Speeding Cars

Hello!

Today I was feeling the need for some green tea but I wasn’t sure what should I try, so I choose something I knew I would always like, something with cherries. I’m talking about Sakura Allure Green tea. It’s a blend of: green tea, hibiscus, cherries, mango pieces, pineapple pieces, rose petals, lemon peels, rosebuds, cranberry pieces. It has a fruit taste, a little light than I like but still does a good job making me enjoy everything that is good in this tea and in life.

Today's song, let's see... I think I’ve listen to it before because the chorus seams familiar. Maybe because it’s really easy: “We're singing/ Heya heya heya heya/ Heya, heya heya”. I’m talking about “Speeding Cars” by Walking On Cars which is an rock, indie rock band from Ireland. This track starts with a piano intro that slowly graduates to the lyrics. After that you’ll hear the drums and guitars that will turn this song into something even better. Plus the husky voice of Patrick Sheehy will make this a song to remember.

Don't Wake Me

Hey guys!

I found this song a few hours ago and without realizing I’m still listening to it. It’s that kind of song for me, the kind that you just hit replay again and again, hope you’ll do the same. “Don't Wake Me”, this track comes from the band Aranda, an alternative rock, funk, modern rock band from Oklahoma composed of 2 brothers. It’s a darker song that talks about pain, addiction which go hand on hand sometimes. Plus this melody has some killer guitar riffs and some hunting vocals.

Now for the tea, I found a tea that it’s called Dark Side tea, and I think it will match perfectly with the song. It’s a blend of: pu-erh back tea, blackberries, raspberry leaves, cocoa nibs and chocolate pieces. This tea contains high levels of caffeine and it’s a tea so dark that it will bring you to it’s side :D

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

Drums

Hey guys!

Today let’s talk about MØ and her single “Drums”. It’s a EDM track, very infectious and catchy, co-written by Charli XCX and Noonie Bao a Swedish artist. This song gives me a good feeling witch seams to encourage everyone that listens to it to follow their hearts and to love themselves. You’ll find yourself dancing, singing and even clapping to that great hook: “To the beat of your heart / To the beat of your drum”.

As for the tea I know the perfect blend to give you energy and also keep you grounded. It’s called Balance tea and it’s a mix of: pieces of apple, orange bits, blackberry leaves, green mate, nettle leaves, flowers Saffron, sunflower and corn cockle. It has lots of flavors and an amazing taste, plus the smell is to die for (at least it is for me).

Can't Stop The Feeling

Hey, guys!

This week is full of birthdays of people I love, and tomorrow is going to be a special day to me. It’s my big sister’s birthday, so you, guys, have to help me wish her the happiest birthday so far. I’ve always been her LITTLE sister, even now that I’m 24, and she always took care of me. She’s the best and I’m sure she always will be. I know that maybe because we don’t live close to each other, I don’t tell you all that’s going in my life, or I don’t tell you how much you mean to me, or that I love you, but I’m sure you know all those things anyway. So, happy birthday, and let’s get right into your choices.

For the song, she choose “Can’t Stop The Feeling” by Justin Timberlake. It’s a catchy tune that makes you start dancing as soon as it comes on the radio. It’s a vibrant song and I can’t help but imagine myself dancing and fooling around, making funny faces and just enjoying those memorable high notes that only Justin can hit. “It’s something magical/ It's in the air, it's in my blood, it's rushing on”. That’s the feeling I get when this song starts playing, and I know she feels the same way too.

As for the tea, we’ll make a combination of green tea and raspberries because she couldn’t choose just one, green or raspberry tea. So I suggested combining them to make an even better tea :D She agreed, so here it is - Raspberry Green tea! This will give you a little bit of energy, it’s fruity and it’s exactly what you should drink when you are dancing to this song. Plus, it will spark a great feeling “in your body”. Try it, you will thank her for these choices.

Kisses and Go drink your tea (and wish my big sister a happy birthday), I’m already drinking mine.

Happy Birthday, big sis! I love you and I hope you have a great day and an awesome year. You deserve them!

Still The One

Hey, you!

The thing is that when speaking words isn’t enough, we sing. When singing doesn’t do the trick, we dance, and that’s exactly what happens when I listen to this song. It’s called “Still The One” and it’s by Ingrid Michaelson. It’s a funky track, full of harmonies, clapping and cute & lovely lyrics. You can feel the happiness flowing thru this song, it radiates love. “We dance in the living room and/ We move to the beating of our blood”. This is exactly what I wanna do when I hear this song. Plus, I relate to a lot of the lyrics throughout the song, like this one: “This is a life that we never knew”, but especially: “I’m still the one that’s in love with you”. The last one makes me feel even better.

So we can keep dancing to this melody, I think a black tea is in order to give us enough energy. And for this blend, I’m going to choose a Ginger Chai, which is a combination of: black tea, ginger, licorice root, lemongrass, peppermint and black pepper. It’s going to be spicy, but if you don’t like that, don’t let it infuse for more than 3 minutes.

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

All Of The Stars

Hey, guys!

It’s that time again, when you have to help me wish a Happy Birthday to a friend of mine. And like always, it’s their choice of song and tea that today’s post will be about. Her choices make a lot of sense to me. Whenever she feels down, I imagine her listening to this song, making a cup of tea and letting all the bad things go. So let’s dive right in and get to the good part. 

She chose the song “All Of The Stars” by Ed Sheeran. I think there is no need for me to talk about this artist cause we all heard of him. The song has a beautiful and graceful melody, with some lyrics that describe an elegant look on life. It’s a supposed to be a melodramatic song, but Ed somehow managed to turn it into something more meaningful. “As the skyline splits in two/ I'm miles away from seeing you/ I can see the stars”, “I wonder, do you see them, too?” These lyrics sum up the heartbreak of the track, but when the chorus comes, it changes to a positive way of looking at things: “All of these stars will guide us home”. That’s what we all want, don’t we?

As for the tea, she chose a Sour Cherry tea. I got to say it might be one of my favorites too. Sour cherries help with insomnia and improve digestion, to only mention a few of its benefits. I think this tea makes the perfect choice for this song, especially for her. It has an underappreciated taste that you’ll just end up liking. It’s calming and provides a safe space, just like her and her friendship.

Kisses and go drink your tea (and wish her a happy birthday), I’m already drinking mine.

Happy birthday, my good friend! Hope you have an amazing day! :*

Gimme Symphaty

Hey, guys!

Last night was a very good night for me, and because of that, I keep feeling amazing. That’s why I’m listening to “Gimme Sympathy” by Metric, an indie rock, alternative band from Toronto. I’ve known this song for some years now, and it still gives me a good feeling whenever I listen to it. It’s a positive track and I guess it’s a bit infectious cause you can’t stop yourself to hit the replay button just to hear “Who would you rather be/ The Beatles or The Rolling Stones”. And maybe you’re like me and whenever “I can feel it in my bones” part comes, you feel chills down your spine.

Now for the tea… Kris, a close friend of mine couldn’t stop herself and went on to discover what, in her own words, is “the perfect blend for a morning tea”. So because of that, today’s tea is going to be hers. She suggests a mix of: black tea, aniseed, cinnamon, cloves, red pepper, orange peel and pieces of dark chocolate. Also, she makes milk foam for this tea, and sprinkles it with cinnamon powder. Its name? KrisTea, of course.

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

Young God

Hey guys!

Today I feel kind of sleepy so I’m going to try a tea to wake me up a bit. It’s called Energy and it’s a combination of: hibiscus, apple, blackberry leaves, elderberries, orange peel, kola nut, cherries. It’s perfect for a situation like this when I’m not completely awake and I’m craving fruits. Maybe I should add some black tea, I that’s going to put me on my feet.

Since I’m trying to wake up I think Halsey’s track “Young God” will be the perfect choice. She feels like a god in this song and I wanna feel that too.  This song is about feeling like you’re invincible whenever you are with that special someone, and I can relate. Plus it has a mellow melody and her voice is calming.

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.

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

The Drugs

Hey you!

