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’ve actually been pretty good with finishing my tea blends so I decided that I can open two new packets this week! This first one is from Bird and Blend Tea Co. and it’s part of their Autumn Sampler Pack. I really like the 20g package because it’s relatively easy to finish but I still… Read More Tea Review: Violet Cream by Bird and Blend Tea Co.
I think I’m getting better at finishing opened teas before starting new ones because I finished the Jun Chiyabari Oolong and the Tea & Toast blend before opening this. The Nara Native Mountain-grown Sencha is one of the teas from The Tea Crane, run by Tyas Sosen (who also wrote The Story of Japanese Tea),… Read More Tea Review: Nara Native Mountain-grown Sencha from The Tea Crane
I got this (and a few tea samples) as part of The Tea Crane Kickstarter and was super excited to dive into it! For context, I read this after finishing the third report for the Japanese Tea Instructor course, so I was already in the frame of mind where I wanted to learn more about… Read More Tea Book Review: The Story of Japanese Tea by Tyas Sosen
I have been dealing with some stomach problems, which means that I haven’t been able to drink as much tea as I’d like. So, looking at my teacups is a substitute (of sorts) and got me to actually work on this post instead of sighing at the thought of how much I’ve purchased. I hope… Read More 2021 Teacup Collection Update (Part 2)
So I’ve been putting this post off because I know that I bought quite a few teacups in 2021 and didn’t want to face the consequences of my impulsive buying habits. Even the thought of tackling all the new teacups at one go was too much, so I thought I’d split the post into two… Read More 2021 Teacup Collection Update (Part 1)
Since I have a few Afternoon Tea reviews in this blog, I thought I’d make a master post of ALL the afternoon teas that I’ve tried in Singapore so that it’s easier to compare them/I can send this post to people who ask me which I preferred. This post will be periodically updated, so please… Read More A Roundup of Afternoon Teas in Singapore
I thought it’d take some time before I can open a new tea, but I managed to finish the Santomi Black tea! One tea out, one tea in, so I decided to open Tea & Toast, a very intriguingly named tea from Bird & Blend Tea Co. This was part of the Autumn Sampler Pack… Read More Tea Review: Tea & Toast by Bird and Blend Tea Co.
Late last year (well actually it was just over a week ago), Ethel and I went to try the Premium Magical Afternoon Tea at Anti:Dote! I’ve heard a lot of good things about anti:dote so I was really excited about this. Food Review The amuse boche was probably the strongest part of the savouries so I… Read More Premium Magical Afternoon Tea @ Anti:Dote (Fairmont Singapore)
I am a simple person. I see a book about tea, I read the book about tea. Even if it’s so academic I feel like giving up. When I started Tea War, I was quite happy to find mentions of Wu Juenong, whose book An Illustrated Modern Reader of The Classic of Tea I read… Read More Tea Book Review: Tea War by Andrew B. Liu
We’ve covered podcast, we’ve covered books, now it’s time for tea! This post will be in three parts – my favourite posts, my favourite teas this year, and the last sipdown update of the year. As you probably know, I started really getting into teacups last year, but this post won’t have a teacup update… Read More 2020 Year in Review: Tea
