C’est ne pas parfait! I have never liked tea with rosehip or hibiscus. It’s in The Book of Tea for Ladies, so I gave it a try anyway. The dry leaves smelled so acidic that I decided to keep the steep time short. Perhaps because of the insufficient steep time, the resulting liquor was weak-bodied. It was like a diluted tomato soup… with a faint floral undercurrent. It tasted just as weird as it sounds…
A devilish girl who lives up to the post-80s youth stereotype – hedonistic, frivolous and rebellious – except I love traditional afternoon tea rather than a quick caffeine fix at Starbucks.
I make a living off others’ criminal activities. It’s a busy job and I really wish I could retire, so I can become a full-time afternoon tea connoisseur instead. :j
I love any tea that has nice scent, great flavour and lovely packaging. My current top favourite brands are Mariage Freres, T2, and THE O DOR. ;)
I am now practising mindfulness as a way of living. I decide to use tea tasting as a means to meditate in my daily life. My tasting notes here will therefore be my meditation notes :)
I’ve got no time to update my Pinterest and blog since I became a mom. Nevertheless, if you feel curious, you are most welcomed to visit these abandoned pages:

Si c’est parfait n’est pas parfait …I won’t try it ! Definitively not in the mood for a tea-tomato soup :)