So I couldn’t sleep last night and I thought that listening to some music might help me out. That didn’t happened cause I found this song and I fell in love with it instantly and it’s been on repeat ever since. It’s called “The Drugs” and it’s by Mother Mother. It’s an indie, experimental, rock band from Canada. The lyrics talk about how loving that one person give you a feeling even better than drugs: “Cause you're hotter than the sun/ And you're better than the drugs/ I used to love”. And that’s just the first lyrics of this track :D. Give it a listen, you might enjoy it.

As for the tea, I think it should be a Chocolate Raspberry Truffl tea? It’s a blend of: black tea, raspberries, chocolate bits, cocoa bits, chili flakes, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom. This tea will give you energy and because almost every ingredients are well known aphrodisiacs, this will help you with the motion of the ocean if need comes.

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

I'll Be Good

Hey guys!

Today I’m listening to “I’ll Be Good” by Jaymes Young an indie, alternative songwriter from LA. This sounds like a ballade, but it’s darker and authentic. He is promising to be good and you will not be able to not feel his pain trying to redeem himself. You can feel his guilt thru his voice and that makes him a good artist.

The tea should be something that after feeling all this emotions will help us “be good”, and for that I have the perfect tea. It’s a blend of: fennel, green rooibos, linden flower, orange peel, raspberries, licorice root, neem, cinnamon, chili pepper, elderberry & Echinacea. It will give you a bit of energy but mostly you’ll just enjoy the full flavors this tea has to offer. And it’s also called Feel Better tea, that right there is just the perfect combination.

Kisses and Go drink your 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.

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

Backslide

Hey guys!

Yesterday someone send me this song and I really fell in love with it. It’s called “Backslide” by The Naked and Famous an indie/rock/pop/electronic band from New Zealand. It has a darker sound to it with that bass synth playing, but the lyrics are uplifting and it will make you wanna try again. “Who's to say that you won't find love again” that’s the one that keeps playing on repeat in my head. And after you listen to the track I’m pretty sure it will happen to you.

Now for the tea I think it should be one that will refresh you and give you the energy to do all the things you need to do today. It’s a black tea with roosted mate and cocoa pieces and if you like you can also add vanilla if you like that. It has a coffee-like taste to it completed with creamy cocoa overtones and it’s called Javavana Mate tea.

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

Someday

Hey guys!

I’m in a good mood again and I found the perfect song to keep me in it. It’s a ukulele base track; it’s very lovely and cheerful. It’s called “Someday” and it’s by Michael Buble and Megan Trainor and apparently it’s written by Harry Styles. Michael’s and Megan’s voices make the perfect combination to tell us the song’s story about a boy and a girl who always liked each other but for some reasons they haven’t ended up together. But they don’t lose the hope of “Someday” when they’ll be together. “I’m forever only yours” is definitely what I’m going to sing all day :D

For the tea I’m choosing a black tea with chocolate cherries. It will taste absolutely divine and it’s going to make for the perfect beverage to drink today. Plus it’s called Cordially Yours; even the name is faultless and combines effortlessly with this beautiful track.

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

Because Of You

Hey you!

The last few days have been unexpectedly great and I think you should know that. Just sharing things with people that are important to me and chilling in the house, cooking, listening to music and drinking tea. It’s exactly what I want. The best part about this is it’s of course the last 2 and because of that I’ll start with the song today. I’m listening to “Because Of You” by Lana Del Rey. Everyone has heard of her so it’s no point talking about her, I just wanna say that I started liking her because one of my favorite people in the world really loved her music. This song speaks to me and I enjoy it very much. Plus the chorus makes me wanna sing and dance and that’s perfect. “Look at me now, I have everything/You gave to me and my heart can sing”, I can’t stop myself :D

Since I’ve somehow rambled I think that now I should just get to the point. My choice for the tea is going to be the White Rooibos; which is a blend of white chocolate, rooibos, cocoa bits, carob pieces, aniseed and cocoanut flakes. Oooo and licorice root (almost forgot about that). It’s quite a festive flavor, sweet and creamy. It’s definitely the best choice for this track.

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

By Your Side

Hello!

