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.
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
It’s time for another round of quick tea reviews! This might actually be the last post I do here (unless I’m doing a roundup of teas drunk on a trip) because I’ve recently decided to be more active on Instagram and all the mini-tea reviews will probably end up there instead. Fingers crossed I don’t… Read More What’s Been in My Cup (Quick Tea Reviews #3)
Bekah came back from a visit to the States and gave me some tea! In the true spirit of the Boston Tea Party and the liberty teas that followed, the tea that she got me was actually a tisane: chamomile almond. Fun fact: although the Boston Tea Party took place on December 6, 1773, the… Read More Tea Review: Chamomile Almond by Revolutionary Boston
I bought this tea for a very shallow reason: I liked the name. In my defence, I really do love books and it is so hard to resist anything that combines two of my favourite hobbies (see also: books about tea. I’m definitely going to be A Thirst for Empire sometime in the future). I’ve… Read More Tea Review: Book Lover by Karel Capek
Since I’ve started learning about tea, I’ve been focusing mostly on the tea leaves. But I’ve recently started on a tea-adjacent path: teaware. Teaware has been something that I’ve been wanting to get into for some time, but never dared to take the first step because there were just too. many. choices. Let me introduce… Read More Start of Something New
