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.
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
I first heard about this book when Nicole at Tea for Me Please wrote a review on it. Since scholarly works don’t scare me, I decided to download the free ebook and give it a go. Cultivating Femininity makes the case that women have been involved in the tea ceremony as far back as Edo-period… Read More Tea Book Review: Cultivating Femininity by Rebecca Corbett
We’re in Christmas week!!! Honestly, I can’t believe it – it feels way too fast. Where did my December go? I’m really going to have to rush if I want to make one more pre-Christmas panettone (and try to get the texture right). The 1872 Clipper Tea Co.’s Advent Calendar Since I’m done with the… Read More Tea’s the Season: Week 4
I saw this in the NLB and was very intrigued because I wanted to know what kind of illustrations were inside. And also because I’ve never read The Classic of Tea (茶经) and really need to remedy that. This modern reader was great because it provided both a translation and a commentary on The Classic… Read More Tea Book Review: An Illustrated Modern Reader of The Classic of Tea by Wu Juenong
I cannot believe that we’re in Week 3 of Advent AND I’ve finished one calendar. It feels like the time is going by way too fast, but on the bright side, I see COVID-19 vaccinations being approved – hopefully that helps the global pandemic. I’ll not waffle on about the state of the world because… Read More Tea’s The Season: Week 3
