Hi all, I’m quite determined to finish this series in this post so buckle up because it’s going to be looooong. 桂花红茶 (Osmanthus Black Tea): The tea cake smells strongly of osmanthus and the tea pretty much tasted like it. Somehow the tea wasn’t as sweet as I expected (especially given the strong osmanthus scent,… Read More Quick Chinese Tea Reviews #5
I’m not sure if it’s possible but I am somewhat rushing my teas for the last third of this month because December is close and that means CHRISTMAS TEAS! I’m not sure if I’ll get my advent calendar in time, but I am looking forward to drowning in teas. In the meantime, I’m trying to… Read More Lupicia Quick Tea Reviews #8
I don’t know why but I’m currently facing a lot of inertia for blogging! The nice thing is that I managed to write quite a few posts in advance, which are what you are reading this week but I’m hoping I embrace the blogging and the blog-hopping again soon. Anyway, I realised it’s been a… Read More Quick Chinese Tea Reviews #4

But so far, I’ve found out that the tea samples I received are either white tea or… Read More Quick Chinese Tea Reviews #2
After three months, I am back with more quick tea reviews! Ethel and I finally had time to meet and she passed me alllll the Lupicia teas that I’ve been missing. Since I started caring less about the aesthetics of drinking tea (which is probably because I stopped taking pictures for IG), I brought my… Read More Lupicia Quick Tea Reviews #5
If anyone remembers my tea haul post from about two weeks back, well… I have tea reviews from that haul for you! Also, the second part of my tea haul came so I get to talk about lots and lots of tea today! More Tea Incoming You know, when I initially bought the teas, I… Read More Quick Tea Reviews: 5 Chinese Teas + Another Tea Haul!
June was an intense work month. So intense that I turned to some retail tea-rapy. While knowing that I probably have more than enough tea for the next couple of months, I could NOT resist picking up quite a bit of Chinese tea (in sample form). Only half of my purchases are here but I… Read More My latest tea purchase
