One of my friends went on a trip to Nepal recently, and when he asked me what I wanted, I immediately told him “Nepalese tea”. And he came back with a box of Masala Chai for me! Chai isn’t something that I often drink at home – the first time I’ve had it, it was… Read More Rakura’s Masala Chai
And we’re at the final tea of the tea haul! I normally wouldn’t buy black tea because I already have so much (black tea being what most of my family drinks), but I’m also testing out teas for my cousin’s tea bar and this tea was one of the contenders. Keemun black tea is a… Read More Trying Keemun Black Tea
I just got some new teas but since it’ll take some time before I get around to trying them, I thought I’d share some of the teas I’ve been drinking. This post was inspired by the Teas I Drink in a Day series by Tea Is a Wish and The Tea Library (although I drank… Read More Teas I’ve Been Drinking (Quick Tea Reviews #1)
So this is the last ‘new’ tea that I have in my tea cabinet. I never thought I’d get to this stage, but I guess after this, it’s time to focusing on finishing what I have (so that I can buy more tea). Marco Polo is the second tea in the set of two that… Read More Mariage Frères’ Marco Polo
Growing up in Singapore, I never knew about Mariage Frères. If you mentioned local tea brands, when I was young, I probably wouldn’t have known any. By the time I left for university, the only brands I knew would be The 1872 Clipper Tea Co. and TWG. But when I moved overseas, I learnt about… Read More Mariage Frères’ Earl Grey Imperial
I have been longing to try these teas since we got them on teapasar (full disclaimer: I work for teapasar. But I paid for my teas because I am genuinely excited about them and I’m doing this in my non-work time). Especially since one of my colleagues got the green tea and it was fantastic… Read More Hachimanjyu Tea Farm’s Genmaicha and Black Tea
Ever since one of my friends in Britain sent me a picture of Yorkshire Tea’s Biscuit Brew, a tea that’s supposed to taste like tea and biscuits, I’ve been wanting to try it. Since I had relatives visiting England, I asked them to help me bring back: FIVE BOXES. This was definitely not intentional. I… Read More Yorkshire Tea’s Biscuit Brew
It’s Christmas Eve and I’m finally writing my Lupicia Christmas tea post. Unfortunately, while I’m in time for Christmas, this was the 2017 Tea Bag set, which means that I’m a year late for this. But better late then never! (Also, I couldn’t get a hold of the 2018 set because Lupicia no longer operates… Read More Lupicia’s Winter Petit Can Tea Bag Set （冬 プチ缶ティーバッグセット）
When I heard about Kittea’s Christmas teas, I knew that I had to try them. So as soon as they arrived at teapasar @ Nomadx, I bought one tin of each flavour. We had the Dayre Tea ParTEA the next day, so I brought them along for everyone to try as well. The teas came in two… Read More Kittea’s Christmas Teas
The minute I saw that Lupicia and Studio Ghibli were doing a collaboration, I knew that I wanted their teas. The only problem was that I moved back to Singapore last year, which means that I don’t have easy access to the どんぐり共和国 (donguri kyowakoku) shops anymore. Thankfully, I had a tea lover friend who… Read More Totoro and Kiki’s Delivery Service Teas
