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

Organic Scottish breakfast tea

The other tea that I bought was Organic Scottish Breakfast Tea
The reason I bought this is to see whether this type of breakfast tea is better than Stash/Twining

 

Different brands of Breakfast tea

	Twining	Stash	Revolution
Ingredients	-          Kenyan -          Assam	-          Ceylon Tea (Sri Lanka) -          Malty Assam -          Smooth Nilgiri -          Full bodied Keemun	-   Organic Assam -  Organic China Keemun -  Organic Nilgiri Dunsandale - (all full bodied)

I guess after looking at the chart
you may know which one I would prefer
especially now I love organic stuff
so I guess this brand more 

The scottish breakfast tea is really fresh
the flavour does stand out
I like it after drinking
my mouth doesn’t have the tea staying inside
you know what I mean
sometimes after drinking a cup of tea
the tea  still staying inside your mouth
it feels kind of dry or there is soemthing in the mouth just don’t feel comfortable
it probably because of the little portion of milk that I added
but still
this one didn’t happen to me even though I added milk into it

This brand is good however the price is also “too good”
it is the most expensive out of these 3 brands

oh well
meanwhile I do need a good and  strong black tea for me while I am rushing and fighting the last two weeks of classes

and good that this tea just reduced the price at the right time

but I guess I should drink it slowly

Earl Gery – Tazo

Well
I love Earl Grey tea
and honestly the first time that I really tried Earl Grey was 15-16 years old in a 5 star hotel

the 2nd time I tried it was about the same age in a very famous hotel
and their high tea is very well known

After those two experiences I had
I love Earl Grey
and it was my favorite tea after all
I always order Earl Grey tea everytime I have buffet or high tea in those two hotels

Earl Grey tea is a kind of black tea
I like the smell and taste of lemon

This time I tried the Earl Grey from Tazo
Honestly
I don’t like this brand
I guess because of the first impression
and second the other tea that I tried wasn’t a good (personal) experience…so..

But the Earl Grey I tried
changed me

The citrus was really strong
I like it

I also like the website
very interactive
should check it out

Tigger & Tea ~ Murchies Tea

Spring time comes! (Finally~~)

Today’s tea would be Murchie’s Mango Tea
It is black tea
(Well, time to have a change not to have herbal tea all the time)

1st time I met this brand was in Vancouver
My cousin recommended this to me
I love it
Because you can smell the mango from far far far far far away

It was the reason why me knew this brand
The smell of mango was sooo sweet and strong that grabbed my attention

I had this tea at an open place
people walked pass would give me a look
Coz they wonder where the smell came from…

I love this shop as well
so elegant
so antique and so modern at the same time

This is my favorite tea

Lychee Black tea

Lychee Black Tea

Picture from flickr – silkway

Went to another friend’s house and she offered me Lychee Black Tea

Even before I took a sip
I could smell the tea already
Very refreshing & Taste really good Just like eating a lychee into your mouth
My friend said it smells like Jasmine though
I guess I like the smell better than the taste coz it feels like Spring…soo sooo nice

Anyway it is a good cup of tea~~

 Little Info:Lychee is a tropical fruit which I thought I can only have in Asia during summer

Surprisingly now they even make it as teaLychee is good for digestion and stop dehydration

however if you eat too much it would cause gum swelling and nose bleeding as well as sore throat
for some people they may suffer from hypoglycemia Have little bit is good
Just don’t eat excess, okay?

I want one more cup of  lychee tea please~~~~

 

Stash tea

Well I didn’t notice that the tea that I bought is from Stash tea
even though I drink everyday when I go  for lecture (if I don’t bring my own one)
I quite enjoying this cup of tea

My usual drink is English Breakfast
the reason that I kind of enjoy this cup of tea is because I just realised that the tea still taste good after one hour even though it is cold

I was surprised because the one I got Twining at home
you don’t even want to taste or drink it if you leave it for long
Still, the Stash English Breakfast tastes really good
Have a strong taste of the tea 

So i decided to check out the Stash teaStash English breakfast vs Twinning English Breafast

	Twining	Stash
Ingredients	-          Kenyan -          Assam	-          Ceylon Tea (Sri Lanka) -          Malty Assam -          Smooth Nilgiri -          Full bodied Keemun

as it said on the website – distinctive, strong rich tea I totally agree

Best milk tea~1

So, this is my favorite way drinking the milk tea.
Usually we will have it in hot, but I like it when I drink in cold.

Yes, in cold, but guess what, you don’t get ice into the tea though.
Look at the following pictures.

It is called Iced Milk Tea

The reason that you don’t add ice into the drink is because the tea will not be that strong, it loses the flavour of it or dilute the taste of the milk or the tea.
So, to put the ice outside, not only keep the drink cold but also keeping the real flavour of it.

Next entry I will let you know another way to keep the flavour to stay and you would enjoy a better cup of tea as well.
