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.
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)
I always get excited when I receive tea so when I came home to this package from Em @ The Geeky Jock (she has an amazing book blog you should check out), it pretty much made my day. There were two teas and while both sounded amazing, Mysteaque had peppermint which I love. Plus, I… Read More Notes on Mysteaque Tea + New Owl Tea Set
Inspired by Northern Teaist, I spent much of the past month trying to finish as many teas as possible. I dug through cupboards and rifled through the tea drawer at work, stumbled across new teas, and ended up managing to finish X teas. Here are my final goodbyes: The Digester (Bird & Blend Tea Co.)… Read More 2019 Tea Sipdown
Merry Christmas everyone! If I’ve done this right, this post will be going out on Christmas Even and I hope that you’re all enjoying the festive spirit. I’ll be having a sort-of break from tomorrow to the 29th – I’ll be off for Christmas, in camp for the 26th to 27th, and will then be… Read More ADVENTure Week 3 + Overall Thoughts on the Yawn Brew Advent Calendars
Nothing much to say except that I got two new teacups and one teaset recently and they are ADORABLE. I’ve been wanting to share pictures of it but the traffic’s been terrible lately and I have not been able to be at home during daylight hours. But the sun rose a little earlier today so… Read More This Teaware's a Hoot
I can’t believe that we’re through with the second week of advent because that means I have slightly over a week to Christmas! Where has the time gone?? Did I do this same panicked lament last year? (Possibly) I’ll have to start writing my year in review posts soon because the rest of December is… Read More ADVENTure Week 2
I had so much fun with my advent calendar last year that I got two this year! As you can imagine, I wasn’t sure if I could handle two tea calendars (that’s a lot of caffeine, even on a workday) so I got a tea calendar and a hot chocolate one, with the reasoning that… Read More ADVENTure Week 1: Tea & Chocolate
