This Town

Hey you!

So today I’m going to choose something that make me feel relaxed and gives me a good feeling. Because of that the tea of the day is … A Cozy Cup. It’s a blend of:  rooibos, chamomile, peppermint and spearmint. I like adding a little lemongrass to this combination; and for some of you, you might like to try it with a little vanilla. It’s delicious, design to calm and relax you. It will definitely feel like a warm embrace, and having someone to share with might make this tea taste even better.

Now for the song we have Kygo’s new single featuring Sasha Sloan, a sweet and calm ballade full of good vocals and euphoric beats. It’s called “This Town” and it seems to be about wanting to have some adventures with the one you love, an open road, an ocean view. It’s a show and heartwarming tune that fits perfect with a cup of tea in your hand, the one you love next to you and some perfect moments. That’s it, now…

Starlight Filled Our Minds

Hey guys!

I woke up this morning hearing the rain and it gave me a state of calm and tranquility and I decided to pair it up with a green tea and a post-rock track, I hope you’ll  enjoy them. The tea is called a Fruta Bomb and it’s a sweet and soothing blend of: green tea, candied papaya pieces, apple pieces, carrot pieces, lemongrass, marigold petals, raisins. It can contain peach but since I don’t like them I prefer not to mix them in the blend. This tea creates a burst of flavor that’s perfect either hot or with ice.

And like I said before the song is going to be a post-rock one. I actually discovered the tune this morning, and I was completely impressed with it. It’s slow and it doesn’t agitate you and it feels like the perfect melody for raining weather. It’s called “Starlight Filled Our Minds” and it’s by 4 UK guys doing by the name Blanket. It’s a stunning song that seems to fill me up with good vibes and calm that it was just what I was looking for.

Inspiration

Hey you!

So today I think I found just the right song for you and I hope you like it. It’s called “Inspiration” and it’s an EDM, dance track, almost future bass but not quite ;), by Unknown Brain featuring Aviella. The beats are pretty amazing and the drops seem to be just the right amount of low and heavy, it’s quite calming to me and they make me just wanna dream more. Aviella’s vocals are amazing as well, her voice sounding a little childish but it really works. Plus the lyrics are inspiring indeed, “Baby you can count on me now/ When you’re falling down” and „I’ll be your heart and temptation/ Cause I know that you’ll make it on your own” being my favorite.

And for the tea, I’ve created a new blend and I call it Hug In A Cup. All the ingredients in this tea are supposed to give you a calm and relaxed vibe; it’s something that will make you feel comfortable, give you a sense of happiness and wrap you up in a worm and sweet embrace. This tea is a combination of:  rooibos, chamomile, stevia leaf, rose petals, cornflower and just a pinch of lemongrass. It’s perfect for any time of day, especially when you want to unwind.

Sight To The Blind

Hey guys!

Today we are going to listen to a new post-rock track that I’ve found. It’s called “Sight To The Blind” and it’s by the Canadian band Inward Oceans. This is a sweet and soft piano melody that gives you an sense of calm; it really relaxes me and makes me less anxious about life and all the problems in it. This tune is one of those ones that makes you appreciate the little things in the world and it’s easy to fall in love with it and you can listen to it for hours without getting bored.

As for the tea, I’m thinking that a white tea might be a nice paring for this perfect melody and I think I have the perfect one. I call it White Garden and the blend is a combination of this ingredients: peony flowers, rose petals, blackberries, raspberries, rhubarb and of course white tea. Smooth and relaxing with a full body aroma that is to die for, what else could you want in life!?!

Kisses and Go drink your tea, I’m already drinking mine.

Electric Indigo

Hey guys!

Today I am listening to “Electric Indigo” by the Australian indie-rock band The Paper Kites. It’s a slow track that makes you reflect in your life, it has that certain something that just keeps you relaxed. It’s full of soft noises and it feels like a midnight lullaby. Plus the vocals make me feel like I’m somewhere between a state of dream and the most beautiful dawn I can imagine.

