mint tea

I drink mint tea these days, because there is mint in the front of our apartment. Just add several leaves and pour boiled water on it. It makes me refreshed.

watashi

I stayed at home today because it's raining all day, even though today was holiday. So, I ate some Japanese sweets with tea(genmai-cha).

kaki tea

This tea attracted my attention today. "kaki no ha", the leave of Japanese persimmon. I love the fruit, but I think I've never drunk the tea. It's not exactly tea leaves, but it's drinkable. I don't know that kaki leaves has some utilities, but smell not bad. It's subdued, but I like it.

nuwara eliya

I'm sipping nuwara eliya tea now. Nuwara eliya is grown in Sri Lanka and it's in season now. It has a sharp astringent taste and little flowery. You should drink it with no milk.

darjeeling first flush

I've tasted darjeeling after years! This time, I bought a Puttabong. one of nice darjeeling tea gardens. I'm not familiar with Puttagong, personally. but I knew the name as a great garden. The darjeeling was wonderful smelling. It made me feel breezy.

red espresso!?

I sometimes think it can be a espresso made with tea leaves though, Here it is! Red espresso! it's a tea espresso. To be more exact, it's not tea leaves. it's made from Rooibos. and Actually you can brew it with espresso machine. very interesting. I wanna try it how taste it is.
