Goei Goesting - Hasselt

It seems like it's been ages since I've had a cup of tea made for me, and not just gone and boiled the kettle at home or work...But today, we went out for breakfast with the in-laws, and I managed to get a couple of cuppas at the lovely Goei Goesting in Hasselt.

It's one of our favourite restaurants, though a tad on the pricey side. When we do go, it's normally for supper, as you can get 'mini' versions of regular meals, of which you must choose at least two, and it's lovely.
A bit like tapas Belgian style - steak tartaar and friets, scottish salmon, garnalkroket... just always delicious!

So today, we went out for breakfast -

I've had tea at the Goei Goesting before, but not their English Breakfast; I've gone for their infusions (Chamomile and Linden) as those are better for after dinner, and not going to keep me up all night. 

One surprising thing I found about the English Breakfast tea they serve is that it is a mix of black tea and lychee. And once you've had a sip, you do notice the lychee. It's not unpleasant, just a tad surprising. And if you like a stronger black tea flavour in the morning, it can be rather odd to have it suddenly taste fruity. 

Otherwise the water was a good temperature and the tea didn't take long to infuse. The mug's handle was a tad awkward to hold, so you do need to let it cool a bit first, as you can't (well, I couldn't) fit your finger through the loop to pick up the mug easily. 

It didn't come with anything, but I think as it was part of the 'grote ontbijt' (big breakfast), it didn't really need to come with a biscuit or chocolate, as we had a basket of breads and things instead.
