Hi friends! For the first tea post of this year, I thought it would be interesting to crack open the Yutakamidori Black Tea that I received from the NPO Agriculture Support Team in Saitama. Well, to be honest, the packaging for this tea was a bit damaged when I received it, so I knew I… Read More Tea Exploration: Yutakamidori Black Tea
This is the second of the three Renegade Tea Farm teas that I bought and… I have to admit that this tea taught me a lesson. But first, let’s start with the description of the tea: The Smooth Jazz’s recipe has developed over time together with new jazz tunes. We believe that this year’s batches… Read More Tea Review: Smooth Jazz by Renegade Tea Estate
I’m fairly hopeful that the season of regular-ish tea reviews is back because I’ve received quite a bit of tea in the last two weeks and I’m really excited to make my way through them! Today, I’m doing a review of Nepal Mystic, which was given to me by Warren! I’m always excited for teas… Read More Tea Review: Nepal Mystic by TeaHaus
Hello tea friends! This is possibly my most anticipated tea purchase of the year, because I pre-ordered this tea all the way in May but only received it in September. What kind of tea is this? It’s a black tea from Satemwa Tea Farm. As part of the letter that came with the tea says:… Read More Tea Review: Special Satemwa Harvest from Rare Tea Company
Today’s review is a short little review, mostly because this is a birthday gift from my family and I want to just write down my thoughts on it so I don’t forget what I received! I received this tea plus some honey, salted caramel, and a box of macarons for my birthday! The Thé Marie-Antoinette… Read More Tea Review: Thé Marie-Antoinette by Ladurée
After a long time, I’m back with a Lupicia tea review! I was originally going to review a Lupicia Rooibos Fruit of the Season blend but the rooibos smelled sour in a bad way and since the tea is supposed to be chestnut flavoured, I decided that I was not going to drink that. So… Read More Tea Review: Lemonade by Lupicia
Quick question: did anyone thing I was done with tea reviews because I finished reviewing all the teas from The Tea Crane and mentioned I was really good and hadn’t bought tea? If you know me, you probably know that I always have new tea to taste. To my credit/due to my restraint as of… Read More Tea Review: Happy Cherry Tea by Karel Capek
I’m back with another review of a tea from Satemwa Tea, and then I think I’ll be going back to Japanese tea (and whatever is in the second month of my Tea Crane subscription because I have not touched that). First Impressions The Thyolo Moto Guava OP1 is a black tea smoked with guava leaves,… Read More Tea Review: Thyolo Moto (Guava OP1) by Satemwa Tea Estate
Since I had three wakoucha (Japanese black teas) from The Tea Crane around AND I was still thinking about Toucha (having translated two toucha sessions), I thought it would be fun to combine the two! The video embedded is pretty much all I planned (although I did not plan to show everyone my messy kitchen)… Read More Trying a Wakoucha Toucha
This is the third and final tea in the ‘Aged Wakoucha’ trio that I got from The Tea Crane! It’s been a very enjoyable first box, and although these teas seem really different (drinking them individually), I’m going to see if I have time this weekend to do a comparison of the three and see… Read More Tea Review: Benihomare Aged Wakoucha by The Tea Crane
