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

[1] This set actually contains a can of tea (in the form of tea bags) and a glass bottle. I haven’t had the chance to… Read More Silver Jubilee Hoga Gaharu Tea

I haven’t tried many Ette teas, so I was really excited for this. From the product description, this tea is “a calming floral blend of roman chamomile, snow chrysanthemum and lavender blossoms.… Read More Ette’s Hotel Chamomile
One of the few anime/manga series that I still follow is Detective Conan, partly because it’s fun and partly because I’ve invested too much time to give up now. So when I saw these Detective Conan-themed teas in Japan, I immediately bought a couple to try (this is a while ago so forgive me if… Read More Detective Conan Tea
I thought I’d switch things up a little and do a personal tea post, which means I will not be talking about flavours but more about memories. When I was young, I wasn’t a fan of tea. Nope, I was a fan of coca-cola, milo [1], ribena, and basically all the sweet drinks. But after… Read More Four ‘First’ Teas
Can you believe that Chinese New Year is almost here? I can’t, because I haven’t even come close to finishing the Year of the Chicken tea that I bought last year. So in the spirit of “let me do this while we’re still in the year of the chicken”, here’s my review of Lupicia’s Year… Read More Lupicia Year of the Chicken Tea
Guess what? I finally found a printer so paperback copies of my books are finally available in Singapore! (If you don’t want to pay for shipping from Amazon). This is how the books look like. They’re almost identical to the Amazon versions, only the paper is white and not cream, and there’s no barcode. And… Read More Paperbacks Available in Singapore!
