Lavender tea

Finally had a time to write some tea that I have tried out
I was so happy when I saw this tea package at a store today…
the price was $28 (HKD) but I actuallygot another 50% off…so happy!!
but the most important is it has all the tea flavours that I always wanted to try and especially in small packs..

So today, I tried Lavender tea..
so happy!
I am a person that have never been to a Lavender field (but always dreaming to go) and only saw the flower Lavender once last summer in a garden and I only used Lavender oil and never try any Lavender products then…
This tea package actually from Japan…

The aroma of Lavender is so strong that filled up the whole kitchen when I first pour the hot water down to the cup with it…Smell so good…

I really need a cup of Lavender, have been finding this tea for a year….coz I heard that Lavender can actually help to relax..
This tea is a herb tea and the tea is so good and is not that strong at all…i thought it is like other herb that it has a strong taste of spice…it doesn’t even though it tastes like there is some spices in it.
The tea is so  nice, my headache just gone when I sipping it…

  

Finding a perfect one ~ 7

 

Well the series of Finding a perfect one now has gone to #7 now.

I guess I have been searching for a perfect one for a long time that I still haven’t bought one, but at last, I found it a week ago.

The mugs below actually I have seen it this summer, but I wasn’t sure is it what I really want, but  I can now yes, because I can share it with a special person.

This is called the Lovers Mug, they are made in Korea.

I love them a lot, especially the writings on the mug, make me laugh a lot.  So one for me and one for that special person who is willing to share the savored with me.

I guess this is the greatest gift for couples.

Finding a perfect one ~ 6

 

 

HO HO HO!

It seems that I haven’t updated my blog for a long time.
I hope that there are still people checking this out as I would like to share what I have found lately, especially in this season, in this time of the year, Christmas.

As you may know that gift exchange is something that you can ignore or avoid during Christmas, so in the last couple of days I was hunting for some Christmas gift that I don’t know who will I give to, boy or girl, young or old, active or quiet people…..so I have to find something that may be suitable for anyone.

I am not an expert of anything,  I only know about tea more than the people around me, so I guess the only option that I have is buying a special mug.

Remember the other mug that i have introduced early this year from Three Potatoe Four?

I have found one in the shopping centre on Sunday which is similiar type.

Pretty nice,they got a few different ones, but I choose this one which I think it fits for girls or guys.
Plus it has green and red colors, the seasonal color.

I got 20% discount! (YES!!)

Wanna keep this one for myself so badly (becoz you can put the teabag on the top of that thing)

Barley Tea/Mugicha Tea

A colleague of mine just bought some barley tea for the whole office from Japan.

Before putting the barley tea bag into the hot water, I can smell from the bag already
Smell so good!!!!

Just looking it up for Barley tea, it actually really good for the body
from the perspective of Chinese medicine

It is good for your stomach, especially for those don’t have good stomach, (i.e. suffer from stomache)
Good for people who constipate, because barley tea can help for digesting the carbonhydrate food, this tea is good for your digestive system

This tea also only good for mothers who just finish breast feeding, (Caution: not for those who are breast feeding, “finish” I mean totally finished, no more breast feeding to your baby)

Wow~ it is just a tea, but I can still how helpful it can be.

   

Expensive Tea

I am now currently working in HK and I have looking for tea shops and new tea to try out
The tea that I am going to introduce is from Germany, Gourmetti’s Blueberry Bliss

 
I have seen this brand promoting and selling in most of the supermarkets here

The thing that attracts me to look into this tea more is not because it is everywhere, (seems popular) but the PRICE!!!

It is 4 times more expensive than any other tea that are selling in the supermarket

It is 120g but as far as I could remember it is selling at a price of HKD98
Well, I guess it is not that expensive when I put it back into Canadians but it sounds expensive in HKD

I guess this tea worth what it rates…
1st because when you first open the tin, it welcomes you with a strong blueberry aromatic flavour
2nd because it has real fruits in it…..i actually need to chew the blueberries….
3rd this blueberry bliss good for health as well due to the high Vitamin C in it

It tastes fantastic and the flavour stays in your mouth for awhile
I am gonna to bring to work and make all my colleagues jealous of it and wanna to get one as well

