Early afternoon in a café in Surry Hills Sydney, I've had my quota of coffee for the day so I ordered a lemon and ginger tea. A pot was delivered to the table and we continue our conversation. It wasn't until I've had three or four mouthfuls that it occurred to me that this was not the normal tasting lemon and ginger tea that comes with a teabag. Curious, I opened the lid and as you can see it was chockablock full of real ginger chunks and lemon pieces. I've now been back to this café five or six times for a cup of tea. Most cafés when you order a tea, give you a teabag, hot water and a pot. That's the expectation, that's the norm, the construct. It's only the few who will go the extra mile to give you something that is fresh, full of flavour, takes a little more effort, but it's so much more satisfying and creates a small point of difference in the endless sea of cafés in the surrounding streets.
