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.

Your Song

Hey you!

So the last couple of days were filled with emotion and I’ve got to say that I found my happiness is someone else’s smile. There was a point yesterday when I was speechless and I realized that I’ve never felt like that for anyone before. And because of that the new single from Rita Ora which I've listened more than 100 times and I still can hear it some more is the perfect choice to express my feelings. The track is called “Your Song” and it’s an upbeat, radio friendly tune, full of positivity and it just gives you a feeling that everything is going right and that’s where your life is right now.  Plus the her voice is on point and the lyrics are beautifully written, and my favorite is: “When I kiss your lips, feel my heartbeat thump”.

Now for the tea, I’m going to choose something that is perfect to help you beat the heat. It’s called a Hot Pink Lemonade, and it’s an herbal tea that gives you a refreshing and it gives to that summer flavor a new and improved update. This blend is made of: apple pieces, lemongrass, candied pineapple pieces, hibiscus, candied papaya pieces, beetroot pieces, vervain, lemon peels, orange blossoms, marigold blossoms. It’s the perfect taste, the perfect color and the perfect way to enjoy summer.

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…

Love Is A Bitch

Hello!

So today I am listening to “Love Is A Bitch” by Two Feet an indie, jazz even blues artist. This is a song that you can listen to when you are alone and just enjoy the beat and life with the amazing lyrics. The raspy voice and the instrumental break just make this tune even better. Plus “Your mama says I'm a fool/ And yeah, maybe that's true 'cause I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you” and then when the instrumental break comes is my favorite part.

And for the tea, I’m going to choose a fruit one perfect for this summer days and with a little bit of ice might be the greatest beverage you can enjoy. It’s called Mandarin Mimosa and it’s a blend made of: apple pieces, lemongrass, mandarin, mango, marigold petals, orange peels, papaya pieces, pineapple piece and strawberry (if you like this kind of berries).

Teenage Fantasy

Hello!

I was thinking that today me might enjoy something refreshing and smooth, something that will give you a surge of flavors. Because of that my choice is going to be Beach Bellini Herbal Tea. It’s composed by a sweet and tropical wave of ingredients, like: apple pieces, pineapple pieces, papaya pieces, mango pieces, tangerine slices, apple slices, physalis, rose buds and petals. With just a little ice it tastes like a splash of summer sunshine and if you add a little Champagne like the classic cocktail from which is inspired you will have a celebration of bubbles.

And for the song, I’m picking “Teenage Fantasy” by the UK’s songwriter Jorja Smith. It’s a laid back track, filled with jazz and R&B influences that are wrapped in with a nice bow by her powerful and soulful voice. The track is about questioning a romantic choice: “I was told by my mother,/ If I look into the future,/ Do I really see this boy,/ That I think I’ve fallen for?". Plus apparently she wrote this song when she was 16 (now she 20) and the track features humming recorded while Smith was babysitting at that age.

Periscope

Today we are diving right in and we are starting with the song. I’m listening to “Periscope” by Papa Roach featuring Skylar Grey and I have to say till yesterday I didn’t like this track but something change and now I’m really enjoying it. This song seems to be about an unrequited love, either within a relationship or out of one. It’s a more melodic tune, somehow moody and not that heavily based beat that use to fill us in their previous work. Plus after a few listens you will start to feel that infectious sound that fills the atmosphere.

As for the tea, I’m choosing something that will give you a little energy and frees your spirit. It’s called Samurai Chai Maté and it’s a blend composed of: green maté, rooibos, cinnamon, pineapple & papaya pieces, orange peels, lemongrass, aniseed, coriander and cardamom. This is a sweet and spicy infusion that embodies the way of the warrior, a combination to help you face every new day samurai-style :D.

Beautiful Ones

Hey guys!

Today we have a track that celebrates individuality of everybody in this world. It’s an empowering song that speaks of acceptance and spreading the love and it come in the form of Hurts new single “Beautiful Ones”. The lyrics seem to give hope to anyone how doesn’t fit in the social norm with lines like “don’t be afraid, honey one day, this will fade”. Plus the video is a colorful celebration of gender fluidity and the harsh rode of hate and brutality that sometimes go hand in hand.

For the tea I’m choosing something that you can enjoy at any hour of the day and it can relax you and just make you feel better. It’s called Bird of Paradise and it’s a blend that contains: green tea, papaya flakes, orange slices, white tea & rose petals. Simple, fruity, full of aromas and with lots of benefits.

We Are Your Friends

Hey guys!

So today let’s drink a red tea and listen to an old song. We are going to enjoy a Sweet Fruit tea witch is a blend of: rooibos with papaya bits, pineapple & apple bits, orange peel, cinnamon & rosebuds. It’s exactly like its name says, sweet and fruity, and with a hint of apple pie. It’s full of flavors and it’s perfect for any occasions and at any time of the day.

As for the song, I’m choosing “We Are Your Friends” by Justice vs Simian. Told you it’s an old one but I woke up this morning and the beat was in my head and maybe now it’s in yours too. It’s an electronic, pop track from 2006 that won a best video award from MTV Europe Music Award that made Kanye West angry and crashed the stage when the award was being presented to the French duo :)) . But the beat and lyrics are easy to follow, it seems to on a loop but that make the song what it is.

Work Shoes

Hey guys!

Here comes Friday, another few hours of work and we can relax and have great weekend.  Since we still have to work for a little while today let’s make the best of it, let’s drink some tea and try a new song. For the tea I’m thinking of a rooibos one so will give you a bit of energy for the rest of the day. A Gingersnap Cookie tea; it’s a blend of rooibos, pineapple, papaya bits, mango bits, almond bits & ginger of course.  Fruity, nutty and stimulating, what more do we need?