Pu-er Tea

Currently I am drinking Pu-er Tea everyday as this is the tea that my parents offer me daily
I also reading a book about tea….it is a very interesting book and include all the functions and things that different kinds of tea could offer. I will write more later on.
After reading about Pu-er Tea, I just realised that tea do have nutrition values

for example, Pu-er Tea contain vitamin B1, B2, C and E and β Carotene

Pu-er tea / Camellia sinensis var. assamica
- black tea
- good for preventing high blood pressure and cancer and constipation
-  reduce cholesterol
- good for ladies who have their legs and hands cold all the time
- increase metabolic rate

And I do think that after drinking for awhile, it does work…
at least reducing cholesterol and break down fat….haa haa

New Tea- Apple

Have been trying out new tea…but let me write about the tea that I just bought yesterday

   

 

 What attracts me most about this tea is

 

1st – the package
I just fell in love with the packagings
I want to buy all of them….this one the tea packs in a test tube…feels so cool, modern, trendy and simple

2nd – the “Tea biscuit”
I don’t know the right term for it
I usually see this if the tea is chinese tea..that’s the way how they sell tea.
but I rarely see tea packages like that..it only packages like that in chinese restaurant only I guess..

This tea is from Japan
It is black tea with apple flavor
Funny enough…it tastes like not apple but cinnamon and reminds me about Licorice Tea…
Not bad..

The only thing I don’t like about it is the flower…haa haa

Tea is back on track!

 

Halo!
I guess it took me a long to come back…
Shouldn’t say I will back soon…
Anyway…I tried to get online and type more before, but April was the period of finals…then moving house, May was a period of moving and bringing my family around the country.. and it was MY CONVOCATION.MY BIG TIME..
then June I moved back to my parents’ place…and start looking for jobs…
so I was basically travel back and forth for the last 60 days…

So now I settle down and for sure I am not onl doing job hunting but also tea hunting…
now back on track and write more about tea..

Sorry for people who have been waiting..

Didn’t update for the last two weeks not because I didn’t try any tea
but it is final and final papers period
so don’t have time to update the blog

but i will up again after tuesday

Blackcurrant tea

 

The newest tea that I try is the Blackcurrant tea from Stash herbal samplers
(Yes, still the herbal tea, you can still how long does it take me to finish and try all the samplers in that box)

I think after trying so many teas that have berries flavor (except strawberry and blueberry)
I don’t think I am really into the berry types tea now
To me
is too sour
(I don’t know probably just me coz my friend said it is sweet enough…)

Anyway
I just found that it is good to have blackcurrant though
as it does good to health
may be I should try the tea again or just simply eat blackcurrant

Blackcurrant is famous containing high level of Vitamins C
Vitamins C cannot be produced by the body
Vitamins C is important to skin, teeth, ligaments, bones, tendons and cartilage…

Tea quote

Danson\’s song in piano version

“If you are cold, tea will warm you. If you are too heated, it will cool you. If you are depressed, it will cheer you. If you are excited, it will calm you.”

Do you know – Peppermint Tea

The Young prince and the young princess

I was drinking Peppermint Tea last time when I was having a cold..

the notes that I have found have something on peppermint tea as well

Eases acidity and relaxes spasmodi pain in upper digestive system

aid body in fighting infections

formula for onset of cold

removal of toxins from tissues

T42

I always stopped by Esquire
But the drink I order most of the time is not coffee but tea

I love the Lemon & Honey Green Tea
No matter which brand….

I like this one
Probably because the lemon and honey really stand out

I was reading the label on the bottle
just realised that this brand has been brewing tea for 70 years!!! (Wow!)

Still
I think it is little bit too sweet when compare with Lipton
probably they use real sugar cane?!

POM tea

Pomegranate Peach Passion White Tea

I wanted to try this tea for a long time
but th eprice of it is sooo high (I wonder why it costs so much for a cup of tea)

It says in the back that it uses whole tea leaf
and 4mg caffeine

I think probably because the popularity of pomegranate now
everything or every tea brand usePomegranate…

Anyway my perosnal opinion:

Peach flavor is so strong which is nice because lots of people do not like the taste of pomegranate

but
The whole experience of this tea is tooooooo sweet

I guess summer soon arrives
First time to leave school when there is still sunlight there

I had a cup of Peppermint tea from Stash today
So nice
The flavour of peppermint is really strong

Felt so relaxing have the peppermint while enjoying the sunset, the music and the picture above

It is not my first time to try peppermint tea
The first time I tried it was at a friend’s house
we had peppermint tea for afternoon tea

My afternoon tea usually takes place at some hotels
I love going high tea
The tea that i usually order is Earl Grey
But I guess peppermint tea would be another choose for me now

This is what my friend made for afternoon tea and serve with peppermint tea
