The Limerick Tea Experience

Hi guys! I know it’s been quite some time since you heard from me, but my life has been a wee bit crazy:
- I spent Christmas in Spain (I did the Frutti di Bosco post from there!)…
- I moved to Limerick, Ireland for the semester which meant finding an apartment, moving in, starting classes…
- My father died after a long illness…
Get why it’s been awhile since I’ve written?
But as of right now I am sitting on the sofa, with the gray rainy day outside sipping peppermint tea because I have a tummy ache and trying to be productive.
I’m not going to review a particular tea for you today (sorry!). Rather, consider this an introduction to what you can expect over the next three months.
First off, Lyon’s Tea, an Irish Black Tea brand, has some of the best commercials. And it’s a solid plain black tea.
Secondly, Limerick has a lot of cafes. I plan on getting to all of them. So far I’ve had a cappucino at Aroma’s and Rose Hip tea at French’s. (Which by the way, I’d forgotten how refreshing and smooth rose hip tea can be! If you have a favorite brand of it in the States, let me know in the comments…I need to find some when I get back!)
So, over the next few weeks I’ll be reviewing not just a tea, but a cafe as well! So, you know, the next time you’re in Limerick you’ll know where to go! Also so I can figure out what draws me to particular places.
Best,
Mari
