My house guest has officially departed. Which means back to normal life for us. Which also means more “me” time. For me that includes not just drinking tea but writing about tea too. It also means creating with tea and believe it or not activities unrelated to tea. I am certain there were a gasp or two when reading that. Let… Read more →

Matcha vs Sencha Challenge Day 6
Rough start today. Son woke up kind of early and I was so tired from all the craziness from yesterday that I truly wanted to just stay in bed. Of course this is never an option for the mom on the go. So I get up against my own good judgement and soldier on. It helps that on the ride… Read more →
Matcha vs Sencha Challenge Day 5
I’ll make this one quick. I plan on tomorrow’s post to be the final of the daily series. I will still continue the challenge for an entire month and will post once a week until the month is up. I would have continued daily but I’ll be honest it is a bit much for me plus I don’t think there… Read more →
Matcha vs Sencha Challenge Day 4
“One of the most predictable thing about life is just how unpredictable it really is.” I am sure this quote originated somewhere more amazing then where I first heard it which was in the Disney movie Ratatouille.

The information I will be providing is purely based on my experiences and my interpretation of the results I have achieved. I have hydrated with water just as most do. However, I currently… Read more →
Obsessed With Green
No, I’m not talking about money. Although I wouldn’t mind an extra few bucks. What I am talking about is…Green Tea. Like many of you, I go through moods where I drink a particular tea constantly and then when the wind blows just right I switch to something new a few weeks or months down the line. These days I… Read more →
It’s True…I Ate My Sencha
Please don’t cringe. It all sort of happened by accident and because of my inability to restrain myself. Yesterday during our bi-weekly “Ladies of Tea Trade” Google+ Hangout I decided to finally partake in an indulgence so graciously provided by @Jopj. It was a vibrant, deep emerald green Sencha. The leaves were thin and almost silky in appearance. Just looking… Read more →
