Dear Kindred Spirit,
It has been much too long since I last wrote and I have so much to share with you.
To start on a personal note, Matthias, Sienna and I have decided to build a rammed earth house on our piece of paradise in Gippsland, surrounded by lyrebirds, tree-ferns and mountain pepper plants. We will start in spring.
In the meantime, winter has well and truly arrived in the South. These last few weeks, more than ever I find myself curling my fingers around a steaming cup of one of my heavier blends, allowing it to warm and comfort me.

Travels in China
|
 |
These fresh mornings take me back to my travels in China earlier this year, for it was spring there, and very chilly in the mountainous Fujian province where I met with our tea farmers.
I learned the nuances of the Chinese tea service – quite different to the way it's served in Ceylon – and tasted beautiful green jasmine tea reserved for local connaisseurs only. Oh, the aroma. The jasmine scent reminded me of my favourite perfume as a young woman, Diorissimo.

Melbourne Good Food & Wine Show
|
 |
In June, my team of gorgeous girls, Matthias and I poured an ocean of tea and chatted to so many new and old kindred spirits who visited our stand at the Good Food and Wine Show in Melbourne.
It was wonderful. As always, it filled to my heart with joy to hear your lovely feedback about my blends.

And talking of The Hotel Windsor, I’m delighted to share with you that I have another elegant package to give away.
We chose the winner of our exclusive Ritchie’s Supermarkets competition last week, asking:
|

“Who is your perfect partner (besides me) to take to stay at and enjoy High Tea with at the Windsor?”
I received so many entries citing everyone from mothers, daughters, dads and best friends, to the Queen and even James Bond. The winner is Cindy Higgins of Glen Waverley, who nominated her gorgeous daughter as her perfect partner. Cindy has won a night of luxury accommodation and High Tea for two at the Hotel Windsor.
Another 50 lucky entrants have won one of our elegant High Tea Series tins containing their favourite blend…these will be mailed during the first week of July, so keep an eye out.
