    Tea Ceremony: Gyokuro the great

    September 11, 2015 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula

    [ 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.

    Tea Ceremony: Masala Chai Latte ! Nothing exotic today. I had a long journey back home. I felt weak thus thought of having a strong milk tea. Then suddenly realized today is my tea ceremony day. And quickly decided to have a Masala Chai Latte for today’s session. Before I get into details let me tell you, this is the most loved tea of my household.
