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.
Can you guess what this bag is? (If you said “rubbish”, it’s not technically wrong) So last week, I was a little panicked because I wanted to open some new teas, but I realised that I still had a lot of opened teas. In a perfect world, I would finish one tea before opening another… Read More One Week Sip-Down
I’m back with another review of a tea from Satemwa Tea, and then I think I’ll be going back to Japanese tea (and whatever is in the second month of my Tea Crane subscription because I have not touched that). First Impressions The Thyolo Moto Guava OP1 is a black tea smoked with guava leaves,… Read More Tea Review: Thyolo Moto (Guava OP1) by Satemwa Tea Estate
Since I had three wakoucha (Japanese black teas) from The Tea Crane around AND I was still thinking about Toucha (having translated two toucha sessions), I thought it would be fun to combine the two! The video embedded is pretty much all I planned (although I did not plan to show everyone my messy kitchen)… Read More Trying a Wakoucha Toucha
So, this is a bit embarrassing but turns out I have more teas to review! I thought I had finished most of the new-to-me Japanese teas and could start on my Karel Capek order, but I had completely forgotten about these teas from Satemwa! A while back, I got in contact with them to see… Read More Tea Review: Malawi Green Oolong from Satemwa Tea Estate
I have reached a new level in my tea journey – people are asking me about tea books! Honestly, I’m really happy about this development because I love tea and reading so this is both my interests combined. And when my friend asked me if I had read The True History of Tea and what… Read More Book Review: The True History of Tea by Victor H Mair and Erling Hoh
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
