tea
I love tea. It’s a magic brew, able to adapt to any occasion. But the equipment needed isn’t always as flexible as the brew itself. It’s hard to carry a proper tea pot around (much though I’d love to.) Of course, you can always dunk a tea bag in a cup, but somehow that’s just not the same as properly steeped, loose leaf tea. You tea lovers out there will know what I mean.

Gertrude Street
Enoteca
Fitzroy
Synesso

While passing through Fitzroy on a sunny afternoon this week, I dropped in to Gertrude St Enoteca not really knowing what to expect. I’ve heard some great reviews and having walked past it previously and quickly glanced in, I picked up a few hints of what they were all about. I saw a Synesso, an amazing library of wine stacked around the building and some diners in cheerful conversation eating what looked like delicious food. I thought maybe it was a wine bar/café with a kitchen. Well, as it turns out that’s exactly what it is — but that’s not all it is.

Coffee farm
attikan estate
I take the short flight from Hyderabad to Bangalore, spend one night there and then leave early in the morning for Attikan Estate. It’s not necessarily that far away, it’s just that even on a Sunday morning the roads are packed with bull carts, tuk tuks, bicycles, motorbikes, honking trucks — and us. India has a lot of people and that is part of its allure.

Perth
Venn
Where can you shop for design-orientated gifts and home wares, view the latest art showcased by Australian artists and have a world-class coffee all at the same time? Answer: Venn Bar & Café in the Perth CBD. But that’s just the tip of this enjoyable, multi-tasking iceberg. You can also grab a French-inspired meal by the young and talented Tony Townley, down a cocktail made with local spirits or stargaze and/or people watch from the second floor outdoor patio and lounge.

At the time I was putting together this little piece for Home Barista, Standing Room Only was not even open, but it was already making news. I showed up the Friday morning before opening Monday and a nice chap from The West Australian was in the shop photographing Michael Munroe making a syphon.
