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?💚🍵

🍁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 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! ⁣

Need dessert ideas for Thanksgiving? I know I’ll be spending a lot of time with friends for lunch, dinner and tea and I’ll need to cook & bake quite a bit. ⁣
This Hojicha yoghurt cake is a favorite and will be the star for tea time! (Recipe: link in bio)⁣
💡Although I prefer this one with Hojicha powder, if you don’t have any you can also replace with Matcha!

✨NEW POST - Pistachio Matcha Latte Recipe✨ (link in bio)⁣
🍵For this #matchamonday I wanted to share this crazy good Matcha latte recipe with homemade pistachio milk. It’s really easy to make and soooooo delicious. The umami in Matcha complements beautifully with pistachio flavor.⁣
⁣
💡If I ever open a tea shop, please remind me to add this on the menu, it would be a best seller!⁣
⁣
Have you tried pistachio milk?

Da Yu Ling is one of Taiwan’s most prized teas. It is grown at an altitude of over 2500 meters in one of the highest plantations of the word. This high mountain Oolong is creamy, floral and has some vegetable notes, it has light-medium body and a lingering floral aftertaste. So special and complex...⁣
⁣
Da Yu Ling Oolong has a characteristic (positively) intoxicating aroma that’s hard to describe... something between floral/asparagus/cooked greens/eggy/marine. Can’t put the exact words on it. Anybody else here with me? ⁣
⁣
Taiwanese Oolong aroma might be one of my favorite things ever! Is there an aroma that ‘positively intoxicates’ you?

When I’m craving Chinese green teas, I go for the for delicate ones.⁣
🌷Delicate teas deserve delicate and beautiful teaware too!⁣
⁣
This lovely Lu An Gua Pian from @mastersteas is such a delicate tea. Grassy and a bit vegetal with a sliiiight toastiness. It has a light, smooth texture with a bright finish.⁣
🌱The leaves are quite big, loosely twisted, with a light and dark green coloring which fully unfurl after brewing.⁣
⁣
🤔Do you sometimes pair teas with certain teaware?

✨NEW POST - I hosted a virtual tea party with some tea blogger friends and I was in charge of the tea sandwiches. We all made recipes for the party and we created a lovely menu with English scones, mini pecan pies and mini apple cider donuts.⁣
I made 2 recipes for tea sandwiches: Chicken roasted red pepper & Lapsang Souchong, walnut and vegan cream cheese. The first is a traditional Chilean sandwich and the second was developed especially for this party and thinking of pleasing more people. ⁣
⁣
Check out the post about the tea party, recipes and links for the full menu (link in bio). ⁣
Thanks for joining me @teaaholic , @teathoughts and @pinchmeimeating !⁣
⁣
And since I made the tea sandwiches, I wonder what’s YOUR favorite tea sandwich?

This is a staple! A tea that every tea lover must have. A crowd pleaser and a tea addict converter!
I’m talking about Milk Oolong (Jin Xuan). Do you agree?

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.
