teas are available only at Suzette Creperie amp Cafeacute at St John Street Pali Naka Bandra West and at Atlanta Building Nariman Point Radhika Batra

romantic affair awakening your senses yet soothing with the familiar almond aftertaste The Evening Comfort is a tisane ndash an infusion of peppermint leaves ginger root and lemon peel A beautiful infusion to tease the senses a cup of Evening Comfort is both soothing and relaxing BREW IT RIGHT For the Kashmiri Green Chai pour near boiling fresh water over one full teaspoon of loose leaf
