Today, I want to introduce one of the teas that I bought in Kumamoto. It’s called 食べる緑茶 (Taberu Ryokucha) and it literally means “edible green tea”. This tea is from Izumi and if you believe the product page, it’s a super healthy tea to drink because the tea is powdered, which means that all the… Read More 食べる緑茶 (Taberu Ryokucha) + the Difference with Matcha
This is one of the teas that I got from Lupicia’s tea marche when I was in Japan (I miss the tea marches and Lupicia). I’ve been waiting for a special occasion to drink it and the Dayre Tea party was the perfect time! According to the description on the bag, this tea was made… Read More Lupicia’s Cookie Tea
I originally planned to review Ette’s Nasi Lemak tea and Ice Kacang tea together but somehow… I LOST THE ICE KACANG TEA! I don’t even know how that happened and I searched my tea cupboard twice but I still can’t find it. So I guess today, I’m just talking about the Nasi Lemak Tea. Nasi… Read More Ette’s Nasi Lemak Tea
Second post in this series and I thought that I’d talk about a part of tea that is vital to the beverage but not really considered [1]: water. To me, water is water, but there are apparently three things to consider. 1. Hardness of the waterThe book that I’m using (Black Tea Bible) divides water… Read More Tea 101: Water in Tea
We’re back to the stash of teas that I brought back from Japan! This time, I want to talk about the Matchaway tea by Lupicia: Matchaway is basically matcha that has been made to be easily dissolved in both hot and room-temperature water. They use tea leaves from Aichi while avoiding the use of sugar,… Read More Lupicia’s Matchaway (Strawberry & Acai)
During our trip to England last year, we visited Bath and of course, I had to visit the Jane Austen Centre! They had a tea room and a Jane Austen blend tea which made me very happy (as you can imagine). First, the tea: I also bought a book called Dining with Mr. Darcy This… Read More Jane Austen Tea + Jane Austen Centre Tea Room
I heard good things about A Social History of Tea by this two authors (link to the review I saw) and wanted to read it, but the library didn’t have the book so I borrowed this instead. It’s a pretty comprehensive look at tea, focusing on the various types of teas around the world. The book… Read More The New Tea Companion by Jane Pettigrew and Bruce Richardson
I was digging through my tea stash when I found a handful of Clipper teas! I’m pretty sure they’re from my trip to England and since I’m not familiar with this brand, I decided to drink all of these to see if there’s any I’d be interested in buying. I found a total of five… Read More A Handful of Clipper Teas
A few days ago, I dragged my somewhat skeptical mother to D Good Cafe at Takashimaya, Ngee Ann City. We ate at the Holland Village branch a while back and she was not impressed with the quality. But since I told her there was a fairly cheap afternoon tea set, she agreed to give it… Read More Afternoon Tea @ D Good Cafe (Takashimaya)
You probably know that I like tea mostly because I like how it tastes. And that I started this blog not knowing much about tea. But since I know have a blog (and because I’ve been drinking tea for a while now), I thought it would be a good idea for me to know more… Read More Tea 101: Types of Tea
