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.
When I was in Korea, we stopped by the 7-eleven near the hotel pretty often. I kept looking at the tea section (as I do in many stores) and eventually, decided to try a 7-eleven brand tea because… I was just curious about how good it could be. The Difference between Brown Rice Green Tea… Read More Tea Review: Brown Rice Green Tea from 7-Eleven Korea
Oh hi, I believe this is the first tisane review of the year! And probably the first time I’ve drunk mugicha in a long, long time so let’s dive into it. First impressions Because I’ve not had mugicha in a while, I’ve forgotten how… strong it can smell. As soon as I opened the packet,… Read More Tisane Review: Lychee Raspberry Mugicha from Karel Capek
It’s been a while since I wrote a universiTEA post and today, I want to explore (keyword: explore, not answer) the question: can crazing in teaware ever be a good thing? What is Crazing?

Oh wow have I procrastinated on these! I finished drinking these in November 2022 and the post is coming out… now in 2023.

So without further ado, here… Read More Quick Tea Reviews: Zealong Teas (Part 2)
Hello friends! While I’m full of the “new start” energy a new year brings, I want to make a move on this project that I’ve been wanting to do for a while – writing a book about tea! As you may know, I bumbled my way around tea-drinking for a while, but was lucky enough… Read More I need your questions about tea!

But I do have several plans and I decided to kick things with a quick stock-take of what’s in my tea stash and what you might be seeing on the blog in the near future. Right now, I’m… Read More My 2023 Start-of-the-Year Tea Stash
I was in Seoul recently, and since I had some free time, my boyfriend and I decided to visit the Beautiful Tea Museum! I saw “we decided” but really, I am the tea addict here and he was happy to accompany me there. I heard about Teastory Beautiful Tea Museum from a friend on Instagram!… Read More Visiting Teastory Beautiful Tea Museum in Seoul
I’m currently on vacation but I needed to get back here to bring you this post before it’s too late – a quick review of the Spiced Christmas Tea by Marks & Spencer. I’m normally not a fan of spiced teas, but I’ll make an exception for Christmas. This tea is pretty straightforward – it’s… Read More The Fes-TEA-ve Season: Spiced Christmas Tea from Marks and Spencer
To be very honest, this review is more for me than it is for anyone else, because Kyoto in Autumn was a time-limited afternoon tea and I went on the second last day so it’s pretty much over by now. But, I do love anything Japan-themed and after the disappointing afternoon tea from Pan Pacific,… Read More Afternoon Tea Review: Kyoto in Autumn @ Four Seasons
It’s December which means that I can play Christmas music for my whole commute and no one can say anything! And more excitingly, it’s time for another tea advent calendar! This year, I opted to get the tea advent from Fortnum & Mason. I think I’ve tried only one of their teas before this, so… Read More The Fes-TEA-ve Season: 2022 Fortnum & Mason Tea Advent Calender
