​I HAVE DISCOVERED RECENTLY SOMETHING SO LOVELY AND SO DIFFERENT I CAN NOT WAIT TO SHARE IT WITH ALL OUR READERS...
Lei Cha teas www.leicha.com.au
Lei Cha is Ground Tea - the company talks about its teas...
So what is Lei Cha you ask?
Pronounced “Lay Cha” it is directly translated from Mandarin Chinese to the English words “Ground Tea” And that is exactly what it is, somewhat similar to Matcha Green Tea, yet with far more health boosting ingredients.Lei Cha is made by roasting, grinding and blending different mixtures of the best green tea from Taiwan, health-giving herbs, spices, nuts, seeds, whole grains and veggies. There are 12 varieties each with their own wellness properties and wholesome flavours. All you have to do is add two tablespoons to your favourite mug and add hot water for a fulfilling nutritious drink.
I first came across Lei Cha in Taiwan on a holiday with my family.We had traveled to a quiet little country town with a bustling market place offering all types of local food and crafts.
It was here that I first tasted the Green Tea Blend known as Mindful Green. It was delicious, it was filling and as I later discovered not only very healthy but steeped in a long tradition of use passed down through many generations. The Chinese are famous for their traditional herbal medicines and this is where I found Lei Cha to be unique in terms of wellness properties and flavour. Chinese medicines had always conjured thoughts of strange tasting concoctions with undesirable flavours but Lei Cha combines simple ingredients in balanced quantities to produce great tasting health boosting drinks.
Traditionally Lei Cha ingredients were roasted over fire, cooled and then ground with a mortar and pestle. Nowadays with innovation and technology we can roast the grains to exact temperatures and grind to a consistency which not only increases the bio-availability of the ingredients but creates unique flavors like nothing else available. If you are interested in supporting your health while relaxing with a great tasting cup of tea then visit us as www.leicha.com.au to find out how Lei Cha can help you.
I will be reviewing 10 tea varieties give to the Bohemian Rhapsody Weekly Magazine for review... please stay tuned...

​Taprobane Tea
SPRING
High Grown Black Tea (September) 
this is a Sri Lankan high land regions tea, all hand picked. it has a pure mountain-like fragrance to surprise the most sophisticated and spoiled tea-epicureans

Green Tea with Blueberries (October) 
this tea i a real lavish, berry treat with some chunky tender and juicy blueberries in their best blended gently with the luxurious green tea leaves. when you drink this tea you will have a real organic experience of your life time!

​MY PERSONAL CHOICE - APPLE AND CINNAMON (November)
that is my favorite personal choice that I take from all the seasons... I have no idea why: it reminds me of my childhood and my mum making me the apple and cinnamon pie - charlottka which was always the little house celebration of the family brought together by the freshness of fruit and home baking magic ritual.
The overall impression from all Taprobane teas: I really valued the high quality of the brand and historically a tendency to love fruit infused teas with beautiful pictures on the packages however the traditional green and black teas are as well amazingly delicious. I also loved the idea of having a wild animal as a totem for the logo of this company: cheetah which associates in our minds with vitality, speed, heath and the most energetic animal in the animal kingdom. The more tea you drink the faster you go - up to 121 km/h

Taprobane Tea
WINTER
Green Tea with Ginger (June) 
this is a green tea with pungently spicy ginger notes. this unique combination is a delight sweet, fresh and warm.

High Grown Green Tea (July) 
this is a true Sri Lankan beauty with its light, pleasantly reinvigorating flavours.

​Green Tea with Mint (August)
this tea is truly revitalizing with a soft minty notes that is just telling you a little secret with each sip recharging your immune system
I am so falling in love with these teas...

​Taprobane Tea
AUTUMN
Green Tea with Pomegranate (March) 
this tea is a mysterious Eastern and Mediterranean blend that will take you travelling in your dreams to the most exotic countries and regions on Earth. The flavour is not very strong as I would expected. It is rather mild and pleasant. It was a great idea to make it not with black but with green tea leaves. I believe the black tea would overpower the pomegranate delicate fusion.

Black Tea with Mango (April) 
there is no person on the planet Earth who would not love sugary mangoes. this tea is amazing: its striking taste sensation would not leave you unsatisfied and will guarantee a paradise in your mouth. it is smooth, sweet but not over-treacly. It matches amazingly well with the aromatic black tea combination.

