Thé Blanc

The past few days seem to have drained me out, and tomorrow I am still covering for someone at work.. oh well. I did manage to have my tea still :) But I'm still worried about the water at work. sigh. Anyhow, let's talk about something nicer, like the tea I am drinking now! I am drinking white tea from Lipton. It's loose leaves in a triangle teabag. It has a slightly peachy taste, I think they added some peach stuff to it. It's kinda sweet, one of the reasons why I really like it, yet no sugar added.

So there it is, my cup of tea :D Behind it you can see my messy table :p Complete with my blue/black new balance arm wallet which I fell in love with at first sight. And at the other side, my adidas black wrist wallet which I really like too, but when I run with it, it gets kind of irritating, so I prefer my arm wallet :)


Ok, here's a closeup of the label and tea bag, I just love their packaging! As with most teas, the packaging is usually very pretty and I have to resist from buying everything on the shelf :p But I must say, Marks and Spencer's tea packaging... sucks :p It just looks so boring, no wonder they are not making money.. I do love their cookies though hahaha

Twinings speciality tea

Oh no, I just saw the new range of Twinings tea and I can't resist getting it!!! Only that I don't think its sold in Singapore... :( But I can still ogle at the pretty packaging right? Perhaps I will go to cold storage to check it out later... Where can I get such funky teas??

I know that to get all sorts of chinese tea I can go to the chinese tea houses.. but other weird kinds of teas? bb's dad brought back some real African rooibos tea for me before, I will talk about it another time :D Perhaps can get bb to get some Indian tea if he goes over !

Random tea

ahhh... a random pic I took at a restaurant of my cup of english tea and a hot cross bun in the back ground.
The tea was good, but umm.. I can't say the same of the hot cross bun. Pity though, cos they put them all in some big basket and it looked really yummy. But when I ate it, it was not only not hot, it was cold. And hard. And kinda tasteless.. ok nevermind, I did enjoy the tea and went for more rounds ;)

My Yixing teacup!

Alright, a proper post! I just took a picture of my yixing tea cup! The photo is bad... the lighting is terrible sorry, but it's the best I can do.



ahh yeh my mum bought that cup for me, it's colour is actually very nice... It is fired, so it has a hue of blue... I guess I will take a better picture when its daylight. I've been drinking greet tea, jasmine tea, white tea, black tea, oolong tea etc... chinese teas with this cup. Somehow it's very therapeutic.

I like tea!!! I just have to drink at least one type everyday...
