The Sights

Hey guys!

Today I’m trying a new tea, one called Green Tea Walnut. This contains some wonderful ingredients that create an excellent tea, especially perfect for the holidays, tropical yet traditional. This blend is a mix of:  green tea with brittle bits, candied pineapple, coconut rasps, walnut bits, and almond flakes. With every sip you will fell an impeccable balance between the taste of nuts and maple with bold tropical fruit, a delicious blend that I’m sure you guys are going to love. 

As for the song, I’m choosing something that came out a few days ago “The Sights” from the English band Enter Shikari. This track has a different sound then their older tracks that I’m use to but it’s still great, more for the masses then for the fans of experimental post-hardcore genre.  This tune is about the fear and anticipation of starting a new chapter in your life. And this is my favorite lyric: “I'm leaving this Earth for the stars tonight/ And now I'm running to board the flight”, it perfectly sums up the start in every situation. That’s it for today, now…

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

I Only Lie When I Love You

Hey guys!

“I Only Lie When I Love You” is the song we are listening today, from the English alternative rock, garage rock band Royal Blood. It’s a modern blues with a lot of drum kicks and guitar riffs, but there are not that heavy, they just get you pumped up and ready to take in the world. This track is a nod to The White Stripes with its video and the persistent drumming and the distorted riffs. It’s a track that feels similar from the first listen and it stays with you because is quite addicting and extremely enjoyable.  

Now for the tea, I’m choosing something mostly cause of its name. This new tea is called Burn Baby Burn and it’s an amazing blend of: green and white tea, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, coconut flakes, dandelions and black pepper to enhance the turmeric.  It’s a kickass anti-inflammatory with metabolism boosting & fat scorching ingredients (disintegrates that fat & inflammation). So today it’s time to wake up and feel the burn.

Any Friend of Diane’s

Hello!

Today I am listening to Weezer’s new album “Pacific Daydream” and my favorite song on it “Any Friend of Diane’s”. This one feels a little different from the track that Weezer has released before, it’s slow, unique and it just something about it, it’s even catch and easy to listen to.  But it seems that people are quite torn about it, either they like it or they just hate it. It’s not that 90s grunge and it looks that their sound has change and for me feels like for the better.

As for the tea, I’m choosing a simple one made from just 3 ingredients. It’s called Red Coconut and it contains: rooibos, coconut flakes or pieces and lemongrass. It’s simple, creamy and far from boring, with the “light” that the rooibos brings to the rich taste of coconut and last but not least the lemongrass that brings this blend to a perfect circle. It’s a perfect and cozy beverage that you can enjoy at any time of day.

Dream State

Hey guys!

Today my going to share with you a track that might take you on a ride with a everything it’s going on with its sound. It’s from the electronic, experimental, trip-hop band Son Lux and it’s called “Dream Stare”. It’s filed with layers of synths, woodwinds, walking a fine line of never sounding too electronic or computerized but also it seems like Son Lux deconstructs music itself and patch it back together in their image. Plus this song explores growing up, precisely the understanding of mortality, brilliantly showing the relaxed state of youth.

And for the tea, I’m choosing a green one. Something that will invigorate you, give you a little energy and help your immune system.  It’s called Aloe Vera & Coconut and it’s a wonderful blend made with: green tea, spirulina, vitamin complex with Aloe Vera, coconut, mallow flowers.  It has a wonderful taste, refreshing and light perfect for almost any hour of the day.

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

Unstoppable

Hey guys!

Today I’m going to keep it short, and I’ll start right away with the song. I am listening to “Unstoppable” by The Score, an indie, rock band from New York. This is a track that fills you up with good energy and tries to empower you with lyrics like “We can be heroes everywhere we go/ We can have all that we ever want”.  It the perfect soundtrack for any task we have and can’t quite get our self’s to do.

And for the tea, I’m thinking something that has just a little bit of caffeine might be the perfect pairing for the song. How about Chocolate Coconut? It’s a combination of: black tea, chocolate pieces, soya lecithin, powdered milk, dextrose and coconut flakes. It has a sweet taste and it fills you up with energy so you can end the day in a glorious state.

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

Don't You Feel It

Hey guys!

Right now I’m in the mood for something fruity and I think that the Elephant Blend tea might do the trick. This is a perfect combination of: rooibos tea, banana flakes, coconut, mango pieces, pineapple flakes, papaya and orange slices. It’s an exotic combination, creamy and sweet that will help you brighten you day.

As for the song, I’m choosing the drum and bass powerhouse Sub Focus new pop, club base track “Don’t You Feel It” featuring ALMA.  This is quite the infectious tune, it has a lot of hooks and it somehow showcases Sub Focus ability to conquer any kind of genre. Plus ALMA’s voice is just the right amount of soft and powerful and it brings this song to a full circle. That’s about it for today…

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

Jamie

Hey guys!

Today I’m thinking of drinking a maté tea, one with chocolate so I get the energy to survive the day. It’s called Maté Chocolate and it contains: maté roasted rooibos, cocoa pieces, chocolate bits, barley malt, coconut rasps, cinnamon, cloves and cornflower blossoms. It’s sweet and fruity, with an easy to remember flavor.

