I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with Tafu’s Green Tea Powder because both my sister and I stopped drinking it after a while. We have other green teas that we prefer so this doesn’t come out much. But when I saw this recipe for Matcha Mochi Cupcakes from Tiny Urban Kitchen, I… Read More Green Tea Mochi Muffins
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
Here’s another tea that I got from the Dayre Tea Exchange! I may have to go slow on the new teas after this because it seems like my gastric is back. Oh well, I had a good few weeks run of daily teas. This green tea is from Tafu and for some reason, I can’t… Read More Tafu’s Green Tea Powder（粉末緑茶）
I might have mentioned it before, but I’m currently on a tea-buying ban. Unsurprisingly, there are tons of tea that I want to buy so I’ve redoubled my tea drinking efforts. So far, I’ve finished three teas and opened two new ones lying around. One of them was T2’s Lady Esmerelda’s Ultimate Dream Dictionary and the… Read More Two Lemony Teas
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
Ethel gave me this flowering tea earlier this year and I finally found some time to try it! This tea is from Wu Tsang in Taiwan! I love flowering teas so I was really looking forward to this. Apparently it’s from Fujian and you just need to steep it for 2 – 3 minutes. The tea can… Read More Comparing Two Blooming Teas
My mom and sis went to Vietnam recently, and they came back with some tea for me! I must admit, when I first saw the words “cacao tea”, I was a little afraid … I’ve tried cacao tea before, and I wasn’t too fond of the taste. But, the cacao tea I tried was made… Read More Stonehill’s Cacao Tea
One thing about working for a tea startup is that I get exposed to a lot of different teas, some of which I end up buying. I say some, but I suspect that as I continue working, that word will change to “many”. Pandan Green is one of the first teas that I heard about… Read More Pandan Green by Parchmen and Co.
