A life in books and tea

Category: EusTea

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.

Tea Review: Georgia Manna Black Tea from What Cha

December 9, 2020
Georgia Manna Black Tea What Cha

We’re continuing the Georgia tea reviews with my second Georgian tea from What Cha! I think this finishes up most of the What Cha haul (except for the mystery tea) and I’ll probably take a mini-break from opening new packets to focus on finishing the teas that are already open after this. I was looking… Read More Tea Review: Georgia Manna Black Tea from What Cha

Tea Review: Georgia Davit’s ‘Phoenix’ Black Tea from What Cha

December 2, 2020

It’s time for me to start on one of the teas that I’ve been looking forward to the most in my What Cha Haul – the Georgian teas! I’ve been eyeing the teas from Renegade Tea but the shipping cost has been a pretty big deterrent. So when I realised that I could try two… Read More Tea Review: Georgia Davit’s ‘Phoenix’ Black Tea from What Cha

Tea Review: Korean Dong Cheon Daejak Semi-Wild Green Tea from What Cha

November 26, 2020
Korean Dong Cheon Daejak Semi-Wild Green Tea from What Cha

And we’re back with another review of the What-Cha haul! This time, the tea is a Korean tea, which is one of the countries I don’t know much about. For reference, the only other straight tea from Korea that I’ve tried is the Volcanic Rock Tea by O’Sulloc, so I was super excited to find… Read More Tea Review: Korean Dong Cheon Daejak Semi-Wild Green Tea from What Cha

Trying Quaintly’s Tea & Book Box

November 24, 2020
Quaintly Book and Tea Box

In early September, I decided to buy a one-off Tea & Book box from Quaintly & Co., because Instagram marketing totally works on me. I’ve never subscribed to a book or tea box before because shipping tends to be really expensive, but £4.99 for shipping sounded okay if it was just once so I used… Read More Trying Quaintly’s Tea & Book Box

Unboxing Video Because I Bought Too Much

November 20, 2020

I just spent 2 hours or so waiting for this video to upload, so I’m kinda bursting with a sense of achievement (or is this tiredness from having exercised?) and feel like sharing the video with you: Basically, I bought a bunch of stuff in August/September, bu for some reason they all decided to arrive… Read More Unboxing Video Because I Bought Too Much

3 Reasons Why You Should Keep a Tea Journal

November 19, 2020

I have never really been into journalling, but a side effect of getting on the more visual side of the internet (i.e. Instagram) is that I am filled with the urge to fill in all those unused notebooks prettily. While I’m still working on finding a way to make a physical book journal work for… Read More 3 Reasons Why You Should Keep a Tea Journal

Tea Review: Malawi Zomba Pearls White Tea from What Cha

November 17, 2020
Malawi Zomba Pearls White Tea What Cha

This review has been a long time in the making. I originally wanted to post this in early October, but I forgot to bring the tea with me into Malaysia and I didn’t want to write a review without spending at least two sessions with the tea (just to make sure my first session was… Read More Tea Review: Malawi Zomba Pearls White Tea from What Cha

November 12, 2020
Jun Chiyabari Hand-Rolled Tippy Oolong Tea What Cha

Continuing on with the tea reviews! I’ve still got another 2 Georgian teas before I’ve sampled everything in my What-Cha haul, and then I can move on to the Christmas teas (okay, getting ahead of myself). Today’s tea is from Jun Chiyabari, whom I follow on Instagram so I was really excited to try this!… Read More Tea Review: Jun Chiyabari’s Hand-Rolled Tippy Oolong Tea

Teaware: Tea Steamer vs Gaiwan

November 10, 2020
Tea Steamer vs Gaiwan

A while back, one of my friends posted about a very intriguing taobao find: a tea steamer. Instead of a regular kettle with a filter, this tea steamer is supposed to make tea by steaming it (and condensing the steam into tea). According to their promo material, this is a good way for making tea… Read More Teaware: Tea Steamer vs Gaiwan
