things i love:: a good cuppa tea

my classes are mostly in the evenings which means that i get the whole day to play. i craft, i read, i shop, i hang out with my girls, i fight with muu and sometimes on particularly luxurious afternoons... 

i lounge around the house..

in my comfiest pjs and a cuppa tea.
of course with my laptop in tow.

i still miss my dainty tea cups back home...
but i make up for it with a whole collection of fancy teas! 
here are a few of my favorites!

 my japanese teas (from left to right):: 
matcha green tea, iced green tea bags, sakura tea from muji
tropical summer japanese tea & yuzu tea


little tin jars:: 
jasmine tea from kolkatta, marie antoinette tea gifted from jenn
strawberry tea from fortnum & mason.


the grains::
corn tea & barley tea

can you tell which one is muu's favorite? he loves barley tea days cos he gets a little treat of boiled barley bits!! he sits in the kitchen watching the pot bubble! its kinda cute.

we love our basic teas too! we always have a bottle of oolong & green tea in the fridge... 

are you a coffee or tea kinda gal??

  1. I'm usually a coffee person. I like mine with just a pinch of sugar and NO CREAM. I'm the same with my tea! When I visited England, I got offered tea ALL THE TIME, but when I told them how I like it, they thought I was strange! :)

  2. Tea! I don't take coffee at all. When you're back, you have to swing by The Studio for a cuppa :) My favorite teas are green tea with brown rice, white teas, earl grey. I prefer the lighter versions versus the black and red teas or those that are too fruity.

  7. White teas are nice! Don't quite know how to describe it but I think you'll like it! It's not as tannic and strong as the black or red teas. Mmm. Will your mom head up before I see you in Dec?

  9. i used to drink a lot of coffee, but i am now definitely in the tea camp! i have various kinds of exotic teas as well which make me very happy (or relaxed, or awake, pick one!)...i'm now on the lookout for pretty teacups! i saw ones from T2 in Oz ages ago - giant Turkish-style ones - but couldn't bring myself to spend almost AUS$20/teacup+saucer...sigh.

  10. I Think I'm a bit of an odd ball. I love my daily latte fix and sometimes at night, I'll get the husband to brew some Chinese tea on his fancy tea set! Strange, I know.

  13. Oh wow! You've already finished the light bulb honey? Was it yummy?! I'm almost done with my Nina's - it's almost time for a refill! We should check out the store to see what other flavors they have! I imagine it to be this great wonderland of tea :)