As for the song I just found the song “Jamie” from the indie rock band Nightair. It’s a fun song that will make you wanna move a little. It seems to be about a girl named Jamie, her ex-boyfriend is the narrator and he is trying to explain to her new boyfriend that Jamie only likes him for what he is, “A shiny new toy to be used” J. It’s a cute song that might make you smile once you hear it.

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

The Noise

Hey guys!

Let’s listen to something with more of a beat, and with more of a rock vibe to it. How about “The Noise” from the indie-rock band Castlecomer? It’s a funky track that makes you wanna dance and have a good time. It’s energetic and with great vocals. Plus the introduction of the song with the strong guitar riff and the drums kicking that build up to the vocals just make this a perfect song.

As for the tea, I’m thinking that Happy Colada, an infusion of fruits might make our day a little better. This bland has a lot going for it, it’s full of aromas and a taste in which you can feel that the summer in coming. So this is a mix of: pineapple and apple bits, hibiscus flowers, rose-hip and orange peel, coconut flakes and freeze-dried sour cherry.

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

Be Who You Are

Hey guys!

The Kooks have announced a new album and they shared their new single “Be Who You Are”. It’s a very up-beat rock ‘n’ roll that resemble the old sound of the band. It’s a fun track that you’ll find yourself enjoying more with each listen. And lyrically speaking it’s about that feeling we all have where we don’t know what to do and where to start but when “There's nothing left to win and you could only lose/ What's keeping you from doing what you always wanna do” ? It’s the perfect song for a new beginning.

Now for the tea I’m choosing a black tea just to give us a little push to have a great day, one that has a lot of chocolate so we can get an extra boost. It’s called The Chocolate Cream Truffles and it’s an sweet bland made of: black tea, cocoa beans, flaked coconut, chocolate chips, cocoa butter, soy lecithin. It’s creamy and with a rich taste of chocolate, just add a little milk and the taste might be better.

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

Death Of Love

Hey you!

Today I’m opting for a straight forward love song. It’s called “Death Of Love” and it’s by the English singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor.  It’s an elegant, charming track that creates an endearing picture that talk about love. Like always her voice is perfectly balance by the electronic and acoustics sound and she delivers a heartwarming track full of meaningfully lyrics. My favorite has to be “But in my mind we're king and queen/ You make the best of everything”, it really speaks to me.

Now for the tea, I’m choosing something as loving as the song. It’s called Té Amoré and it’s a simple blend made of: lemongrass, ashwagandha root, coconut flakes, carob bean, rose petals, oat-straw and passionflower. It has a sweet, lemony and chocolaty taste to is that will help with your immune system, digestion, anxiety and it can even boost your energy.

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

It Ain't Me

Hey guys!

So ever since last week I’ve been listening to Kygo’s new single, the one featuring Selena Gomez. The song is called “It Ain't Me” and it’s a powerful tune about a dysfunctional relationship that was destroyed by the alcohol or something like that. Its pretty catch and easy to listen, it has some piano infused beats and a vocal effect that it’s going to make this track get stuck in your head, at least that what happened to me.

Now when it comes to the tea, I’m choosing something calming and relaxing, I’m choosing the Coconut Chamomile tea. This is a beautiful combination of: kiwi, coconut, apple, chamomile, sour cherries & cranberries. It’s sweet, full of flavors and it will just give you a good and comforting feeling.

Anymore

Hey you!

So today we are going to listen to a track that has a 90’s electronica grove to it. It’s called “Anymore” and it’s by the British duo Goldfrapp. It has that underground dance club vibe too it with repetitive lyrics, heavy synths and deep beats. This is defiantly a sexually-charged electronic pop song that seems to be sung by someone who is in a certain mood, someone that wants to try the motion of the ocean. “You’re what I want / You’re what I need / Give me your love / Make me a freak” and the repetitive “I can't wait, I can't wait anymore” speak for themselves.

And now for the tea I’m choosing a black one to help you in the energy department if you are in the same mood. This tea is called Moonlight and it’s a mix of: black tea, raisins, pieces of orange, coconut flakes, lemon peel, elderberry, sunflower petals, peony flowers, anise and rum. It will give you a little more vigor, it’s full of flavors and aromas and of course it has some booze in it too.

Waterfall

Hey you!

Today I stumble upon the new single released a few days ago from Stargate featuring Sia & Pink, and you now it’s going to be amazing since is so much star power here. The song is called “Waterfall” and it’s about how you feel safe under the protection of someone you love. Their voices blend together and they delivered a beautiful track, one that makes me push the replay button. Plus when Pink sings “You may find me, 'cause my heart beats loud, so loud/ It beats fast, in the places where you touched me last” or when Sia sings “Baby, you're my oxygen/ When I cannot find my way on Earth” I’m like: damn, I can relate.

Now for the tea I’m choosing a rooibos one. That feels right, because it doesn’t contain caffeine but it will still give you a boost in energy, and it also contains some my favorite aphrodisiac :D. So this is a spice infusion of; rooibos, cinnamon, candied coconut pieces, ginger pieces, cloves, rose petals, cardamom, black pepper and vanilla pieces if you are in to that. And I forgot, the name of the tea is Dosha Chai.

