Xiao Hu Sai Cake The cake in question is a 200g cake from the brand Qin Ai made by the Yun Fu Xiang factory based in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. See below the packaging.

There are many coffee and tea lovers around the world, and the war between the two beverages has been going on for ages. Tea is still leading by being the second most consumed beverage in the world right after water. But this might change soon. Recently coffee farmers have something new that could potentially be a real alternative to tea: Coffee Leaf Tea. As the name already reveals, it’s a tea made from the actual leaves of the coffee plant. Wise Monkey is one of the first companies that attempt to revolutionize the coffee industry with this tea. See their video below: Tea type: tea or tisane? Coffee leaf tea is in fact not a real tea, as it’s not made from the original tea plant called ‘Camellia Sinensis’.

Do You Want a Tea Cocktail Mar-tea-ni or a Bubble Tea with Mixology

teasenz — Fri, 17 Oct 2014 05:24:00 +0000

Tea is the new coffee! As more and more restaurants, cafes and hotels starting to sell more exotic teas, a few of them are now trying to get creative in order to offer something unique. Here are two very good examples: Mar-tea-ni Berkeley’s Asha Tea House (2086 University Ave.) has always been a place for people with different levels of tea appreciation, including teenagers craving sweet boba drinks and connoisseurs who spend hours steeping top-grade high-mountain oolong leaves in a traditional gaiwan. Now there’s something for the boozehounds among us, too: Since August, Asha has been serving a small selection of tea cocktails. The drinks, which are available after 5:30 p.m., offer convincing evidence that tea and alcohol do, in fact, mix — better than you might imagine. Bubble Tea with Mixology The Frozen Old […]

Flowering tea (Also called blooming tea or tea flower) has quickly gained worldwide popularity not only because of its rich taste and flavor but also largely due to the sophisticated and unique beauty and artistry that it displays. While the detailed story about the advent of this tea remains an enticing mystery, we all know that flowering tea, like many other tea varieties, hails from southwestern China’s Fujian province, where tea artisans start picking fresh tea leaves still damp with the morning dew while the sun has just barely risen over the tea gardens. Every tea leaf is hand-sewn with delicate cotton threads into a small bundle with dried exquisite flowers at the center, explicitly creating an extraordinary masterpiece and mesmerizing story to be unraveled during steeping. Why They Make Ideal Presents for Any Occasion With the flowering […]
