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.
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)
It’s always fun testing seasonal teas so when Kittea released their Year of the Rat tea (consisting of the Year of the Rat blend and a Fortune Kittea blend), I immediately got it. After all, I had fun trying last year’s Year of the Pig tea and I haven’t really had blends in a while.… Read More Tea Review: Year of the Rat Tea by Kittea
During the last Tea Exchange, Lavínia sent me a package from Brazil! She packed in a lot of things, including a lovely handwritten letter (if only my handwriting was that nice) and a box of roasted mate tea! I’ve never had mate tea before, but I knew that it was a tisane that actually contains… Read More Trying Mate Tea
Note: This is a follow-up post to my first post on caffeine in tea, which was written about a year and a half ago. Normally, I don’t really revisit tea topics because I don’t really feel the need to re-research everything, but I came across this information in 日本茶のすべてがわかる本 and I thought it was worth… Read More Tea 101: Caffeine in Tea (Part 2)
All the way back in October, I wrote about trying 3 different Japanese green tea cultivars and finding the differences (or lack thereof). In that post, I mentioned wanting to try devoting a week of tea drinking to each tea, something that I managed to do! As it turns out, I forgot that I wanted… Read More Trying 3 Japanese Green Teas Cultivars (Round 2)
