In my everyday tea-drinking, I am learning that you can play with how the outcome of your steeped tea will taste. The key word is to adjust the measurement and steeping time depending on how you want your tea: pale or strong, tastier or creamier, hot or cold…. I was excited to try this tea the first time I had this. But turned out I didn’t steeped it long enough and didn’t put enough leaves to get the taste I was expecting… In short, I was disappointed. But being a person who don’t give up easily (aside from the fact that I don’t want to just throw it away-waste of money), I tried it again… This time I added more leaves and steeped it longer (experimenting is free). My verdict is it tasted better than the first time and the smell is stronger ( chocolate, hmm). Just finished the bag of 25 grams but no plans of stocking because I think I can live without it…. So far, the Red Velvet Cake is still the best black tea for me…. Happy drinking, tea-lovers!

Tea-lover, tea-explorer…

Growing up, I never know anything about tea. No one told me about tea and I never encounter tea until last 2012 during my school break-time when I was wandering in the mall and saw this then famous Teopia. I tried a cup (can’t remember what kind of tea) and right there and then, I decided I want to get healthy and I will drink tea from now on… So being an impulsive shopper, I ended up leaving the store with a starter kit – infuser, measuring spoon and 50 grams of green tea. Since then every time I came across a tea store, I will not go out without buying a tea pouch or tea tins.
I am trying to consume a cup or more a day with different types but mostly green or white and continuously exploring.
Loves to drink green and white tea and keeps my tea-shelf “updated” with new and most-drank and most-rated teas. I discovered that I can’t tolerate teas containing mint and citrus/citric acid. I’m gradually trying some black teas as some makes my stomach acidic. Tried Oolong and decided to not have much of it in my cupboard. Puerh is really a no-no for me because of the taste and smell. But who knows I might find one that will change my preference in the future.
I joined Steepster to benefit me from what I love doing at present: tea-drinking, tea-exploring and tea-etc…

Simple, friendly and outgoing, with a positive attitude, I like malling, net surfing, watching movies and reading.
