Today was
one of those spring mornings, with the beautiful sunlight coming thru the
windows and the sound of birds singing. And right then I thought of the ideal
tea to help me celebrate this moment – Spring Morning Tea: a blend of green
tea, ginger, licorice root granulated, lemon peel, hibiscus, pepper, pieces of
verbena and jasmine flowers. It's a perfect mixture of tastes and just the
right thing for a calm morning with happy feelings.
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!
For the tea
(it's going to be easy since it’s such an inviting track) I’m going to choose
something that will make you wanna try the motion of the ocean :P Something
like Cinnamon/Liquorice Root Mint Organic Spice Blend: a bend of cinnamon,
licorice root, peppermint & raisins. The most impeccable idea to go with
the song. It will give you the energy to do anything you put your mind to.
Hey!
I’m choosing
a tea that I haven’t talked about yet. It’s called pu-erh and is made from the
Camellia sinensis plant. Like all the teas made from this plant, pu-erh will
give you energy thanks to the caffeine it contains. But since it’s the first
time with this tea, I’m gonna make it a little bit more special ;) How about a
Chocolate Pu-erh tea? It is a blend of pu-erh tea, cinnamon, mini chocolate
chips & orange peel, which means that it has more benefits besides the
energy, it improves your immune system, has anti-ageing proprieties and,
because of the cinnamon, you will maybe want to try the motion of the ocean
after drinking it :D
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.
Since today’s
start hasn't been that greatest for me, I’m choosing to give into this mood and
just forget about it. That means I’m going to drink a calming and soothing tea,
something like passionflower. It’s used for anxiety, insomnia, hysteria,
palpitations, irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure. I don’t have all
those problems, but I know this tea will help me with those that I do have.
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. 
Now let’s
see the tea... this is the difficult part. Her favorite is Amaretto Black Tea
(definitely not mine). It’s a mix of black tea with almonds and chocolate, it
has a soft but strong taste and sometimes, because of the chocolate, it’s just
the perfect pinch of everything. About the almonds, I have nothing to say... I
just don’t like them. Hehe, I think I
just did say everything about them though.
Now let’s
see the tea... I’m thinking of a green tea in combination with some fruits. And
because this song deserves something a bit sweet, something like blueberries – Enchanted
Berry – sounds good enough. It’s a mix of green tea (that will give you some
energy), raspberries (they boost your immune system and are rich in vitamin A)and
of course blueberries (which improve your memory, are low in fat and rich in
magnesium and vitamin C). Per-fect! Plus, all of them combined have a great
taste that will bless you for the entire day. It’s the “Cure” that you need
every day.
I’ve tried
today a new kind of green tea that I want to share with you, guys – Genmaicha
Green Tea, occasionally called "Popcorn" tea. It’s a modern-day
favorite, a playful & healthy drink, delectable and fun. This tea has
slightly toasted brown rice blended with Sencha green tea. The rice mellows
this tea to a spirited, yet smooth & easy to drink beverage. The green tea does
the same thing to you, it energizes you, but also gives you a calm State Of…Head.
Like I was
saying before, I’m going for a mellow feeling today, so a Tranquility tea is
perfect. This a combination of chamomile blossoms, peppermint leaves & rose-hip peels. Chamomile calms the nerves, helps with insomnia and improves your
immune system, peppermint helps with nausea, sinus infections & rose hip
gives you a better skin thanks to its anti-ageing proprieties. This tea and song
blended together should make for the perfect laid-back feeling that we all need
from time to time.
It’s a fusion of
mate, black tea, cinnamon, lemongrass, rose petals, chamomile, fennel,
blackberry leaves & saffron petals and it’s called „Perfection” (what did I
tell you? :D). Thanks to the black tea, the mate and blackberry will boost you,
the fennel will increase your brain activity and chamomile will relieve
insomnia. In addition, the cinnamon and the saffron are considered
aphrodisiacs, so you know what that means, and the lemongrass and the rose
petals will boost your immune system. The perfect tea for every situation with
a very enjoyable taste – a bit like heaven.
Since this song
is some kind of love declaration to someone, the perfect tea should be the
same. That’s why I’m choosing a tea more for the name than for anything else,
even though they are all in sink. The name of the tea is „Romeo & Juliet”.
It’s a blend of rooibos, apple pieces, cinnamon, cocoa peel & peppermint –
the perfect taste for the perfect song.
Since this track reminds me of the UK, I’m definitely choosing my favorite tea - the English breakfast. It’s a classic black tea blend made from Assam, Ceylon and Kenyan teas, and it's commonly served with milk or with lemon and sugar. As all black teas, English breakfast is high in antioxidants and has other health benefits including: increases mental stimulation and reduces the risk of heart disease. It’s the best energy boost that you need in your life at any given time.
For Chinese people, tea is synonym to life. They were the first to discover the tea leaf and have been drinking tea ever since. The art of making tea is called “Cha dao”, which was soon accepted as one of the most important traditions that Japan learned from China.
