I’m always amazed by how you can get so many different tea types and varieties from the Camellia Sinensis plant. It’s crazy to think how many factors affect the making of each tea. The climate, altitude, plucking, processing... Looking at these beautiful tea leaves is a true example of this. They differ so much between them, and the liquor they produce it’s a world apart too. And to think again that they all come from the same plant!!! Can you guess which are the 4 teas in the photo? (All great teas from @yunnan_sourcing )

A cup of tea is never just a cup of tea... It’s the time and focus behind preparing it, the aroma and flavor notes inside it, and the mindset and feelings around it.
I’m currently enjoying this Quimen Caixia by @mastersteas . Such a delicate black tea... smooth, sweet, floral and slightly mineral and smoky. It’s the perfect tea for those who enjoy lighter teas and want to approach black teas.

What’s your favorite black tea? I love Chinese black teas!

💫 New post alert - Hojicha Overnight Oats (link in bio)💫 I’m starting this Monday with one of my favorite breakfast recipes, one of those comfort food things... This recipe is GF, vegan, refined sugar free and sooo easy to make!
Hojicha adds a nutty/toasty flavor to these overnight oats and it works perfectly well with other ingredients like almond butter and coconut.

Ahhhhhhh Hojicha, I love love love it! Have you tried baking or cooking with it?

Monday mornings are for Matcha. Nothing like the boost Matcha provides for mornings, especially on a Monday! I’ve never ever drank coffee but I know many people like the caffeine high. I would love to invite those people to try Matcha instead, and see the difference. Matcha gives you a more steady, calm alertness, longer lasting than coffee.

I’d love to hear some opinions this #matchamonday about how coffee drinkers who also drink Matcha feel the difference.

I got seriously into tea when I was a teenager and was blown away when I first tried green tea (a very crappy one!). Back home there weren’t many options besides ‘the local Lipton’, so I started exploring and buying tea in my travels. I knew there had to be better things out there!⁣
⁣
I often think of that strong, bitter and flat tasting green tea in a tea bag that captivated me, when I’m drinking a good cup of green tea. How little did I know! Since then, I’ve been fortunate to try amazing teas and still I have a ton to drink and learn.⁣
⁣
If you like green teas, then this is a wonderful one to try. Huang Shan Mao Feng by @mastersteas - This is one of China’s most famous teas, recognized as high-quality due to its delicate pluck (usually a bud and adjacent leaf) and manufacture. It is such a smooth, buttery, fresh tea, with delicate floral, light marine and grassy notes. The dry leaves have a grassy and green apple aroma.⁣
It’s a great tea for any time of the day.⁣
⁣
Do you enjoy delicate green teas?

𝐓𝐞𝐚 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: ⁣
⁣
Africa was a big coffee region but started growing tea in the 1850’s. Most African teas are strong and full bodied, used mainly for teabags and blends.⁣
⁣
Malawi is the second largest producer of tea in Africa. In the past, Malawi mostly produced CTC (cut-tear-curl) teas characterized by their bright color and rich, bold flavor. More recently, producers began to manufacture specialty teas, resulting in delicate white teas and mild green teas.
Have you tried tea from Malawi? (If you don’t know, you still might have in a blend, etc., but since labeling and information is not always clear in the tea industry, we won’t know for sure 🤷🏻‍♀️)

✨𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐚 𝐯𝐬 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐚 - New post on the blog ✨ (link in bio) Angie from @pathofcha talks about the main differences between them. We all know that Matcha is a green tea, right? Learn about how they differ in cultivation, processing and preparation.

When do you usually drink Matcha and green tea?

I’ll be soon diving into some 1st and 2nd flush Darjeeling teas from different estates to compare and learn about their differences. I’ve never been too much into black teas but I feel it’s part of my evolution with tea. Once you start diving deep into the different tea types and trying so many varieties of the types you usually do like, it feels like the next step is getting to know better the tea types I’m normally less into. It’s a process and it keeps me learning. ⁣
⁣
Which one do you like best, 1st or 2nd flush Darjeeling black tea?

💫New recipe on the blog: Hojicha Bliss Balls (link in bio) 💫 I love bliss balls, but this recipe I created got me hooked, so I had to share with you! Hojicha is one of my favorite teas to bake with, especially in its powder form. These bliss balls feel so chocolaty even without having any chocolate in them, all thanks to Hojicha. Drop everything and make them now! 😜 Please let me know if you do! Have you made bliss balls before?

Obsessed with my tea books! ⁣😍📚
⁣
These are some of my favorites from my collection but I will get my hands on most tea books that I run into. I love flipping through the pages and looking at the tea fields photos, the leaves, teaware, etc. I always keep them close because I will often go to them for reference. ⁣
⁣
Do you have a favorite tea book?

It’s funny how some people act surprised when I tell them I’m a Tea Sommelier. ‘What is there to know about tea besides that it comes in a bag?’ There’s a whole world about tea. It is often compared to wine because of all the similarities that they share. Terroir, types, varieties, origin, tasting, pairing... ⁣
⁣
I love getting people to know more about this amazing drink, making them curious and showing them how to prepare it, cook with it and pair it. ⁣
⁣
An unconventional way of drinking a blooming tea is in a wine glass, isn’t it beautiful? What are your thoughts about comparing tea and wine?

I’m getting curious about herbs now…I’m currently taking an amazing introductory course at the Herbal Academy to complement my tea education.

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.