As for the tea… I’m drinking a new blend I created, and I’m going to name it Sweet Red Mate. It has a little bit of: green mate, chamomile, cranberries, hibiscus, bacopa and rose petals. I added just a pinch of sugar & ice and the taste magically transformed on something even better.

Kisses and Go drink your tea, I’m already drinking mine.

Lullaby Love

Hey you!

I know that this week might have been a hard one and because of that I’m going to let you listen to a lullaby that’s about peace. It’s by Roo Panes, an indie, folk artist form the UK, and it’s called “Lullaby Love”. It’s a mellow track that gives you a sense of calm and you can slowly find yourself in this melody. For me this song is about finding life thru settling with something, letting go of the anxiety and feeling more alive. Plus this part of the tune really resonates with me “When this heart's too old for dreaming,/ That's when I hear the angels sing your lullaby.”

And now for the tea, I’m going to share with you one of my own blends specially made for having a relaxing and calm night sleep or just unwind after a long and exhausting day. I’ve named it Peace of the Mind and it’s the perfect combination of chamomile, lavender, rose petals and bacopa.  It has an aroma and smell that will make you forget about your troubles.

Kisses and Go drink your tea, I’m already drinking mine.

The Other Side

Hey guys!

Today I am listening to Ruelle’s new track “The Other Side”. This is more of a slow, sad-ish song that has that certain something. It’s a hunting and mesmerizing tune with her beautiful, powerful voice and that piano playing. I’ve got to say thru all the emotion of the melody, this have to be my favorite lyrics: “I don't want to know what it's like to live without you/ Don't want to know the other side of a world without you”

As for the tea, I’m thinking that something that has lavender might be the perfect pairing. And I’ve found the perfect blend; it’s called Lavender Crème Herbal Tea. The tea is a perfect combination of: cocoa nibs, rooibos, fig pieces, cocoa shells, caramel pieces, cardamom, lavender flowers, and marigold petals. You can add some vanilla to this mixture too and it might even make it better.

Kisses and Go drink your tea, I’m already drinking mine.

Use Me

Hey guys!

Remember Goo Goo Dolls? They have a new single out, it’s called “Use Me” and it’s a pretty great track. I’ve been listening to it all morning and I quite enjoy it. This is a slow track filled with good lyrics that talk about a love that isn’t quite right, but they enjoy it nonetheless. I especially like the drums kicking at the chorus; it seems to bring the song together.

As for the tea, I’m choosing a rooibos one called Relax. It’s a blend that you can enjoy at any hours of the day, one that will give a state of calm and let’s not forget that it can also have a lot of benefits for your body too. Plus it’s not just rooibos it also contains: blackberries leaves, pieces of orange & lemon, corn cockle flowers and sunflower petals.

Hidden Beneath

Hey!

I woke up this morning in the best way possible but since then all I wanna do is sleep. And because of that today’s song in going to be something slow, easy to listen and for those of you still in school or college it’s going to be a track that you can study to. It’s called “Hidden Beneath” and it’s by Message To Bears, an post-rock, ambient band from the UK. No matter the mood you find yourself in this song can either elevate you or just relax you even more. Just with a few cords that seem to be on a repeating loop and even less drum kicks you can imagine yourself standing in a field of grass just looking at the sky.

As for the tea, I think that a red one might be the perfect pair of this comforting melody. My choice is going to be the Lemon Biscottea, a refreshing tea with a divine taste of fresh spring flowers and lemon. This is a wonderful blend of: rooibos, honey bush, lemon peel, lemon balm, lemongrass, jasmine flower, agrimony herb, marshmallow root and just a little more lemon. It’s a perfect beverage hot as well as cold for those warm days that are to come.

Daydream

Hey guys!

I was thinking that today we should slow things down and just listen to some chillout music. Something like “Daydream” by Tycho an American ambient music artist and producer. This track is a very simple and calming tune that’s progressing to something more. I think the artist made something very enjoyable and also something that when you listen to it with headphones you are going to find yourself emerge in the sound.

