This is the second of the three wakoucha that I’m planning to drink and compare (while I ignore an unopened box of tea) and it’s actually the one that intrigued me the most! This tea is made from the same cultivar as the amazingly floral Yame Organic Benifuki Wakoucha that I recently drank and loved,… Read More Tea Review: Benifuki Aged Wakoucha by The Tea Crane
Yes, I still have Japanese teas to open and review! This is a wakoucha (Japanese black tea) made from a cultivar that’s said to be suited to black teas and which that has been aged. Sounds exciting, right? I’m especially excited because the first wakoucha I had from The Tea Crane was amazing. Here’s a… Read More Tea Review: Benihikari Aged Wakoucha from The Tea Crane
I have not mentioned this before but I’m pretty sure the Honeycomb Cookie Doh is one of the reasons why I bought the Autumn sampler set!! Because I loooove cookies! The product page is no more, which means I can’t really introduce the blend, so let’s jump straight into the review First Impressions The dry… Read More Tea Review: Honeycomb Cookie Doh by Bird and Blend Tea
I’m always excited to try wakoucha (Japanese black teas) because they tend to be very unique. But I wasn’t prepared for the experience this tea gave me. But before I begin, here’s the description of the tea from The Tea Crane: Spring harvest Japanese ‘Wakōcha’ black tea from the Benifuki cultivar.Growing at an altitude of… Read More Tea Review: Yame Organic Benifuki Wakoucha by The Tea Crane
I’ve actually been pretty good with finishing my tea blends so I decided that I can open two new packets this week! This first one is from Bird and Blend Tea Co. and it’s part of their Autumn Sampler Pack. I really like the 20g package because it’s relatively easy to finish but I still… Read More Tea Review: Violet Cream by Bird and Blend Tea Co.
I thought it’d take some time before I can open a new tea, but I managed to finish the Santomi Black tea! One tea out, one tea in, so I decided to open Tea & Toast, a very intriguingly named tea from Bird & Blend Tea Co. This was part of the Autumn Sampler Pack… Read More Tea Review: Tea & Toast by Bird and Blend Tea Co.
We’re continuing the Georgia tea reviews with my second Georgian tea from What Cha! I think this finishes up most of the What Cha haul (except for the mystery tea) and I’ll probably take a mini-break from opening new packets to focus on finishing the teas that are already open after this. I was looking… Read More Tea Review: Georgia Manna Black Tea from What Cha
It’s time for me to start on one of the teas that I’ve been looking forward to the most in my What Cha Haul – the Georgian teas! I’ve been eyeing the teas from Renegade Tea but the shipping cost has been a pretty big deterrent. So when I realised that I could try two… Read More Tea Review: Georgia Davit’s ‘Phoenix’ Black Tea from What Cha
Time for another tea review! This Darjeeling tea was a sample that came with What Cha order, and I was so happy there was enough for two gongfu sessions! So we have one session at home and one session at the office, in between work. First Impressions The dry leaves are pretty small but pretty!… Read More Tea Review: Darjeeling Gopaldhara Golden Tips Black Tea from What Cha
Today’s teas come from Gina, one of my friends in Indonesia! She sent these two teas from 七 Story [1] via another friend and I decided to drink them while I’m in quarantine (because my novel experiences are currently all book and tea related). There was only enough for one tea session per blend, so… Read More Tea Review: Smoky Green Tea & Jakarta Thee 492 from 七 Story
