Great green tea from Japan. It’s so delicate that it will probably go very wrong if the brewing time or temperature is not controlled properly. I am happy that the brewing temperature I use for the tea is just right! :) The liquor has a beautiful jade colour, with my favourate vegetal scent of hay that is unique to Japanese green tea! I find the fragrance really calming. Taste-wise it’s mellow, on the sweet side, with an umami finish. Nothing can be better than having a cup of good Japanese tea before starting Japanese revision in the morning… ;)

A devilish girl who lives up to the post-80s youth stereotype – hedonistic, frivolous and rebellious – except I love traditional afternoon tea rather than a quick caffeine fix at Starbucks.

I make a living off others’ criminal activities. It’s a busy job and I really wish I could retire, so I can become a full-time afternoon tea connoisseur instead. :j

I love any tea that has nice scent, great flavour and lovely packaging. My current top favourite brands are Mariage Freres, T2, and THE O DOR. ;)

I am now practising mindfulness as a way of living. I decide to use tea tasting as a means to meditate in my daily life. My tasting notes here will therefore be my meditation notes :)

I’ve got no time to update my Pinterest and blog since I became a mom. Nevertheless, if you feel curious, you are most welcomed to visit these abandoned pages:
