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 started the on my Bird & Blend matcha advent! And I received a new one! (No, I did not buy it) This advent is The 1872 Clipper Tea Co.’s advent calendar and Bekah came by the day before Dec 1st to give it to me! Honestly I was really surprised and since the… Read More Tea’s The Season Week 2: I have a new calendar??
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Earlier this year, my friend gave me a box of Karel Capek teas! I’ve actually ordered a lot more since then (think they are on the way to Singapore) but in the mean time, I’ve been having a lot of fun with these. Since they’re just individual teabags, I thought I’d just write some quick… Read More Quick Tea Reviews: Karel Capek Tea Box
