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…

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.

Fever

Hey guys!

This morning I woke up feeling the need for some green tea, I didn’t have any preferences, just to relax me. And because of that I’ve searched for some blends and I found the perfect one. It’s called the Oolong Jasmine, Stinging Nettle, and it’s a mix of: oolong green tea, nettle leaves, jasmine flowers and lemongrass. This tea has a lot of flavors and it made my morning.

Now for the song … I’m listening to another post-hardcore, alternative band from the UK. I think that the British have something in their blood when it comes to this kind of music :D. Let’s get back to our usual discussion and let’s give a listen to “Fever” by Deaf Havana. This track is more gentile than other made by this band, but this is still has a good guitar riff and of course some pretty placed drum 

kicks.

Had Enough

Hey guys!

Right now I’m listening to “Had Enough” by Lower Than Atlantis, a rock, hardcore, post-hardcore band from the UK. This track is about what the title suggests, cause we all have those days and this melody can be the background music for it. “I hate everyone that I meet/ But I'm getting better” this are the first lyrics and you see were the track is going from the beginning. And when you get to my favorite part “The smile on my face is fake/ And the vein on my head suggests you get running” you will start to agree with this song.

As for the tea, I could’ve easily chosen a black tea but if you really are in that state of mind as the melody suggests you shouldn’t drink something that will energize you. So because that my choice is the Free and Easy tisane. It’s a blend of: chamomile, orange peel, apple pieces, and cinnamon, ginger pieces, linden, nettle leaves, leaves of wild strawberry, orange blossom, clove.

Colourblind

Are you ready for an experimental, post-hardcore track? Today I’m going to talk about “Colourblind” by Hands Like Houses. This song has some good shifts in rhythm and some beautiful lyrics like: “Naming every shade of grey has left us colourblind”. And my favorite – “So close your eyes, let the colours fly”. The feeling that I get from this song is one of letting go of all the problems, all the worries, everything that is going wrong, and just fly.

I’m thinking pairing this song with a green tea, but an unexpected one – Cucumber Mint Iced Tea. That’s a mix of: green tea, cucumber and, of course, peppermint. It’s a refreshing drink, perfect for summer days, and most of all, perfect for those days when you need to let go. It will help you hydrate, relax and give you the energy to see the “colors” of the world.

Blame It On This Song

Hey, guys!

Today, after I woke up, it was very hard for me to leave the bed, and it took me at least an hour to finally get up and go make my tea. But I did it. I’ve made myself a black tea, of course. But now, because it’s after 5pm, I’m having an even better idea for a black tea – a Ginger Black Iced Wine tea… long name I know. It’s a combination of black tea, ginger and ice cubes made out of red wine. This is going to make a great afternoon tradition.

So let’s pair this tea with a song that gives me a summer vibe – "Blame It On This Song" by Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, a post-hardcore, pop-punk band from France. The intro is upbeat and the rhythm is cheery and happy. “Another summer counting clouds/ Singing songs we love too loud”, this sums up my summer perfectly :)

Don’t Lose Your Heart

Today, let’s drink something refreshing! Soo… how about a Mediterranean Blend? It’s a mix of mint, hibiscus, orange peel, licorice root and lemon peel. It has a slightly sweet taste that is perfect for the days you just wanna stay at home and do nothing. But it can also give you a bit of energy or even help you have a great night sleep. It goes both ways, but either way it has a divine taste.

Now the song. I’m going to choose “Don’t Lose Your Heart” by Dream On Dreamer, a post-hardcore, alternative rock band from Australia. This track has an experimental edge and a dramatic shift. Plus, the lyrics have an encouraging tone – “Right back at the start, kid, don’t lose your heart/ Till you’re where you wanna be”. And my personal favorite “It takes courage to not be the same”.

King For A Day

Hey!

So today I tried a tea just for its name – Dragonfly Song tea. How lovely does that sound? It’s a mix of lemon, mint & spearmint leaves that has a few benefits for your health like: helps your immune system, improves your skin health and, especially, gives you a bit of energy and helps you with your mood if you feel a little down.

It should go well with the next song, a song that I love, by the way. I even shared it with one of my favorite people right when I found it, a few years ago, and she loved it instantly. I’m talking about „King For A Day” by Pierce The Veil featuring Kellin Quinn. It’s a post-hardcore, screamo track that’s about getting pushed passed the breaking point and the fact that sometimes there are too many things going thrugh your mind. But like the tea, it will raise your mood, pump you up and enliven you with energy. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
