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.
I’m fairly hopeful that the season of regular-ish tea reviews is back because I’ve received quite a bit of tea in the last two weeks and I’m really excited to make my way through them! Today, I’m doing a review of Nepal Mystic, which was given to me by Warren! I’m always excited for teas… Read More Tea Review: Nepal Mystic by TeaHaus
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?
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
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
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
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
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!!
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
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
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
