Shape Of You

Hey you!

So today we are going to listen to Ed Sheeran’s “Shape Of You”. This track has a good vibe to it, and sound it’s a looped guitar and something that resembles a marimba. That makes for a good tune since Ed matched his acoustic guitar to a techno beat and added some lyrics in which you feel his desire. Apparently this track was intended for Rihanna but he kept it for himself, and right now I got to say that I’m glad for that. There is one more thing to say. This is my favorite lyrics: “Girl, you know I want your love/ Your love was handmade for somebody like me”.

Since this song is about desire and the shape of your body I think that the tea should give you a certain state of mind and maybe help you make something happen. This tea is called Pitta and its full of aphrodisiacs. It’s a blend of: cinnamon, cardamom, licorice root, coriander, fennel, ginger, rose petals. I know this tea might help you with the motion of the ocean if you are in that moon but is better to avoid excessive consumption. That is it for today.

Mind

Hey guys!

This weekend I went to a party and someone put this song in the mix and it’s been stuck in my head ever since. I’ve listen to this track before but now I got to say I love it. I’m talking about Skrillex & Diplo tune “Mind” featuring Kai. First time I listen this song I was surprised that Skrillex singed but after that I did some research and find out that he used to be the lead singer in the post-hardcore, screamo band From First To Last. There is no comparison between what he was doing than and what he’s doing now but it’s an interesting fact to know.  

As for the song I think a black tea would be a perfect pairing for this track, mainly because I really need to wake up. So my choice is My Lady, a blend of: black tea, pineapple chunks, raisins, rose petals and cornflowers. This tea has a nice aroma, will give you energy and it will leave you wanting more.

Love & Other Drugs

Hello!

Guys, today’s entry is going to be another post-hardcore, alternative or progressive track. But his time it’s not form a British band it’s from one down under, Australia. The band it’s called The Comfort and their song is “Love & Other Drugs”. I’ve been listening to this tune on repeat for the past 4 days and I’m still not sick of it. I just adore how the chorus sounds and the lyrics are pretty great too. But tell you the truth all that I’ve been singing is “I need your love, I need your love”. I’m sure you will do the same just after one listen.

For the tea I’m going to choose an infusion, a tisane. It’s called Almond and it’s a blend of: pieces of apple, almond, cinnamon and beetroot. It’s a very simple tea, it has a lot of benefits and for those of you how like the taste of almonds you are going to love this one.

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.

Water Under The Bridge

Hey guys!

Today’s song is going to be “Water Under The Bridge” by Adele, because I woke up singing the chorus, which is my favorite part btw. Her voice is so beautiful and I just love it, and in this song she gives me a good feeling. This track is about her relationship with her boyfriend, like a lot of her songs, but this one is more about that moment when the relationship gets serious, and then getting a bit scared by it. After that realizing that this is where you wanna be for as long as you possibly can, and I can relate with that.

Now for the tea, I’m thinking of something that will keep giving that good feeling and make you enjoy life just a bit more. And because if that my choice is going to be the Honey Ginger Cinnamon tea. It’s a blend of:  cinnamon, sage, basil, lemongrass, ginger, sea buckthorn, black pepper, verbena and coriander. Just when you are ready to drink this perfect beverage add a little honey. It will be even better.

Hurricane

Hey guys!

Today I have for you a track that I’m not sure that all of you are going to like. It’s a metalcore, hardcore, progressive song from the British band While She Sleeps, it’s called “Hurricane”. I just love that guitar riff and the drums that just kick hard. Plus I love when that chorus comes and everything seems to go even harder. “It will take a hurricane” that’s just my favorite part.

As for the tea, something with spices will pair nicely with the melody. A Spice Redbush Hunter's Tea, how does that sound? It a blend of: rooibos, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, orange peel, cardamom, black pepper, coriander and raspberry pieces. It will energize you without the jitters from the caffeine.

Giving It Up

Hello!

So today I am craving some green tea, maybe one with a little punch to it, something that will keep me in a good mood and give me some energy. Soo… how about a Ginger/Lemon tea? It’s a combination of: green tea, ginger, lemon peel and lemon pieces. This tea will definitely give me the drive I need to keep going today.

The rest of the energy we need, we’ll get thru the song. I found this track today and because of the guitar play, the drums kicking and most especially because of that voices that bring everything together. I’m talking about “Giving It Up” by Mallory Knox, a rock, post-rock, alternative band from the UK. It might not be easy to sing along to this song because of the high pitched backing in the chorus it’s still catchy and spirited.

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.

Using You

Hello!

So I just found a very cute song that seems to be stuck in my head. It’s called “Using You” by Mars Argo, an indie, synthpop duo. Her voice is just soooo adorable, it’s something I’m glad I found and now I have in my life. This track has some lyrics that are inappropriate because of a certain pause put at the right time “You're the only one who's making me come/ To my sinful senses” but I think that makes this song even better :D

Now for the tea, I think that the Cinnamon Punch tea will fit right in. It’s a mix of: rooibos, pieces of apple, heather flowers, candied sugar, cinnamon, orange peel, cloves, cornflowers, cardamom. This will relax you and maybe even give you another way to look at life. It’s sweet and it’s a natural therapeutic. You can enjoy this tea at whatever hour of the day you want.

Hard On Myself

 Hey guys!

It’s that time again… It’s the birthday of other friend of mine and you have to help me in wishing him a Happy Birthday! I’ve known him for a few years now and every time I’m in his presence I always seem to have a good time. I can laugh with him and just enjoy life. So dear friend this is for you.

His choice in song is “Hard On Myself” by Hemming a songwriter from Philadelphia. This song is a bit sad for my taste but it’s still a great one. It has a good rhythm and some beautiful lyrics that make you feel what this artist is singing. You can feel her passion and all her ups and downs. The end of this track it’s going to be stuck forever in my head. And of this is my favorite part, especially when the drums start kicking: “I can't regret who I've been/ I can't expect to always win”.   

As for the tea, he is not an actual tea lover but he gave me instructions. It has to wine and extra honey. For the honey part you can do it yourself, if you like it sweet just add more, the rest is up to me. And my choose is the Mulled Wine Tea. Here in Romania drinking mulled wine in the winter it’s a must, I even like it sometimes, and I’m not a big fan of wine:D. Sooo… this tea is a blend of: oolong tea, apple bits, clove, ginger, aniseed, cinnamon, orange peel and of course wine, red wine to be exact. The way you prepare this tea it’s pretty easy. Instead of boiling the water you boil de wine and add all the other ingredients. I hope you like it, if not I’m sorry I’ve tried.

Kisses and Go drink your tea (and wish my friend a Happy Birthday), I’m already drinking mine.

Happy Birthday my dear friend, hope you have a great day. As for the celebration I just hope we don’t go overboard :D
