Hi everyone! 🌈💫⁣ During these hard times,

Hi everyone! 🌈💫⁣
During these hard times, l find that relying on something from my old routine helps me feel grounded.⁣
⁣
Of course, since one of my favorite things is tea, I try to keep my tea routine by preparing Matcha, enjoying the whole ceremonial side of it, and I also try to enjoy a cup of tea in silence or find time for a gong-fu session.⁣
⁣
What are some of the things from your old routine that help you ‘keep it together’? 📸: @brendarobles @loft_329

Hi Teaple!!! I’ve missed this. It has been too c

Hi Teaple!!! I’ve missed this. It has been too crazy lately but we need to adapt and stay positive! I’ve been enjoying lots of tea, especially black teas for a change. I would love to know what have you been drinking lately (Comment ⤵️)⁣
⁣
➡️ I’ve got a question for you: Do you know that Lapsang Souchong can be smoky and non smoky? The process of making both is quite similar, however the smoked version has its leaves dried by smoking pine wood. This makes the aroma and taste quite different.⁣
⁣
I love both versions. I especially love to cook with the smoky version and enjoy a cup of the non smoky one. ⁣
On the non smoky one, you can sense all of the tea’s depth and complexity. It is sweet, with honey and sweet potato notes. A true delight!

❓➡️Do you know how much caffeine is there in white tea? ⁣
⁣
This is a topic that got me to investigate a bit because there is too much conflicting information out there. Many many many brands will mislead customers and advertise white tea as having the least amount of caffeine of all teas. Because of its light color and flavor, most people don’t know and fall for this. ⁣
The truth is, the answer is not that simple. There are several types of white tea and there are various factors that make caffeine higher. ⁣
⁣
If you want to learn more about this topic, read my blog post (link in bio).⁣
⁣
Did you know that a Silver Needle White tea could even have more caffeine than a Chinese black tea?

I have a thing for pen & paper. Making lists, note

I have a thing for pen & paper. Making lists, notes, etc. I am not great at journaling but I do love tasting teas and keeping notes about them.⁣
I write about their leaves: wet & dry, aroma, flavor profiles and notes and I record the differences between 1st, 2nd and 3rd infusions. I also try to rate them.⁣
⁣
For example, when I write about tea tasting I’ll write something like this, but will develop a bit more:⁣
This Ruby Black Taiwanese tea has medium sized dry leaves that smell like cocoa. When brewed, it has a slight minty yet cinnamon aroma, and it has sweet yet mineral notes. It has a smooth texture and light-medium body.⁣
⁣
Do you like writing or making notes about things? What do you usually write about?

Have you tried brewing tea in a Yixing clay pot? I

Have you tried brewing tea in a Yixing clay pot? I’m having a lovely Bai Hao (Oriental Beauty) in it today.⁣
⁣
Original Yixing pots are rich in minerals and react with the tea to make it taste smoother. It is great at holding the tea’s temperature (you need to warm it first!) and it absorbs the tea essences over time and it ‘seasons’ your tea!⁣
⁣
If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so. Taste the same tea side by side in a yixing pot and a glass or porcelain gaiwan/pot to compare the differences of different brewing vessels.⁣
⁣
What’s your favorite tea to brew in a Yixing pot?

Ahhhh Matcha Latte 🍵🥛... such a comforting drink. ⁣
⁣
There are several ways to make one. Mostly milk, 1/2 milk 1/2 water, different types of milk, add ons, etc.⁣
⁣
My go-to preparation is 1/2 water, 1/2 milk, with oat or almond milk and a touch of maple syrup.
How do you prepare yours?

Masala Chai lovers, here’s the ultimate grown up

Masala Chai lovers, here’s the ultimate grown up treat 😜! If you’re like me and love anything Masala Chai then you’ll love this Chai cream liqueur. ⁣
⁣
When I tried it, I could picture myself in front of a fireplace at night, sitting there and drinking this Chai liqueur, looking at the snow through the window. It gave me that cozy feeling...⁣
⁣
I also loved spiking my hot tea with it for the ultimate masala chai drink.⁣
⁣
This Chai cream liqueur makes a fantastic gift too, so unique! There are so many cocktail recipes I want to try with it, and some sweet treats too.⁣
⁣
What’s your favorite tea cocktail?⁣

Making some time for a small tea session today. 📴📵 A #mindfulmoment ⁣
Just listen to what’s around, enjoy the silence, get in touch with your senses and be present. That’s my tea treat for today!⁣

Do you have a specific tea that you drink as a special treat?🙌🏼

🎊Happy international tea day! 🎉⁣ ⁣ It is

🎊Happy international tea day! 🎉⁣
⁣
It is officially celebrated since 2005 but it started in response to the 1998 tea industry crisis during a serial closing of several tea gardens because of continuous fall of tea prices in the international market. It was introduced by several tea producing countries who wanted to draw global attention to the industry and fair trade.⁣
⁣
Today, I celebrate international tea day the best way I can, drinking lots of tea (having a dark Oolong crazy crave lately) and making some for my family too! 💚🌱⁣
⁣
What will you be drinking today to celebrate?⁣

One of my favorite things to gift are tea subscriptions, and @tea.sparrow has a very special one! 🎁⁣
⁣
They taste dozens of teas 🌱 a month and choose the blends that inspire them the most 💫, all made with natural ingredients and flavors. ⁣
⁣
In this month’s box I got a Raspberry Vanilla Rooibos blend that quickly became a favorite for the family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. My kids are obsessed with it (they’re 4 and almost 3!). They like it hot with a bit of maple sugar and I drink it cold brewed. ⁣
⁣
With the subscription, you’ll get 4 great quality teas every month, blends and single estate teas. They also have different options to choose from (caffeinated box, original box, herbal box and tea bags).⁣
⁣
For anyone who likes tea and loves to discover new blends, this subscription is for you! You still have time to get a gift certificate and give the gift of tea to someone special 💞. #ad⁣

Happy #matchamonday 🍵 tea people!⁣
⁣
Let’s talk about sifting. Some people might think this is an unnecessary extra step but TRUST me it make a difference. Sifting Matcha prevents clumps to form and makes a creamier, frothier Matcha.⁣
Personally, I struggle with food texture sometimes, and Matcha clumps throw me completely off!⁣
⁣
Do you sift your Matcha?💚🍵

BREWING TIP:

One of my favorite ways to brew loose leaf tea is with this Simple Brew infuser teapot. It lets the leaves ‘dance’ and unfurl with all the space they need.