​Green Tea with Citrus (May)
citrus always goes perfectly well with any tea. This tea is spicy in its own way and goes well with green fusion. the taste contains mandarin, orange and lemon with a balanced and original feel on your tongue. you will enjoy it as I did

Taprobane Tea
SUMMER
Black Tea with Apple and Cinnamon (December) 
this is a natural and distinctive blend of premium Ceylon black tea with flavorful apple pieces mixed with aromatic woody taste of cinnamon from the fields and meadows of Sri Lanka. It smells an tastes like a real sweet and delicious cinnamon and apple pie.

Black Tea with Rose Petals (January) 
this is your passionate amorous tea, a sensational blend of Ceylon black tea with tender and gently fragrant rose petals. The tea to fall in love with that will be a perfect gift for your loved ones.

​Black Tea with Berries (February)
this tea is a mix of a premium Ceylon black tea with sweetest cherries, fresh farm tasty strawberries and juicy blueberries. the tea taste is superlative

At the Taprobane Tea Company our most important aspiration is to bring premium quality tea to the tea cups of all Australians. Our motto is “A Smile With Every Sip!” To achieve this aspiration we select only premium quality, high grown Ceylon teas. The tea leaves in our products are collected by hand from tea gardens located at the highest elevations in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon). Typically, skilled workers pick only the freshest growth – the top two young leaves and a bud. This careful hand-picking of the leaves is one of the reasons that Ceylon tea is of such high quality. Within a few hours of plucking the fresh tea leaves are processed at tea factories on site. Within a very short time, twenty-four hours at most, the tea is ready for drinking.
Our premium quality black tea and green tea are certified 100% pure Ceylon Tea by the Ceylon Tea Board and so our products carry the Lion Symbol of quality. We also have a range of delectable flavoured black and green teas for you to enjoy. Tea is the most widely drunk beverage in the world. Over one and a half billion cups of tea are consumed every day. The “tea drinker… with tea amuses the evening, with tea solaces the midnight, and with tea welcomes the morning.” (~Samuel Johnson)
Tea, whether it is black tea or green tea, is a health-full beverage that is both calorie-free and fat-free and is low in sodium. It also contains calcium, folic acid and the vitamins B1, B2 and B3. Tea is naturally rich in anti-oxidants so you can be sure that when you drink our tea you are consuming a health-full beverage rich with the most wonderful aromas and flavours. All of our black tea and green tea products can be enjoyed steaming hot or chilled with ice. We do hope you enjoy them.
At Taprobane Tea Company we insist on the highest quality. With this in mind we carefully selected one of the very best blending and processing facilities in Sri Lanka to prepare our products. In a joint venture project with one of the largest importers of tea to Japan, our supplier built a state-of-the-art tea cleaning, blending and processing plant. They have standards of the highest quality and have certification from the following1: National Association for Sustainable Agriculture Australia; Internal Organization for Standardization for Quality Management and Food Safety Management; Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points; Food Safety System; and Good Manufacturing Practices.
The management of the blending and processing facility has also incorporated stringent measures to ensure employee safety. In addition, it is an equal opportunity employer and its remuneration packages are well above industry standards.
The impressive tea processing equipment at the plant consists of a dust containment unit, which extracts excess dust particles to give a clean, uniform tea blend; magnet units and metal detection units to remove any metallic particles from the tea; a sifter and vibration unit which removes any impurities from tea and; lastly, a blending drum which thoroughly mixes tea to obtain a uniform blend. The plant has a specially designed and scientifically equipped facility for quality control and for tasting and analysing all teas. The blends of teas are carefully selected by expert tea tasters who take careful note of such factors as leaf appearance, colour, aroma and strength of brew.
Lastly, tea bags are manufactured on sophisticated machinery that produces Double Chamber tea bags with a String and Tag. Note that metal staples are not used to attach the string and tags to the tea bags. Double Chamber tea bags produce a faster and more even brew of tea than the traditional single chamber tea bags. All of this means that Taprobane Tea Company products are carefully chosen and hygienically processed so that our customers receive premium quality black, green and flavoured teas1.
All thanks to our friends at Tabrobane Tea and Modern Currency we have the range of 11 teas to review and comment. We decided to make it very special - the same way these teas are.
