A life in books and tea

Category: EusTea

I love tea and my definition of what counts as a tea-related post is pretty wide. Expect to see tea reviews, reviews of books about tea, and even posts about afternoon tea.

UniversiTEA: What is Ethical/Sustainable Tea?

October 20, 2021
What is ethical sustainable tea

Hello friends! It’s probably not surprising to you that I’ve been talking to some of my coursemates about tea. Add a class on business ethics to this and I was like “I NEED to write a post about sustainable and ethical tea.” So first question: Is there a difference between sustainable’ and ethical tea? Short… Read More UniversiTEA: What is Ethical/Sustainable Tea?

Tea Review: Special Satemwa Harvest from Rare Tea Company

October 14, 2021
Special Satemwa Harvest Rare Tea Company review

Hello tea friends! This is possibly my most anticipated tea purchase of the year, because I pre-ordered this tea all the way in May but only received it in September. What kind of tea is this? It’s a black tea from Satemwa Tea Farm. As part of the letter that came with the tea says:… Read More Tea Review: Special Satemwa Harvest from Rare Tea Company

Tea Review: Thé Marie-Antoinette by Ladurée

October 6, 2021
Thé Marie Antoinette Laduree review

Today’s review is a short little review, mostly because this is a birthday gift from my family and I want to just write down my thoughts on it so I don’t forget what I received! I received this tea plus some honey, salted caramel, and a box of macarons for my birthday! The Thé Marie-Antoinette… Read More Tea Review: Thé Marie-Antoinette by Ladurée

Tisane Review: Digestion Nature Bio by Romon Nature

September 29, 2021

Last week, I talked about what I did not manage to do on my free day. What I didn’t mention was something that I did get to do, which is to buy a new box of tisanes. I was walking through Cours Saleya from the post office (errand 1) to the ravioli shop (errand 2),… Read More Tisane Review: Digestion Nature Bio by Romon Nature

Teas I Brought to France

September 9, 2021
Teas I Brought to France

I can’t write a post on new teacups without talking about the teas that I’ve been drinking! I’ve actually got some teas on the way (it’s a pre-order from Rare Tea Company) but I thought I’d talk about the teas that I brought. In the teabag category, we have a selection of teas from Karel… Read More Teas I Brought to France

I Bought My First Teacups in France!!

September 1, 2021
First Teacups in France

Hi friends! I am so excited and happy because… I’ve bought more teacups! Which in itself isn’t a huge thing (I’ve bought so many online, after all), but these are the first teacups that I’ve bought in person from an antique market and that is a new experience for me. A friend introduced me to… Read More I Bought My First Teacups in France!!

Just tasting some 2019 Long Jing

August 24, 2021

I’ve been very good with my teaware purchases this year, and by that I mean that I’ve not bought a single teacup until earlier this month. I had a friend who was looking to let go of two cups and I liked the pattern so I bought one trio! And so, I came into possession… Read More Just tasting some 2019 Long Jing

Tea Thoughts: Tea Reviews & Changing Tastes

July 29, 2021
Tea Reviews & Changing Tastes

My sister recently moved back from the UK so I took the opportunity to ask her to help me bring back a black tea blend that I loved when I visited Stratford-upon-Avon. Looking at my original review, I called the tea “very bright, with an almost berry-ish aftertaste”, and since I brought a packet home,… Read More Tea Thoughts: Tea Reviews & Changing Tastes

Book Review: Every Day a Good Day by Noriko Morishita

July 6, 2021
Every Day a Good Day by Noriko Morishita

Despite the fact that I’m a huge fan of Japanese tea, I’ve only attended a tea once, as part of my finishing school course. With the brashness of youth, I agreed to be the 正客 (main guest) and with a lot of prompting from the teachers and guest lecturers, somehow made it through the ceremony.… Read More Book Review: Every Day a Good Day by Noriko Morishita

June 23, 2021
Tea Water Temperature

Hello friends! I am very slowly going through my tea stash, but I was inspired by one of the #TeaTogetherTuesday prompts to write this post (which is out of sync with everyone… oops!). If you’re new to tea, then the first and most important thing I think you should learn is: the right temperature you… Read More Tea 101: The Most Important Thing to Learn About Tea is Temperature
