Thing of The Week

Last year, in an effort to broaden my horizons and Try New Things, I spent several months on a Cheese of the Week project (until the local cheese deli ran out of new cheeses for me to try), followed by a Wine of the Week project, in which I thoroughly enjoyed trying a different bottle of plonk each week from a region I was unfamiliar with.

I am now trying the Tea of the Week project; this week I am trying the new taste sensation which is Twinings Lemon and Ginger tea, It smells nicer than it tastes to be honest, as it's a bit weak and watery even after leaving it to infuse for five minutes.

Please (a) recommend to me other types of tea which I could try in subsequent weeks, as maybe say what you like about them so much, and (b) maybe suggest other Things Of The Week which I might try over the coming months.

i'm having a pretty huge vanilla tea fad at the moment. it's a black tea with vanilla in it. not too sweet, but a refreshing flavour. joy!

i like your thing of the week idea, that's very cool. in a way i've doing the same thing since new year... i pick out and make a recipe that i've never made before each week. trying to get some use out of my enormous pile of cookbooks that i don't open terribly often. you could do this... or even just try a recipe which uses a new vegetable/fruit you haven't eaten before each week?

Cheese of the week is a brilliant idea, I might copy you.

cj, stick a spoonful of honey in the lemon and ginger one and it really brings the ginger out.

twinings decaffeinated earl grey is amazing. i drink about 5 cups every day.

Misread this as Thong of the Week, so perhaps CJ could do that too.

Twinings makes wank lemon/ginger tea. I prefer Yogi Tea's ginger tea, with some lemon thrown in if you feel like it (which I usually don't... ginger is great on its own)

yeah i did a wank of the week once but i've got to say i've never wanked into a lemon/ginger tea.
