Recently, I received a surprise package from flyeetelfly, who sent over some chamomile tea because she heard I was cutting down on caffeine! 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!
When I went to England last year, one of the things I wanted to do was to have tea there. Tea as in the meal, not just the drink. And what better time to have tea than with a friend? Michelle is one of my oldest friends and a huge afternoon tea fan, so I… Read More Yumchaa Cream Tea and Blueberry Hill Tea
I’ve been going to counseling and today’s session made me want to take down notes so that I don’t forget. It’s a bit of a hodge-podge, but I’m sharing it here in case it can help. 1. What toxic means The word toxic is bandied around so often that I didn’t really know what it… Read More Lessons from counselling
I haven’t been able to blog this week because I went to the doctor for my gastric and was told not to drink tea. To quote the doctor, “when you have gastric, the upper limit of tea is zero.” Imagine my horror at that statement [1]. But the doctor has a point. I went to… Read More Non-Caffeine Teas that I Currently Own
I am really loving the different flavoured teas that can be found and one unique one someone gave me was the Singapore Breakfast Tea from T2! T2 is an Australian tea company but this tea was created to celebrate T2’s [1] arrival into Singapore. The tea is a blend of puer, genmai cha[2], coconut, and… Read More Singapore Breakfast Tea (T2 Tea) + Strawberry Tea Samples
This afternoon tea has been on my mind for at least two years. I know because I found a text message from 2015 (or so) asking a friend to accompany me there. Well, I always thought that it was too expensive for a student, but during my last few days in Fukuoka, I decided to… Read More Afternoon Tea @ Fortnum and Mason’s Mitsukoshi Fukuoka Branch
