Tlicious, South Bank

Last weekend I had the pleasure of visiting two cafes for the first time - Tlicious and My Sweetopia - with a lovely group of girls from church.

It was only recently that I discovered a love for flavoured green teas, so I was super excited when we arrived at Tlicious and browsed the huge range of options. It was a hot day, so it was great to know that the entire range could be ordered as iced tea. I ordered iced vanilla white tea ('Vanilla Pearls') with one sugar for $4.

Within 5 to 10 minutes all of our orders were ready (about 8 drinks). I took a few sips, fell in love, complemented the owners of the store, and then purchased a packet of the same tea to take home ($3.50). It was so delicious and perfect for a hot day, although I could easily drink it everyday!

I highly recommend Tlicious, I will be back (very soon hopefully).

Tetley Decaf Green Tea Range

Decaffeinated naturally & rich in antioxidants

I've never been a fan of tea - especially not green tea - but I have discovered this new range from Tetley that I absolutely love! The range includes plain decaf green tea, decaf green tea with mint and decaf green tea with pomegranate. The mint and pomegranate flavours soften the bitterness of the green tea, without overpowering the taste. Mint is my favourite!

Ingredients are:
Decaf Green Tea – Naturally decaffeinated pure green tea.
Decaf Mint Green Tea – Naturally decaffeinated pure green tea, natural mint flavour (12%).
Decaf Pomegranate Green Tea- Naturally decaffeinated pure green tea, natural pomegranate flavour (15%).

These are actually the only decaf green teas on the market in Australia, so they're certainly worth a try if you're looking to decrease your caffeine intake. If you're interested in the health benefits of caffeine (for weight loss) however, I would recommend Lipton Green Tea with Vanilla or Mint.

Pick up 10 teabags for $1.75 at most supermarkets.