As for the tea I’m going to choose a herbal blend to make the experience even better. This is going to be an infusion of: ginger, thyme, orange peel, licorice root, myrtle, chamomile, blackberry leaves, rose flowers & pepper, and its called Strength. I know that for some time now I keep choosing teas with roses but I think the floral aroma that it brings could help you have a great day.

Kisses and Go drink your tea, I’m already drinking mine.

You

Hey guys!

Today we are going to chill things down and listen to a French DJ going by the name Petit Biscuit. He has a lot of wonderful track even thou he is only 16, but one of my favorite is got to be “You”. This song it’s a combination of happy and sad with the piano playing front and center and then in the background and letting all those beats and drops kick in. And good way to show this young man’s talent and from now on I’m going to follow his work.

And now that it comes to the tea, I’m going to choose something that will calm you down and give you a good feeling. It’s called the Calm Buddha and it’s a blend of this ingredients: Kava Kava root, chamomile, passion flower, skullcap, St. John’s wort, spearmint, lavender and cinnamon. It’s a pleasant balance of smooth floral notes perfectly accentuated by the cinnamon.

Beautiful Tango

Hey guys!

Today I’m drinking a tea called Strawberry Mint that doesn’t contain strawberries of mint but instead it’s a blend of: rooibos, lapacho, green tea, sandalwood & ginger pieces. It has a sweet, softly spicy taste and its relaxing and calming beverage that you can enjoy at any hour if the day.

And now for the song I’m choosing “Beautiful Tango” by Moroccan singer Hindi Zahra. It’s a soft melody full of some sensual vocal with an intoxicating accent. It’s easy to get lost in her voice and in this song’s jazz vibe. It’s a soul warming track with lyrics speak wonderful about the way she dances with this beautiful stranger. “And the way you put your hands on my hips/ Are moving while you take it slow/ Makes me feel like I'm on a river flow”. Just one more thing, I'm choosing the unplugged version, that's the one that does it for me :D

Kisses and Go drink your tea, I’m already drinking mine.

Sleep

Hey you!

For all the nights you can’t sleep and you need someone there to keep you warm and calm I think I found a song that might give you that feeling, at least it does for me. It’s called “Sleep” by Poets of the Fall a rock band from Finland. It’s a mellow track with a piano playing through it, and after 2 minutes the drums start kicking in. The singer makes a marvelous job if following that soft sound and goes along with it. Plus some of the lyrics just are perfect. “So/ Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in / Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within”.

Now for the tea I have the perfect one. It’s a blend of: lemongrass, chamomile and rose petals and it goes by the name Tranquil Tea. This tea is perfect for those days when you need to unwind and relax. It gives you a sense of calm and comfort. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Kisses and Go drink your tea, I’m already drinking mine.

Cigarette Burns

Hey guys!

Today I’m craving berries and fruits, and because of that I’m going to choose the tea Blueberry Fizz. This is a combination of: pineapple, pieces of apple, beetroot, blueberries, lemon zest. It’s one of my favorite tisane to drink and when is warmer outside you can even turn it into a iced tea. I live the taste of it and its red-ish color gives me a very good summer vibe.

As for the song I’m thinking of something with a down tempo, some easy beats and a voice that brings everything close together. Something like “Cigarette Burns” by Flunk a Norwegian electronic band. This track is smooth and calming, and her high pitch voice gives you the feeling of an old timely band. There is definitely a good vibe to this tune, it will warm you and give energy for whatever you need to do.

Kisses and Go drink your tea, I’m already drinking mine.

Everdream

Hey guys!

I know its Friday and your work day is over so I choose a song to relax you. It’s called “Everdream” by Epic Soul Factory. They are 4 film music composers, and they belong in the trailer music genre, plus in the instrumental and orchestra genres. This track is absolutely beautiful and calming and if ever you need something to unwind to, this will do the trick. Enjoy.

For the tea I’m thinking about something equally soothing. I’m going to choose my own blend, a Good Day Tea. It's a mix of lavender, peppermint, Echinacea, lemongrass, raspberries and orange peel. It has a lot of benefits for you, especially in the calming department, a great taste and an even better smell. Give it a try if you decide to stay in today after a hard day of work.

Addicted

Hey, guys!

