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 d 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?
Thinking of my tea goals for 2020. - Lots and lots Thinking of my tea goals for 2020. - Lots and lots of tea tasting and recording my notes.⁣ - More blog posts.⁣ - Drink what I own.⁣ - Experimenting with tea & mixology.⁣ - Sharing tea and spreading the love with as many people as I can!⁣ ⁣ What are your tea goals for this year?
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?⁣ ⁣ *Disclaimer - content for users of legal drinking age only.

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 subscrip 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’ 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?💚🍵

🍁AUTUMN MINDFULNESS🍁⁣ Before all the leave 🍁AUTUMN MINDFULNESS🍁⁣ Before all the leaves turn orange, yellow and brown and fall from the trees, I take a moment to appreciate all the colors in nature, and be mindful. ⁣ Go outside, and if you connect really well, you can also smell Fall, kind of leafy, different than the grassy aroma of spring. Also, feel the temperature in your hands and think of how this makes you feel. ⁣ ⁣ Now go back inside and make some tea. Repeat the process. Look at the colors of the tea leaves, the color of the infusion, smell the dry leaves, then the wet leaves and the infused tea. Feel the warmth of the tea cup in your hands and the liquid inside your mouth and as it goes down your throat. Taste the tea and taste it again. ⁣ ⁣ Tea & meditation is a thing! I was really inspired by one of @beingtea ‘s workshops last weekend. If you can’t be present for one, she does tea meditation sessions online through her Patreon.
Have you ever tried a spiked chai? Some people lik Have you ever tried a spiked chai? Some people like to add Rum or Bourbon to their Masala Chai for a twist, but I found THE best option for a spiked Chai! ⁣ @enjoysomrus has a Chai cream liqueur that makes the perfect one. ⁣ ⁣ Here’s how to do it:⁣ - 3 parts of brewed Masala Chai loose leaf blend (use water only).⁣ - 1 part of Chai cream liquor (this will replace the milk in the Masala Chai and add a fun twist to it).⁣ ⁣ If you love Masala Chai, this is a great cream liqueur to try and gift. There are so many recipes on the Somrus website that I can’t wait to try! ⁣ ⁣ *Disclaimer - content for users of legal drinking age only. Please drink responsibly* #ad

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.
