So, I’ve started the on my Bird & Blend matcha advent! And I received a new one! (No, I did not buy it) This advent is The 1872 Clipper Tea Co.’s advent calendar and Bekah came by the day before Dec 1st to give it to me! Honestly I was really surprised and since the… Read More Tea’s The Season Week 2: I have a new calendar??
In early September, I decided to buy a one-off Tea & Book box from Quaintly & Co., because Instagram marketing totally works on me. I’ve never subscribed to a book or tea box before because shipping tends to be really expensive, but £4.99 for shipping sounded okay if it was just once so I used… Read More Trying Quaintly’s Tea & Book Box
Earlier this year, my friend gave me a box of Karel Capek teas! I’ve actually ordered a lot more since then (think they are on the way to Singapore) but in the mean time, I’ve been having a lot of fun with these. Since they’re just individual teabags, I thought I’d just write some quick… Read More Quick Tea Reviews: Karel Capek Tea Box
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
I mentioned a while back that for the first time ever, I bought a tea because of the a book – Henrietta’s book, to be exact. Her memoir of her life in tea was so fascinating and her tea descriptions so enticing that I bought the Rare Tea Discovery Box even before I finished reading.… Read More Tea Reviews: Rare Tea Discovery Box by Rare Tea Company
Merry Christmas everyone! If I’ve done this right, this post will be going out on Christmas Even and I hope that you’re all enjoying the festive spirit. I’ll be having a sort-of break from tomorrow to the 29th – I’ll be off for Christmas, in camp for the 26th to 27th, and will then be… Read More ADVENTure Week 3 + Overall Thoughts on the Yawn Brew Advent Calendars
I can’t believe that we’re through with the second week of advent because that means I have slightly over a week to Christmas! Where has the time gone?? Did I do this same panicked lament last year? (Possibly) I’ll have to start writing my year in review posts soon because the rest of December is… Read More ADVENTure Week 2
I had so much fun with my advent calendar last year that I got two this year! As you can imagine, I wasn’t sure if I could handle two tea calendars (that’s a lot of caffeine, even on a workday) so I got a tea calendar and a hot chocolate one, with the reasoning that… Read More ADVENTure Week 1: Tea & Chocolate
It’s time for another round of quick tea reviews! This might actually be the last post I do here (unless I’m doing a roundup of teas drunk on a trip) because I’ve recently decided to be more active on Instagram and all the mini-tea reviews will probably end up there instead. Fingers crossed I don’t… Read More What’s Been in My Cup (Quick Tea Reviews #3)
For someone who just came back from a week in Japan, I didn’t have that much tea. I did visit a tea farm (which I cannot wait to write about once I settle into this new job) but other than that, I can only think of three instances where I had tea and wanted to… Read More Teas I had in Japan
