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
As part of the Chinese New Year festivities, my grandparents received this Silver Jubilee Hoga Gaharu tea and they let me be the first in the family to try it! [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
