After so long, I finally found some time where I was ready to get to know a new tea! This tea is a 2019 Dong Ding Oolong from Augur Tea Affairs – I talked about their 2009 Dragon Balls of Bulang recently and this was from the same tea haul. The description: “A restrained floral… Read More Tea Review: 2019 Dong Ding Oolong by Augur Tea Affairs
As a tea lover, the increase in homegrown tea brands in the recent years is a cause for joy. I’d like to share the joy with you, so in the first of a multi-part series (final number yet to be determined because I find new brands all the time), I’ll be introducing a few local… Read More 3 Singapore Tea Brands I Love (Part 1)
It’s always fun testing seasonal teas so when Kittea released their Year of the Rat tea (consisting of the Year of the Rat blend and a Fortune Kittea blend), I immediately got it. After all, I had fun trying last year’s Year of the Pig tea and I haven’t really had blends in a while.… Read More Tea Review: Year of the Rat Tea by Kittea
Tea at Cher’s is always interesting because she’s a woman of great tea resources and has all the interesting teas. So after our tea blending experiment, we continued to just drink from her collection of tea. One of the teas that she brought out was this gorgeous Yunnan Purple Bud (云南古树紫芽苞). Look at how gorgeous… Read More Trying Yunnan Purple Buds (云南古树紫芽苞)
I was planning to stay at home today but the jetlag kicked in and I woke up pretty early. Since Instagram told me that it was Antea Social’s new teahouse’s official opening today, I decided to make use of this sudden burst of energy to visit the teahouse. While I don’t think I’ve mentioned Antea… Read More Teahouse Visit: Antea Social
I’m currently typing this on my very cranky laptop that’s torturing me by suddenly hanging up (current forced restart count: 4). I don’t think I’ve hit save so often since school days! Luckily, I’ve been trying tea, which always puts me in a good mood. Today’s tea is a very special type of white tea… Read More Parchmen & Co.’s White Blossom
I know I said no more teas for a while, but then I saw Kittea’s Year of the Pig tea and I was like “my gastric can’t get any worse”. Plus, this is a seasonal tea and I am such a sucker for seasonal items (living in Japan was so dangerous to my wallet). The… Read More Kittea’s Year of the Pig Tea
Look at these stack of books: Doesn’t one of them look different from the rest? That’s because it’s tea!! My manager got me this for Christmas, along with a T2 teapot and I couldn’t wait to try it out! (Please note all the exclamation points that denote excitement) This fruit tisane is made of apple,… Read More Festive T2 Classics: Lady Esmerelda’s Ultimate Dream Dictionary
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
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.
