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.
After far too long, I am finally back with (I hope) a nice long review of a new tea! I have been holding back on opening any new packets because it’s really not great to have too much tea open and exposed to air but I have finally finished my Miss Ohh Long from Renegade… Read More Tea Review: 蜜香红茶 (Mixiang Hongcha)
It has taken about a month, but we are at the third installment of the Lupicia Quick Tea Reviews series and I’ll be finishing up the teas from December in this post. This means I only have the January teas left to drink (until Ethel passes me more). Today’s teas are pretty fruity – the… Read More Lupicia Quick Tea Reviews #3
Hello friends! It has been a while since my last Lupicia quick tea review post and I was distracted due to Easter and falling sick (again). This time whatever I got was pretty powerful because I got dizzy and breathless and basically was completely unable to work for two days. So let me think back… Read More Lupicia Quick Tea Reviews #2
Lately, I’ve been looking into a mysTEAry regarding a line in one of Agatha Christie’s books and how many types of afternoon teas there might have been. Which is how I found Afternoon Tea: A History by Julia Skinner. I’ve read a bit about afternoon teas while reading other tea books (such as in A… Read More Tea Book Review: Afternoon Tea by Julia Skinner
It’s time for the first instalment in my Lupicia Quick Tea Reviews series! Last week, I managed to try four Lupicia teas – three are from the November tea subscription and one is a sample. The first tea is called Bungo Les Bains and it’s inspired by Oita’s onsens and is supposed to be a… Read More Lupicia Quick Tea Reviews #1
When I chose to share a tea subscription with Flyeetelfly, I knew but I didn’t know what I was getting into. On one, rational, level, I knew that this would mean new packets of tea every month. On another level, I didn’t realise that meant I would drown in tea. I managed to live in… Read More Lupicia Quick Tea Reviews Incoming!
This is going to be a short review because it’s mostly an art book. I considered just putting it on Goodreads to track my stats but it’s so cute I would still like to share it with you (sidenote: I don’t like this mindset I have that short reviews aren’t worth posting for posterity here… Read More Book Review: A Teacup Collection by Molly Hatch
While I’m trying to finish some sencha before resuming my tea reviews, I thought I’d try writing some fun tea posts! If you have any topic requests, let me know. Today, I wanted to talk about tea-related activities you can do with friends that isn’t just drinking tea while chatting (though I honestly really like… Read More ActiviTEAS to do with Friends
It has been a long time, but I finally opened the sencha that I got… last year! That’s later than I would like and I’m just glad it was properly sealed. I got this 星野さつき (Hoshino Satsuki) sencha from Karel Capek, but it actually comes from Hoshino Seichaen (星野製茶園) in Yame, Fukuoka. The Hoshino Satsuki… Read More Tea Review: 星野さつき (Hoshino Satsuki) by Karel Capek
Hey friends! I’m finally opening the second tea I got from Seoul, which means that soon I can go back and open the sencha I got last year. This is a black tea that I came across while just walking around and wanted to give it a go. Unfortunately, I don’t read any Korean. All… Read More Tea Review: Black Tea from Daae Tea House