Today seems like a great day, even if it’s kinda cold outside, and that means we should drink a tea so we can warm up inside. I’m thinking something like a black tea so you can have the courage to confront the weather. How those Orange Oolong tea sounds? It’s a blend of: black oolong tea, orange bits, juice and also orange blossoms. Plus I’ve been craving oranges for the last couple of weeks so this for me is the perfect choice.

Since is such a great day (for me at least) in the morning I found this song and I seemed to like it from the first listen. It’s called “By Your Side” and it’s by Jonas Blue featuring Raye. It’s electro-pop track with catchy and enjoyable feel to it. Raye’s vocals match Jonas’s bets and they give us a song with a lot of potential. Plus it has a few cute lyrics that for me make perfect sense when I’m thinking about a certain person, like: “Scattered hearts, broken glass/I don't feel a thing (do, do)/'Cause I'm frozen in time/When you're next to me (do, do)”

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

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.

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

Back Around

Hey guys!

Right now I’m listening to Olly Murs new single “Back Around”. It’s a pop/indie track from the English artist that starts with a guitar playing some cords and then the beats stat and gives another kind of feeling. There are a few lyrics that get stuck in your head after the first listen. Like: “And it feels dead, in this town” and of course “Bring love back around”.

Now for the tea I’m thinking that some green tea might do the trick for this autumn afternoon. Like a Green Tea Passion, which is a blend of: green tea (of course), rose and sunflower petals, and  corn cockle flowers. It’s a lot of flavors in a small pot of tea.

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

On & On

Hey guys!

Today I’m in a mood for some red tea, that means rooibos, cause I haven’t drink it in a while. And I’m choice is going to be the Rooibos Festival of Senses tea. It’s a blend of: rooibos (of course :D ), coconaut flakes, honeybush, peppermint, ginger and since today I have a sweet tooth I also added some chocolate bits.

Now the song… I’m thinking that the perfect combination for the tea is “On & On” by Cartoon featuring Daniel Levi. I’ve got to say this song has been on repeat since I found it this morning. It just has something about it that makes it great, maybe Daniel’s voice or the beats of Cartoon, I don’t know yet but I love and I wanted to share it with you.

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

False Alarm

Hey guys!

Sooo, everybody know of The Weekend right!?! This song come out almost a month ago on SNL and at first I didn’t know how I felt about it but now I can say I actually love it. I’m talking about “False Alarm”. This track has a lot going for it, like a pop-punk vibe witch made me fall for this song. And the lyrics that speak of an unrequited love “You love her, but you’ll never be/ Enough, enough” and of course about the material girls “She always seems to be alone/ But the diamonds make it better”.

For the tea I’m choosing a Chai tea because it has spices and will give you an extra punch to make you go out into the world – a Spiced Chai. It’s a mix of black tea, ginger, cardamom pods and seeds, chili, cloves and cinnamon. This chai tea’s flavors will surprise you with all of the aromas with in it, especially if you add some milk to it. Try it you will not regret it.

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

A Gallant Gentleman

Hello!

Today’s song is going to be “A Gallant Gentleman” by We Lost The Sea, a post-metal band from Australia. This track is very mellow and soothing at first with the guitars and bass playing a calming tune and the piano witch you can barely hear keeps everything grounded, but when the choir stars to sing it becomes sort of a hunting melody more perfect than you could ever imagine.

For the tea I’m choosing something that is relaxing but with a twist so it you can have the energy to get thru anything. How does a Ginger Kiss tea sound like!?! It’s a mix of: Honeybush, pear bits, coconut flakes, ginger, Jatoba extract, catuaba and cinnamon. This tea has a noticeable aroma of ginger and pear that will bring everything together.

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

Someone New

Hey!

Today I’m drinking a some black tea to give me some energy cause it feels like a slow day. It’s a blend of my own; it’s a combination of black tea (Darjeeling and English breakfast), lavender, cinnamon and aniseed. Just add some milk, sugar if you like it sweet and enjoy the rest of the day.

Now for the song… what could be better right now than some of Hozier’s music? I’m thinking that “Someone New” might fit my mood perfectly. This melody had me just from the start, with the guitar and drums playing is pure love for me. Plus his blues/ soul voice makes this track very addicting to me and when the chorus comes it just changes the vibe of the song and transforms it into something bubbly and chipper.

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