Tea with a 'rock star'


I was recently invited by Lipton to attend a special tea tasting event with their Tea Master Kuranush Bharucha - a total rock star by tea sommelier standards! I mean we're talking a about a guy who's not only found a way to make a living tasting tea - up to 1,000 cups a day! - but who's been doing it for the last twenty-eight years of his life at Lipton.

The event, part of the Masterchef Dining & Bar pop-up over at Circular Quay, featured Bharucha's tea wisdom and Lipton's new Pyramid tea bag range paired with some memorable Masterchef desserts like Vegemite caramel chocolate cups (surprisingly yummy!). Hey, anyone that's brave enough to pair Vegemite-inspired sweets with tea is a winner in my book. I've even been caught out recently using a Lipton Pyramid tea bag on hectic mornings before work...enough said!
