This post has been a loooooong time in the making, and I did consider just enjoying the teas for myself but some things are too good not to be shared (though as a result, I don’t have as many photos as I normally would). If you recall, way back in January, I went to Sayama… Read More Trying 3 Black Teas from Shimizu-en
I posted earlier about the tea I had at Giverny cafe in Nagasaki. Well, as I was leaving, I realised that they were selling Mlesna Tea so… I bought three (which already shows a lot of self-control on my end). These three teas were technically already in the previous post, but I’ve been sharing them… Read More 3 Mlesna Tea Reviews
In my previous tea post, I talked about the San-Cha Darjeeling tea that I had bought on my trip to India (all the way back in July). But after writing it, I realised that I still had a few packets of the Darjeeling tea by Chayurveda – this was part of a box of various… Read More Comparing Teabag vs Loose Leaf Darjeeling (that I bought in an airport)
Picture this, I’m at Delhi International Airport, extremely tired because I didn’t realise that weddings in India last till 3am and I booked a 8am flight (we went straight from wedding venue to hotel just to pick up our bags and to the airport). There’s only one more flight home and in my sleep-deprived mind,… Read More Tea Review: Darjeeling Chardonnay by San-Cha
The post is finally here!!! I bought these smoked teas over a year ago and was waiting for a good time to sit down and drink them and… that time never really came. So I just bit the bullet and had them anyway (now I just have to do the same for the teas I… Read More Trying 3 Japanese Smoked Teas
We’re approaching Christmas and… I don’t feel prepared! Mostly because I left my advent calendar somewhere I can’t reach it AND I didn’t bring the two books I borrowed for Christmas along (basically winter murder books). But oh wells, it’s not in the Christmas spirit to be a grinch so let me share with you… Read More Christmas Tea Review: Karel Capek’s Merry Christmas and Holly Greeting Tea
Here is something else that I forgot to talk about!! When I met up with one of my friends in Lille, we decided to go to a tearoom. And you know how I love tearooms. But anyway, this post is less of a review and more of a “I went there” type of post because… Read More Visiting Meert’s Tearoom in Lille
I have been rather quiet about my Sayama teas recently because of all the other teas that I’ve been getting, but I recently cracked open the Yutakamidori cultivar’s sencha and black tea versions and thought it might be fun to do a comparison! I’ve been doing reviews of the cultivars for a bit so I… Read More Tea Comparisons: Yutakamidori’s Sencha vs Black Tea Versions
After far too long, I am finally back with (I hope) a nice long review of a new tea! I have been holding back on opening any new packets because it’s really not great to have too much tea open and exposed to air but I have finally finished my Miss Ohh Long from Renegade… Read More Tea Review: 蜜香红茶 (Mixiang Hongcha)
Hey friends! I’m finally opening the second tea I got from Seoul, which means that soon I can go back and open the sencha I got last year. This is a black tea that I came across while just walking around and wanted to give it a go. Unfortunately, I don’t read any Korean. All… Read More Tea Review: Black Tea from Daae Tea House
