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.

My First Matcha Journey with Bird & Blend Tea Co’s Mix n Matcha

March 18, 2020
Bird Blend Tea Co Mix n Matcha

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

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.

Teaware Review: OSULLOC Green Cup

February 27, 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

Books about Tea: The Philosophy of Tea by Tony Gebely

February 13, 2020
The Philosophy of Tea Tony Gebely

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

Drinking Yeyes Tea

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
