Tête-à-tête with tea
Love the green
Nothing is as best as a bowl of Matcha to give you energy and boost your mood. In cafes I always like to have a big cup of Matcha latte to revive my energy. Be it a latte or just a simple bowl of warm Matcha, whatever way you drink it, it is just awesome. […]
Tea ceremony: Mariage Freres Paris Breakfast Tea
Our tea of today is a breakfast blend from none other than Mariage Freres. Every tea lover know and perhaps dream to buy tea blended by them. I came to know of them through my tea lover brother. I googled and of course I too fell in love with their diversity and products. Mariage Freres […]
Darjeeling first flush
This time in Kolkata I went to buy tea. I was as confused as I am in a room full of cakes, what to chose. However with cake, I kind of know what I like, but in tea, it is impossible to chose unless you have a basic idea on tea and how it goes. […]

Tea Ceremony: Gyokuro the great
I didn’t know what Gyokuro is, so when Mishael told me, he is trying out Gyokuro I was pretty nonchalant. While I was preparing the photo session, Mishael explained, what Gyokuro really is, and why I should be really excited to taste such amazing tea. I guess he was disgusted to see me unexcited. I […]

It is time for tea. I don’t know about you but I wait all week for Friday. These days I wait for weekend, for more than one reason. Of course one is, it is my only day off in the entire week. Another is for the tea ceremony. I love the time I spend on […]
