T E A T I M E

I was making tea for an afternoon tea and I thought why don't I dedicate a post on my love for tea. My mum thinks I buy way too many kinds of teas and waste a lot of money for it. But who can really have too much tea right? :)

My top teas are down below:

1. EARL GREY / LADY GREY
Oh, that's a hard one. I loved earl grey until someone (mum) swapped my tea with lady grey, in which I noticed by the way. It's got an added fruity note to the amazing earl grey. Straight away I knew I liked it better than earl grey but I can't get earl grey off my list just yet. You know how it is with an old love.

2. Orange Pekoe
I love orange(s). I eat it, I wear it (shirts, watches you name it), I see it everyday in my room (bed sheet,  blanket, storage compartments etc). No need to go on anymore methinks.

3. Caramel (Black Tea - Indonesian)
This is made by Lipton Indonesia. It is something I always buy whenever I visit my hometown. It's great made black or add some milk to make a caramel milk tea. Yum! (In fact, this is what I am drinking right now!)

4. Green Tea with Roasted Rice (Japanese)
I bought this by accident once and was hooked straight away. The aroma of green tea and roasted rice takes you to feel like you're in a traditional temple somewhere in rural Japan (I haven't been to Japan yet but my imagination keeps me happy).  I have totally changed up my green tea with this one since then.

5. Peppermint and Chamomile
Whenever I feel restless and exhausted, I always try to make myself a cup of this. The scent of both combined is like a reassuring call to "Relax. Everything is going to be fine. I am here to get you a good night's sleep."

6. Jasmine Tea
I think tea is served just about anywhere in my country, from a sidewalk/street vendors to an upscale restaurant, and jasmine tea definitely takes the leading role over there. Not to mention the ever-growing import of Teh Botol by Sosro to overseas market. We can't get enough of the sweet-smelling fragrance of Jasmine tea apparently. Not to worry because it's a condition that I truly embrace :)