Now the song; it comes from the band Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker or USS for short, an alternative, electronic group from Canada. It’s called “Work Shoes” and it’s about waiting to finish the day at work so you can “kick off” the “work shoes”. This might become an addiction like it did for me, with those drums kicking, beats dropping and those vocals blending them all together. Give it a listen; you might not realize when you hit that replay button, like I’m doing right now.

Hallelujah

Hey guys!

Today I was searching for some new music to talk about and I kinda failed. Just because it’s an old song how got a cover that sends chills down my spine from the firs second they start singing. I’m talking about Pentatonix’s version of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”. It’s not a sad song, or a depressing track, it’s just an amazing, atmospheric and calming tune full of great vocals from this a cappella group. Give it a try it might live you speechless.

For the tea I’m choosing one not just by name but for all the ingredients that are in it. A Divine Temple tea, which is a mix of: white tea, green tea (Darjeeling, sencha and gunpowder), Jasmine, mango bits, pineapple bits, papaya bits, orange peels, strawberry bits, red currants, sour cherry bits, apricot bits & sugar. It has a lot of flavors in it, will give you a boost of energy and a clear mind. It taste heavenly and it will pair nice with the song.

Good to Love

It’s a beautiful day, I’m feeling good and I’m listening to “Good to Love” by FKA Twigs. Her voice melts perfectly with the beat and the drops and makes an excellent sound. Plus, the instrumental bridge makes me feel like I want more. This tune has some beautiful lyrics like: “So will you hold me while I cry?/And let me lay against your side”. Who doesn’t want a shoulder to cry on when one needs to? And of course, the last minute of the song it’s breathtaking.

Since this song has such a melodic sound, this might be a good song to listen to right before bed. Which means that I going to choose a tea that will help you sleep and have nice dreams: Crispy Dream tea.How does that sound? It’s a mix of apple, cinnamon, pineapple and papaya pieces, raisins, caramelized almonds, beet pieces, coconut flakes and popcorn flavor. This tea has a nice, sweet flavor and will definitely make you dream.

Renaissance Affair

Hey, guys!

Here is a song that I just adore and I’ve loved it ever since I first heard it: „Renaissance Affair” by Hooverphonic. This track is one of the best that I know from this band, but I enjoy more the version with the orchestra because of the string and the horns! The lyrics are brilliant. To me it speaks about a kind of love you can’t manage too well „About these feelings we can't control”and the lust that it creates „I miss you all the time I must face/ I miss your touch and your embrace”. That designs the perfect ending for me.

To make the perfect combination with this song, I’m going to choose a tea that is soothing and calming but also it has some caffeine so it won’t make you sleepy. Lavender Dream, a blend of white tea, lavender of course, grapes, apple, papaya, peach, citrus peels, carrot pieces, lemon verbena, rosebuds, passion flower herb and marigold petals. Perfect as an afternoon tea, plus it will help your immune system, skin health, anxious problems and it has the greatest taste. Yummy!

Encoder

Hey, guys!

Last night I was in a taxi and this song was playing and it reminded me of my teenage years. I used to listen to this band a lot. I’m talking about Pendulum, a drum & bass band from Australia. And the song I’m referring to is „Encoder”. This is quite the track for me, now that I’m listening to it again, not only the beat but also the lyrics, like „For everything that could have been, Well at least we took the ride”, make perfect sense when something is about to end, don’t you think?

As for the tea, I believe that something tropical will go nicely with this song... something that stirs in you the feeling of wanting more when things are on the brink of ending, something like Passion Tango Tea. This is a blend of mango, papaya, hibiscus, lemongrass, apple & cinnamon. It’s a harmonious pairing of tropical taste that bathes you in pure bliss. And because of all its ingredients, it has many benefits for your health as well. Add some ice and turn it into an iced tea, trust me!

Ex’s & Oh’s

Hey, guys!

We all have a problem with our Exs, right? So here is Elle King that sings about them in a cute and indie way in her single „Ex’s & Oh’s”. It’s a track that blends pieces of alternative rock, blues rock & Southern rock. This song has been described as an attractive sound that makes you want to hear it again and again. It gives you a happy, warm feeling and puts your body in motion. No wonder it received two Grammy Nominations.

Since this song is warm, let’s have a tea that does the same to you. The Good Feeling tea is a blend of apples, hibiscus, black currant, orange peel, rose petals, papaya, pineapple, strawberries & raspberries. Hibiscus gives you a bit of energy, is used for hypertension, like orange & pineapple as well, papaya, strawberries & apple help your immune system and black currant & rose petals give you a better skin health. Great from any point of view. This tea keeps you in the same mood as the song, hope you like them as much as I do.

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

Never Be Like You

Hey, guys!

I just found a great tea that has an even greater name – Magic Moon. It’s a blend of green & black tea with papaya, rose-hip peel & sunflower blossoms. Thanks to the black & green tea, this will energize you and since there are other ingredients within, the benefits are even greater. Rose-hip has a lot of vitamin C, perfect for when you have a cold and you can’t pull a Barney Stinson J (I hope you remember his classic remark “whenever I start feeling sick, I just stop being sick and be awesome instead”.) Sunflower improves cellular damage and strengthens your bones. And then, there is papaya, the fruit of angels that is perfect for skin care.

This tea has it all: the ingredients, the taste, the benefits and the perfect name. That is why when I found it I knew exactly what the perfect song for it was.

„Never Be Like You” by Flume featuring Kai. It’s a song that balances the smooth voice of the Canadian singer Kai and the trap sound of Flume. While Kai is asking for forgiveness in the lyrics, the spatial ambient noise and the bass elements going hard and soft at the same time make them the perfect combination. This song will definitely give you a good start for the day and when you drink this tea you will feel the ideal blend of emotions.

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