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

The Worst In Me

Hey guys!

I think it’s time we listen a post-hardcore, metalcore track form the LA band Bad Omen and the song is called “The Worst In Me”. This tune has a certain melodic metelcore to its sound and that might be a reason for me to like it. Or maybe it’s because I like those guitar riffs and drums kicking. Plus the band reminds me of Bring Me The Horizon, they have a similar sound, so you should check them out if you like this kind of thing.

Now for the tea I’m choosing a red one called Rhyannon’s Tea. It’s a combination of rooibos with coconut pieces, ginger bits, cinnamon, apple bits, cardamom & pepper. It’s a spice, energizing and full of flavors beverage that you can drink at any time. And let’s not forget that special aroma of apples with cinnamon, it’s perfect.

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

Honey Sweet

Hey guys!

Today’s track it’s going to be “Honey Sweet” by Blossoms, an indie band from the UK. This track has a 80’s vibe to it; it’s like all those romantic pop track that play on the radio whenever it’s an homage to that era. It’s calm and feels like a good song to listen this day. Plus there are some cute lyrics mixed in with all the ‘incomplete’ ones, I especially like the course. “No more nights alone, so cold/ Let's go back to sweet, honey sweet” that is my favorite.  

Now for the tea, I’m choosing one just for its name. It’s called Cloud Catcher and it’s a combination of: apple pieces freeze dried kiwi, sour cherries, freeze dried cranberry slices & coconut flakes. Because of all of the ingredients this tea will definitely brighten out your day.

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

Not Above Love

‘ello!

I found this track yesterday and it got stuck in my head ever since. It’s called “Not Above Love” and it’s by the English duo AlunaGeorge. It’s a trip-hop, electronic, r&b track with some ingenious lyrics that talk about trying to escape a relationship in which you are taken advantage of and just regaining your heart and journey thru.  Something like this “You keep robbing my heart like a bank/ No thank you, no thank you”.

As for the tea, I think something fruity will do the trick here. Plus something with cinnamon cause this week I’ve been craving that a lot. This tea it’s called the Cinnamon/Roasted Almonds and it’s a mix of: pieces of apple, pineapple bits, cinnamon, toasted pumpkin seeds, raisins, coconut flakes, pieces of raspberry and poppy flowers.

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

The Cause

Hey guys!

Today is a very cold day, at least here in Romania. My phone says that right now there are -21˚C so you really know that everything is frozen outside. And because of that the perfect tea is going to be something that might help you keep warm and not catch a cold in the mid time. It’s called a Rooibos Mexican Winter and it’s a combination of: : rooibos, orange peels, cinnamon, coconut rasps, chili bits, pink pepper. Perfect to assistance you in putting on a brave face when it comes to the cold and frozen weather.

And now that it’s time for the song, maybe isn’t the perfect combination but I really like this track ever since I found it. It’s by Laura Gibson, an indie, folk singer and songwriter from the US. The song it’s called “The Cause” and it’s just a stunning arrangement of drums and violins with her flawless voice bringing them all together.  I think my favorite part comes at the end of minute 2.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!!!

We all made our wishes, our resolutions, we all know what we want to accomplish in this year. I am rooting for all of them to come true. So this text was supposed to be uploaded yesterday but someone went a little crazy at the New Year’s party and yesterday I spend my day in bed trying to regain all the energy I lost. When I say crazy I don’t mean I got drunk, cause I didn’t but I ate a little bit too much and I spent the night on the dance floor :D. It was like a course of aerobics, but with better music.

Now let’s listen to Abba’s “Happy New Year” cause it’s the best song for this occasion. Let’s enjoy that soft melody, full of wishes and just that great feeling that something better has yet to come. It’s my tradition to enjoy this track in the New Year and I’m passing it on to you guys.

As for the tea, I found a blend; I made some adjustments to it and it became the perfect mix for any time. It’s called Tea for the New Year and it’s a mix of: black and green tea, lavender, ginger, coconut, cornflowers,bergamot, lemon peel and rose-hips. It’s the perfect beverage to drink in the morning or afternoon, it will give you energy and it will fill your soul in a warm blanket.

Kisses and Happy New Year! May all your wishes come true!!!   

Empire

‘ello!

I just found this song by Of Monsters And Men, an indie, folk band from Iceland. This track is called “Empire” and it’s quite the melodic and stunning. It has some beautiful lyrics that are more poetic and it can have a few interpretations.  But it sounds truly good and it’s catchy. They brought the images of land and weather to this melody that can signify a lot of things. Like the rain which often symbolizes bad things that can turn out for the better. Find you own meaning in this song, see what sticks with you.

I think this track would pair up nice with a white tea, one with some fruits even. How about a White Cherry tea? It’s a blend of: white tea, cherries, coconut flakes, rosebuds and a little jasmine. This will bring lots of flavor to your life and benefits. Like: boosting your metabolism, strengthens the immune system and has antibacterial and antiviral effects.

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