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 have been rather quiet about my Sayama teas recently because of all the other teas that I’ve been getting, but I recently cracked open the Yutakamidori cultivar’s sencha and black tea versions and thought it might be fun to do a comparison! I’ve been doing reviews of the cultivars for a bit so I… Read More Tea Comparisons: Yutakamidori’s Sencha vs Black Tea Versions
I’m not sure if it’s possible but I am somewhat rushing my teas for the last third of this month because December is close and that means CHRISTMAS TEAS! I’m not sure if I’ll get my advent calendar in time, but I am looking forward to drowning in teas. In the meantime, I’m trying to… Read More Lupicia Quick Tea Reviews #8
I don’t know why but I’m currently facing a lot of inertia for blogging! The nice thing is that I managed to write quite a few posts in advance, which are what you are reading this week but I’m hoping I embrace the blogging and the blog-hopping again soon. Anyway, I realised it’s been a… Read More Quick Chinese Tea Reviews #4
I bought this tea when I bought my 30 Chinese tea samples, but I’ve just been so busy with those and I never even thought about cracking open the Tieguanyin. But I had some time the past week and thought it was time to finally drink and review it! From what I can tell, this… Read More Tea Review: Tieguanyin by 老茶农
I can’t believe we’re on the seventh post about Lupicia’s teas. And I just received even more (but probably the final lot of teas) so the end is far but finally in sight. I tried to take a few more photos this time, so here are my thoughts + what I saw at one point… Read More Quick Lupicia Tea Reviews #7
It occurred to me that I never got around to writing about this! So yeah, I know I said next part in the Chinese tea reviews but let me talk about this for a bit. Over the last two or three months (my memory is hazy), I had the good fortune of being asked to… Read More What I Learnt Conducting Two Tea Workshops
So… it’s been a while. In my mind, I knew it was time for a post on all the tea samples that I’ve been drinking, but somehow I never got around to it and now I have nine teas to write about! That’s probably a bit too much for one post so I’ll share five… Read More Quick Chinese Tea Reviews #3
I’ve actually been making good progress with my Lupicia tea samples – probably because I’ve started drinking it in the office and forgetting about the photos. So here’s the first ever text-only review of 4 Lupicia teas. Jiyugaoka Earl Grey:This was described as an Earl Grey with yuzu. I thought I could smell the yuzu… Read More Lupicia Quick Tea Reviews #6
I had a few expiring miles recently and instead of letting them go to waste, I decided to convert them into tea! There weren’t too many tea choices so I ended up getting Fortnum & Mason’s Sparkling Tea. It’s a blend of white, green, and black teas and comes with this impressive description: The latest… Read More Tea Review: Fortnum & Mason’s Sparkling Tea
Another week, another quick tea review! I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the lack of pressure involved in these quick tea reviews, though I don’t actually know how much I’m “learning” about Chinese tea given the free and easy approach! But so far, I’ve found out that the tea samples I received are either white tea or… Read More Quick Chinese Tea Reviews #2
