Feb 12, 2017 – Tea and cake

Glasgow, Scotland, taken on February 11, 2017

Tinian makes the best cakes and I’m always happy to be invited as her guinea pig whenever she experiments with a new one. This time we had rose tea as well for a perfect night in!

Dec 26, 2016 – [Monday] Anything Goes: Morning tea

Guangzhou, China, taken on December 25, 2016

Tea and dim sum is a tradition of the Cantonese people and we like to have them in the morning, afternoon, evening…any time, pretty much. What better way to spend Christmas morning than having morning tea with a friend that I haven’t seen in a while? Sipping on some Pu’er tea as I wait for her to arrive…

September 11, 2014 – Tea set

Sipping some hot green tea at the restaurant while waiting for my friend’s arrival, and I’m glad I didn’t make the mistake of pouring the contents of the little teapot into the cup, as the teapot actually contained soy sauce, not tea!

Even without going out to yum cha, it’s still easy to make some good “tieguanyin” tea at home for the afternoon.

January 23, 2014 – Teapot

No rain nor clean-up job was going to stop me from going to “Les Mots Bleus”, my favourite café in Bordeaux, this afternoon. The tea I ordered was called “Nuits Blanches à Saint Petersbourg”…sleepless nights in Saint Petersbourg? Sounds exotic. I usually order some sort of coffee or at least something cold, but today I felt like hot tea, strangely. “Les Mots Bleus”…words of blue. Melancholy.
