O’Sulloc. Jeju Island Dream Green Tea.

Lupicia. White Christmas.
With a new tea cup I bought in Italy! :-) I’ve always thought Hermes tea cups were so elegant, and I finally bought some!
And for the choice of tea… Well, it’s way too far from Christmas, but it was the only decent tea bag I could find in my cupboard.. and I was too lazy to go for a leaf tea.

Lupicia.  楽園.
Long time no update! I’m finally back from Italy…

Sorry for not uploading anything for a month now… Currently I’m doing a study abroad in Italy, and I don’t have the best set-up for tea times… I will be traveling around several cities throughout the semester, so I had to leave my teacups back home in LA :-( Plus, I don’t have 24/7 access to tea leaves or boiling water, which is crazy indeed. Right now, the best tea I can make is with a teabag in somewhat hot water!

I’m definitely drinking a lot of coffee now as an alternative, so maybe I will just start posting pictures of coffees, or see how the kitchen will be when I get to Como in late March / early April.

Meanwhile, you can take a look at some pictures I’ve taken in Rome on my other tumblr, if you are interested. This tumblr doesn’t have a specified theme like this one; it’s just about all random stuff happening in my life.

Lupicia. りんご麦茶.
My mom used to give me barley tea every day when I was little, but apple flavored barley tea…? Sounded a bit strange at first, but it is surprisingly good! :-) Apple fragrant is actually not that strong. Also good as iced tea.

Lupicia. Cookie.
This is what I drink when I crave for sugar at night.. It smells really sugary, so it makes me feel like I’m eating something sweet even though I’m not :-)

Lupicia. Hibiscus & Cinnamon.
It sounded like a very strange combination to me, and I’m not going to lie, it was..

Teavana. Honey Bush Vanilla.
This is not a good photo, but at least I’m uploading something, I guess :-/It’s not that I don’t drink tea anymore, but I just haven’t had time for official tea times with nice tea cups and such.. 4th year Architecture studio kind of keeps me busy.

Twining’s. The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Commemorative Blend.
Not too malty, not too fragrant.. The perfect balance! :)

Fortnum & Mason. Royal Blend.
Blend of Assam and Ceylon, it smells kind of leafy (if it makes any sense..). I like it better with some milk :)
