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.
This is a little late but it’s the follow-up to my post on B-Corp certification. Previously, I wrote about how B-Corp Certification could be a useful way to find ethical/sustainable tea companies, with the caveat a lack of certification doesn’t mean a company is being unsustainable or unethical. It just means we have to dig… Read More SustainabiliTEA: B-Corp Certified Tea Companies
Some time ago, I did a quick review of two Renegade Teas that I tried with my friend. Today, I want to bring you a slightly more detailed review of an oolong that I tried recently! Here is the tea description from Renegade Tea’s website: “This oolong has the perfect balance between the silky nature… Read More Tea Review: Miss Ohh Long by Renegade Tea
Hello friend! This is me tentatively moving back into the tea review space. I’ve actually had this tea for a while – since early June when my amazing friend helped me buy this tea – but I didn’t dare to open it until I came back to Singapore, and then I procrastinated on drinking it… Read More Tea Review: Regal Blend by Whittard
Recently, I reviewed two Numi Teas and noticed that the brand was a certified B Corp company. Well, that reminded me that I’ve not talked about B Corp certifications before and it might be something that’s helpful to know if you’re looking for sustainably grown tea. What is a B Corp Certification? B Corp Certification… Read More SustainabiliTEA: What is B Corp Certification and Why It May Matter
The title of this post sounds like it could be a video, but I didn’t take any so let me try to set the scene: It’s a Sunday afternoon and I’m meeting a friend who’s been living overseas. After forgetting to bring teas once, I have finally smuggled a few packets into a local teahouse.… Read More I tried 2 Renegade Teas with my Friend
It didn’t take long for Ethel and I to decide where to meet now that I’m back – she sent me a link to the Japanese Afternoon Tea at Pan Pacific and I immediately said yes. I love Japan and I love afternoon tea, so this pairing seemed like a match made in heaven. Since… Read More Japanese Afternoon Tea @ Pan Pacific Singapore
One thing I quickly noticed when I started my new job was that my tea drinking habits had to change. When I was working on my thesis full time (and when I was working from home), I used to drink my tea in the morning over the course of two to three hours. I’d normally… Read More Tea Discussion Post: Do You Have a Tea Routine at Work?
Hello tea friends!! I’m finally at a stage where I can slowly open up new packets of tea to enjoy! These two teas were actually teas that I bought during my trip to San Francisco (I’ve got more that need to be reviewed too!). Aged Earl Grey Tea I actually found Numi Tea after I… Read More Quick Tea Reviews: 2 Numi Teas (Aged Earl Grey and Jasmine Green)
Hello friends! This is the last post in the tea 101 series for a while, and I’m excited to share a cultivar that’s completely new to me – the Tsuyuhikari (つゆひかり)! What is the Tsuyuhikari cultivar? The Tsuyuhikar was created by the Shizuoka Tea Experiment Station (静岡県茶業試験場) in 1970 by crossing Shizu7132 (静7132) as the… Read More Tea 101: Tsuyuhikari
I’m not sure what happened last week but I was down with a sore throat and a bad cough (not covid!) for a few days and didn’t have time to write this post until now. But, the okuharuka cultivar is a very interesting one (albeit one I don’t know what much about) and I’m excited… Read More Tea 101: Okuharuka
