Happy Mid Autumn everyone!
Love tea & chocolate? Then you have to try this Honey Orchid Dancong Oolong Tea Chocolate from @fossachocolate. It's like taking a sip of Milan Xiang and enjoying a piece of milk chocolate. You can definitely detect the floral and guava-like notes from the tea while the creamy chocolatey melts in your mouth.
👋 September! What happened to August?
My companions for a cloudy day: Anji Baicha & the latest edition from @readeighty 🤓
🦆💩+🍑=🍹! That's right. In the glass is cold brewed Ya Shi Xiang (literally translated to duck poo aroma) mixed with homemade peach syrup. The result is a fragrant oolong tea with hints of peaches.
Q. How many times can you steep the tea?
Goodbye July. Hello August.
Just over a year ago @teaepiphany and I piloted our idea at the Vancouver Tea Festival. Little did we know that the @teakan.co Exploration Kit will continue and now on the 4th Volume.
Reunited with my favourite honey from Japan. I love @sugi_bee_garden and this Yuzu Honey is my absolute favourite! It's one of the few things I must buy when visiting Japan.
🍦Matcha soft-serve? Yes please!
How is everyone doing in this heat? I don't remember Vancouver being this hot before and living in a small apartment, we just never felt the need for an AC...until yesterday when it was over 40°C in Burnaby (that's ~105F or 313 kelvins 🤓). Here's how we stayed cooled:
Shi Hua - first harvest from Mengding Mountain. This beautiful tea was part of the Emperor's Tasting Flight from @cultivatetea. When I opened the bag of tea I was immediately drawn to these perfect little buds and had to learn more about it. According to the Cultivate's website, it takes over 10,000 handpicked buds to make 500 grams of finished tea and it is the only tea that served as the tribute tea to the emperor for over one thousand years!
