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.
Last year, I visited Bird & Blend Tea Co’s shop for the first time and impulsively bought some of their flavoured matchas. They’ve been sitting around for a while until I finally bit the bullet and bought a chasen and other matcha utensils. Since I’m not a matcha expert, this is really less of a… Read More My First Matcha Journey with Bird & Blend Tea Co’s Mix n Matcha

A friend of mine came back from Japan recently and she gifted me this packet of teas as omiyage! I love Japanese teas so even though I’ve still got quite a lot of loose leaf green teas left, I decided to try this as soon as I could. This set of three consists of three… Read More Tea Tasting: 3 Teas from 祇園辻利 (Gion Tsujiri) + Mini Mysteary
This is long overdue but this post is going to be all about my vintage teacups! I started buying them last October and it’s quickly become an addiction. Since I’m honestly loving them all so much, I’m okay with splashing out the cash for them. But beauty is best shared, so here is my collection:… Read More State of the Teacups (March 2020)
In a sort-of follow up to my review of Osulloc’s Volcanic Rock Tea, I’m here with my thoughts on the Osulloc green cup, which was also given to me by the same friend who went to Korea and not actually green in colour (full name on the bottom: “OSULLOC Green Cup (Ivory)”. Again, I couldn’t… Read More Teaware Review: OSULLOC Green Cup
I mentioned a while back that for the first time ever, I bought a tea because of the a book – Henrietta’s book, to be exact. Her memoir of her life in tea was so fascinating and her tea descriptions so enticing that I bought the Rare Tea Discovery Box even before I finished reading.… Read More Tea Reviews: Rare Tea Discovery Box by Rare Tea Company
This is pretty rare but I borrowed this book because of the author. I’ve heard of Tony Gebely’s tea-rating website Tea Epicure, which meant that I was curious to see what he had to say about tea. The Philosophy of Tea is a slim volume that manages to pack a lot of information about tea.… Read More Books about Tea: The Philosophy of Tea by Tony Gebely
As a tea lover, the increase in homegrown tea brands in the recent years is a cause for joy. I’d like to share the joy with you, so in the first of a multi-part series (final number yet to be determined because I find new brands all the time), I’ll be introducing a few local… Read More 3 Singapore Tea Brands I Love (Part 1)
Today’s tea is special. When my Hong Kong mama and my mum came back from settling Yeye’s affairs, they had a few small gifts for each of us. For me, they gave me a small tea set and some tea. The tea is a Da Hong Pao but to be honest, it could be a… Read More Drinking Yeye's Tea
I never thought that I would have a third round of this but here we are. After my last post, the idea of comparing the cold brew versions of the teas stuck in my mind until finally, I couldn’t ignore the idea any longer. This was the easiest round to prepare because all I needed… Read More Trying 3 Japanese Green Tea Cultivars (Round 3)