Today I’m in a certain kind of mood, one that someone maybe might feel in a French bistro I guess, and the song I’m listening to right now fits perfectly - “Addicted” by Waldeck. I’ve known this track for a long time, but it still hasn’t lost his sway for me. It’s a combination of nu jazz, trip-hop & the perfect amount of that clarinet. Plus the vocals… zeebee (Eva Egel) does a great job getting you addicted to this melody.  It’s impossible to hear this song and not swing your shoulders.

This track is sooo chill, that the perfect tea would be one with lavender - Minty Lavender tea: a blend of peppermint, lavender and blueberries. This tea has the power to energize you or even to calm you down, depending on your mood.  And it’s a great drink if you’re looking for some lovely dreams.

Kisses and Go drink your tea, I’m already drinking mine.

Sound

Hey, guys!

Here is a funky song, with an 80’s sound that’s just perfect for a light day – “Sound” by The 1975. To tell you the truth, I only stated liking this song because it completed perfectly one very special moment for me, not too long ago. I was sitting in my balcony, waiting for someone and I realize that I can tell when they were around, by the sound their shoes make on the asphalt. It was the perfect song for that moment, as told by the lyrics: “Well I know when you’re around cause I know the sound/ I know the sound, of your heart”. Right on point!

For the tea I’m choosing the tea we drank when they arrived :P– a Jasmine and Rose tea. That’s a mix of black tea, green tea, jasmine, rose petals and sunflower petals. It’s a flavored tea because of the main ingredients but nevertheless a tasty one. It’s the perfect combination for an evening or a calm day.

Kisses and Go drink your tea, I’m already drinking mine.

Honey Whiskey

Hey!

This song had me at the first 3 seconds because of the drums kicking and then, because of the lyrics. “Honey Whiskey” by Nothing But Thieves, an alternative rock band from the UK. The song’s about feeling bored at a party and that is a feeling I keep having lately. I think I love everything about this song: the lead singer’s voice that is soft and somehow calms me down, the bass line and the drums, of course. I think you should give it a try, you might like it.

Since this track has such a relaxing effect on me, I’m going to pair it with something that will keep me in the same state of mind – a white tea with ginger. Many people, who use meditation as a soothing tool in their lives, love this tea. It’s been said to possess a wonderful and calming effect on the body, so maybe it’s perfect for when you feel bored and you want to relax.

Kisses and Go drink your tea, I’m already drinking mine.

All We Ever Know

Hello!

Here comes another day that seems to be a good one. And because of that, I’m going to show you guys a song that makes me feel good because of its rhythm. “All We Ever Know” by The Head and the Heart, an alternative indie band from Seattle. The melody has a very heavy harmony and an upbeat style that are paired with some beautiful lyrics: “I know sometimes you get so caught in a dream/ But now it's time to wake up from this”. It’s a song that has an optimistic message like it’s time to smell the roses or like stop dreaming and turn your dreams into reality (at least that’s what I get hihi)

Because this song is for one of those good days, I’m going to choose a tea that will make this an easy task for any day- Easy Day tea. That’s a blend of blackberry leaf, linden leaf and flower, peppermint, lemon balm, and marshmallow leaf. It has a smooth, slightly minty taste. This tea has a calming effect on your body, with just enough of a fruity taste, to make you want more. Plus, if you have to study, this tea will help you concentrate.

Kisses and Go drink your tea, I’m already drinking mine.

Crystaline

Guys, today comes another post-rock song that I always listen to: „Crystaline”by Pg.lost, a band from Sweden. This song calms me down and gives me time to think about almost anything, not something sad, nor all my worries, but just think (we all do that sometimes, don’t we?). In the 5th minute, when everything starts to take another turn, this song becomes even better. It gets slower and more powerful, and this change seems so well-timed. It’s just mesmerizing, so enjoy it!

Sweet Serenita tea– does that sound like the perfect combination for the song? I think so too. It’s a mix of black tea with caramel bits and lavender, so it either calms you down or gives you the boost in energy you need, depending in what mood you are in. Either way, this is perfection.
