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.
Yes, as if collecting vintage teaware isn’t enough (I’ve got my eye on a few things but I’m currently unable to decide which to prioritise :p), I’m starting something new. Or I’m finally starting something new. The world of tea is so huge that even if I concentrated on one area, it’ll take years to… Read More Yet another new tea path
My dad had a craving for afternoon tea and since it was raining, we decided to drive to Marks & Spencers. Afternoon Tea is pretty pricey in Singapore (unless you take the local version of teh + kueh) with most hotels offering tea sets for about SGD 45++ per person but to my surprise, the… Read More The Cheapest Afternoon Tea in Orchard (is at Marks & Spencer)
I was going through the tea cabinet, looking for teas for the sipdown challenge that Northern Teaist mentioned. Apart from finding a few white tea flower buds that smelled a bit suspicious (I haven’t quite decided whether to sipdown or throw), I also came across a packet of tea that I’ve never seen before. While… Read More Lavender Tea (?)
I know it’s not a great idea to start something in the middle of NaNoWriMo, but I’ve been wanting to do a tea exchange for the whole year and still haven’t gotten around to it. So, why not now? Presenting… the 2019 Tea Exchange! I’ve done versions of this in previous years on Dayre, this… Read More 2019 Tea Exchange
I saw this in the library and couldn’t resist! It’s my first documentary that I’ve watched about tea (I’m really more of a book person, as you can probably tell) so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The Meaning of Tea isn’t a history of tea, rather, this show goes around the world and looks… Read More Documentary Review: The Meaning of Tea
I’m always on the lookout for tea-related books and when I saw Nicole’s review of Infused by Henrietta Lovell over at Tea for Me Please, I was intrigued. I’ve read quite a few nonfiction books about tea and its history, but this is the first time that I’ve read about a memoir about a life… Read More Infused by Henrietta Lovell
Sometimes, I drink tea to learn about its nuance and to get excited about the complexities it can hold. Other times, I drink tea for comfort. I’ve got quite a few teas like that in my cupboard, straightforward teas and tisanes that I go to whenever I need something comforting. Recently, I realised that I… Read More Comfort Tea
My sister texted me one day to ask why the green tea we have at home didn’t taste like the Japanese green tea she could buy in a bottle. A little intrigued and also a little worried about her suggestion to buy more bottled tea (we have at least three packets of sencha at home,… Read More I Try To Recreate Bottled Green Tea
This was a tea that I didn’t intend to buy. I pretty much exhausted my budget for tea at Twinings and buying Kinettles Gold (mostly because I bought Kinettles Gold). But as we were wandering around the Shambles, our eyes were caught by the free tea samples and one sip of this left us hooked.… Read More Tea Review: Lullaby by Hebden Tea
Any Legend of Zelda fans here? My brother has fallen in love Breath of the Wild and other Zelda games and he might have gotten me hooked on them too. So when we saw Aimee’s Unofficial Legend of Zelda Cookbook kickstarter, we immediately backed it. As we wait for the book to come (So. Many.… Read More Making Chateau Romani Tea from the Unofficial Legend of Zelda Cookbook
