Chateau

Hey you!

Today is the first day of autumn according to the calendar since is the first of September, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still have some fun, listing to music, drinking a good tea and enjoy put lives. And today it’s about that, and I’ll start with the song. My choice is an indie, acoustic, folk track from the Australian duo Angus & Julia Stone. The track is called “Chateau” and it’s sweet and relaxing, has a good vibe and it’s about love. Well at list for me. Wanting to run away with that certain someone, to some place where nobody knows you and having the time of your life. And that’s way my favorite lyrics are: “We can go to the Chateau Marmont/ And dance in the hotel room/ We can go to the Chateau Marmont/ And dance we got nothing to lose”.

And for the tea, I’m just creating the perfect blend. I call it At Summer’s Feet J. And it’s a sweet and flowery, fruity blend that you can enjoy at any time of day. It’s a perfect combination of: rooibos, sunflower petals, rose petals, raspberries, cornflowers and sage. They are all summer ingredients and they help with your immune system and uplifting your mood. That’s about it for today, so…

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

Cavalry

‘ello!

How are you guys doing today? I’m pretty good, woke up in a good mood, with the sun on my face and with a feeling that today is going to be great. And because of that today’s choice is “Cavalry” by Novo Amor & Ed Tulett; I’ve enjoyed this song from the first time I’ve listen to it. It’s soft and easy to listen, it’s not exactly sad but it can certainly make you feel a lot of emotions going thru all the changes in the song. It’s a mesmerizing track and I highly encourage you to give it a listen and letting it take you on its journeys.

As for the tea I think a green tea, which will give you a little energy, help you focuses might be the perfect combination for this amazing track. I’m thinking Tropical Green, a blend made from: green tea, chamomile, carob, calendula flower and safflower. It’s refreshing, and it has a taste to die for, fruity and flowery. I highly recommend it with some ice too, and maybe some lemon slices.

Miles

Hey you!

I’m going to tell you a secret, today feels like a good day. I think we can accomplish a lot today if we put our self’s to work. And because of that I’m sharing with you a song by the rock, folk, American Idol winner Phillip Phillips. The song is called “Miles” and it’s a sweet and soothing ballad, full of emotions that give me good energy. This song has more rock vibe, even pop but less folk, especially with those drums kicking before the chorus. And these are my favorite lyrics: “If you follow me in this mystery/ We could swim inside these crowds”.

And now for the tea, my choice is a new blend I’ve created which I’ve named White Flowers. It’s a mix of: white tea, sunflowers, cornflowers, rose petals, goji berries and just a pinch of raspberries. It’s refreshing, with a touch of caffeine and with a perfectly scented aroma of flowers. You can enjoy it at almost any time of day and it has benefits for your skin, hair and nails, plus a lot more but these felt like the most important.

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.

Wishing Girl

Hey you!

Today I’m listening something coming from Tel-Aviv, an indie pop, folk and electronic duo called Lola Marsh, and their song “Wishing Girl”. It’s a sweet and cute track that I’ve fallen in love with from the first listen. It has an irresistible melody that gets inside your brain and really makes you enjoy the day. Plus the lyrics are extremely lovely, and they just make you want that special person so you can say: “Cause you, you are my lonely star/ And I'm, I'm your wishing girl”.

And for the tea, I’m choosing the Oatmeal Cookie. It’s a black tea with oatmeal, raisins and cinnamon. It’s quite simple but its taste is marvelous and after just one sip you will wanna drink more. Plus it will energize you, contains a lot of fibers, it’s rich in antioxidants, helps with anemia and boosts your brain activity.

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

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

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.

Meet Me In The Woods

Hey you!

Today feels like one of those classic winter days. It’s cold, really cold actually, and no courage to leave the bed and go outside. But we have and because of that I’m going to suggest a black tea. The name of this blend is: S’mores. A mix of black tea with marshmallows, chocolate bits & you should drink it with some graham cracker by your side. Plus it’s a wintery almost Christmas tea that will definitely make you feel better about what is to come.

As for the song, it’s an indie, folk track and of course it’s about love, or that what it sounds to me. It’s a mellow song, easy to listen and not exactly energetic but it should make feel loved and I think that’s even greater. I’m talking about “Meet Me In The Woods” by Lord Huron. The beginning is a wonderful, a bit enigmatic and haunting that transforms into a beautiful exciting ballad.

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

First Light

Hey guys!

Today let’s try something new. How about a yellow tea!?! It’s a rare and unique variety of tea produced similarly to green tea, but with an added step of steaming the leaves to give it the yellow color. It’s also lighter on the stomach then the green tea. And it has lots of benefits, like: helps weight loss, prevents diabetes, boosts the brain function, lowers cholesterol levels, is good for you liver, bones and teeth and it’s also good during pregnancy. Give it a try, you might like it and your body will definitely appreciate this new thing.

As for the song my choice is going to be “First Light” by Racing Glaciers. A UK based indie, alternative, folk band with post-rock roots that makes everything better. It’s a good track that has a lot to offer with trumpets playing a supporting role to the guitars, piano, drums and the vocals. The lyrics that gives us the feeling of ignorance over accepting the reality of what is really happening with lines like “I keep biting your tongue/ Just to carry it on”. It’s a calming and soothing melody that combines perfectly with this new tea.

Diamond Dreams

Hey!

I got to tell you today I woke up in a great mood and I found this tea that had me at the name. But I’ve got to say the taste is even better. It’s called Perfect World tea and it’s a blend of: blackberry leaves, chamomile flowers, lemon balm, mint, strawberry leaves, lemongrass, marigold, rose petals, lavender. Give it a taste, you might like it.

And the song, I just found it and it made my happy state even happier. I’m talking about “Diamond Dreams” by Castro a family trio from Texas. It’s a folk/pop/indie track with some beautiful lyrics and a combination of voices that made this melody shine. I even agree with some lyrics, like: “I've got dumb friends/ But man, I love them/ Cause there ain't a thing for me they wouldn't do”.

Wildfire

Hey, you!

Let’s listen today to “Wildfire” by Seafret, an English duo; one plays the guitar and the other sings. Pretty easy hmm… It's a slow-building, folk-rock song that grows in energy and grows on you with every listen. The lyrics talk about love and how that makes you feel: “Cold, torn, and pulled apart”, but we have to remember that “I needed sunshine in the darkness burning out,/Well now I know that I'm the fuel and she's the spark”. And that how it should always be.

Now I’m thinking that green tea fits perfectly with this song, and even better, when we combine it with chocolate. So today let’s enjoy a White Chocolate Coconut Latte! It’s a mix of: green tea, flavorings, coconut pieces & white chocolate bites. It has a divine taste that will just take you to heaven.

Come With Me Now

Hey, guys!

I’m ashamed to admit this, but I just found out about this song recently and I was impressed with its melody and lyrics. I’m talking about „Come With Me Now” by Kongos, a folk, rock, alternative band from South Africa.  It’s a track that gives you all kinds of different sensations and I think that the guitar makes what I just said into a statement. The lyrics are amazing: „Afraid to lose control/And caught up in this world” and „I tried to sell my soul last night/Funny, he wouldn't even take a bite”. It’s just the perfect way to put you in motion, that makes you even wanna dance or at least stay vigilant for what is to come :P

The tea should be something that will make you wanna take a chance on life. Zingiber Ginger Coconut Rooibos Tea is a blend of red rooibos, ginger pieces, coconut chips, cinnamon, apple pieces, cardamom and black pepper. This has a spicy taste that will give you energy. It tastes like an adventure or a trip to the stars or to infinity and beyond (that is what Buzz Lightyear would say). Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

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