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.
This is the third and final tea in the ‘Aged Wakoucha’ trio that I got from The Tea Crane! It’s been a very enjoyable first box, and although these teas seem really different (drinking them individually), I’m going to see if I have time this weekend to do a comparison of the three and see… Read More Tea Review: Benihomare Aged Wakoucha by The Tea Crane
This is the second of the three wakoucha that I’m planning to drink and compare (while I ignore an unopened box of tea) and it’s actually the one that intrigued me the most! This tea is made from the same cultivar as the amazingly floral Yame Organic Benifuki Wakoucha that I recently drank and loved,… Read More Tea Review: Benifuki Aged Wakoucha by The Tea Crane
I’m finally at my last packet of Bird & Blent Tea blends! If I’m not wrong, once I’m done with this (and Honeycomb Cookie Doh – I’ve really not touched it since I reviewed it), I only have the Tea 101 box that’s not been opened. Here’s the description from the packet: Get bobbing for… Read More Tea Review: Apple Cider Bobbing by Bird and Blend Tea Co
Yes, I still have Japanese teas to open and review! This is a wakoucha (Japanese black tea) made from a cultivar that’s said to be suited to black teas and which that has been aged. Sounds exciting, right? I’m especially excited because the first wakoucha I had from The Tea Crane was amazing. Here’s a… Read More Tea Review: Benihikari Aged Wakoucha from The Tea Crane
I have not mentioned this before but I’m pretty sure the Honeycomb Cookie Doh is one of the reasons why I bought the Autumn sampler set!! Because I loooove cookies! The product page is no more, which means I can’t really introduce the blend, so let’s jump straight into the review First Impressions The dry… Read More Tea Review: Honeycomb Cookie Doh by Bird and Blend Tea
I hope you are enjoying this series of tea reviews where I alternate between a flavoured tea and a straight tea because I am definitely enjoying them! I’m getting a lot of variety in my tea and that makes me happy. So today’s tea is another one of the samples that I received from The… Read More Tea Review: Kumamoto Densho Kamairicha by The Tea Crane
I am making good progress through the Autumn Sampler pack that I got from Bird & Blend (between this and the Tea Crane samples I got, I am seriously falling in love with tea samples – such a good way to have a variety of tea!) and I opened this! Eton Mess is one of… Read More Tea Review: Eton Mess from Bird and Blend Tea Co.
I’ve generally been slowly and quietly drinking the teas in Lupicia’s Book of Tea, but I could not resist talking about this one. The English name is Sencha Fuji, but the Japanese name is 富士 香駿 (Fuji Koshun). Apparently, the 香駿/Koshun cultivar is a relatively rare cultivar, so I decided to dig around and see… Read More Introducing: Koshun (香駿) Cultivar
I’m always excited to try wakoucha (Japanese black teas) because they tend to be very unique. But I wasn’t prepared for the experience this tea gave me. But before I begin, here’s the description of the tea from The Tea Crane: Spring harvest Japanese ‘Wakōcha’ black tea from the Benifuki cultivar.Growing at an altitude of… Read More Tea Review: Yame Organic Benifuki Wakoucha by The Tea Crane
I recently checked my “Tea Book” tag and I realised that I have 35 posts in this tag! Even if you assume that some books have two posts (which is pretty rare), it still implies that I read a lot of tea books. So I thought it would be fun to do a post about… Read More Which Tea Book Should You Read?
