1000 Nights

Hey guys!

We all have those nights when you can’t sleep, for me it happen more than I would like. And when that happens I listen to some music and drink some tea or something warm so it feels like someone is giving me a hug.  One of my favorites is the Nightea Night tea, a combination of: orange peel, licorice root, chamomile, peppermint, and lavender, stevia leaf and some honey if I have some. This tea helps me to relax and sleep and it even has a great taste.

Now the song. It’s a pop one but is chill and mellow, a just a few drums kicking :D. I’m talking about “1000 Nights” by Frenship, a duo from LA. It has some cute lyrics like: “I've been known to run/ Just to feel the rush” and “For 1000 nights/ I've been a restless soul/ Just wasting time”. There are a lot more but this are my favorites.

Empire


‘ello!

I just found this song by Of Monsters And Men, an indie, folk band from Iceland. This track is called “Empire” and it’s quite the melodic and stunning. It has some beautiful lyrics that are more poetic and it can have a few interpretations.  But it sounds truly good and it’s catchy. They brought the images of land and weather to this melody that can signify a lot of things. Like the rain which often symbolizes bad things that can turn out for the better. Find you own meaning in this song, see what sticks with you.

I think this track would pair up nice with a white tea, one with some fruits even. How about a White Cherry tea? It’s a blend of: white tea, cherries, coconut flakes, rosebuds and a little jasmine. This will bring lots of flavor to your life and benefits. Like: boosting your metabolism, strengthens the immune system and has antibacterial and antiviral effects.

Miss You


Hey you!

“Oh God, I miss you too/ It's all I ever do/ I'm coming back to you/ And I won't let go”, this is the chorus of the song “Miss You” by Gabrielle Aplin, an indie artist from the UK. I know this song it’s about missing your ex, or something like that but I think some of the lyrics fit as well for all the times when you are apart from someone that you care about. Plus it’s a very catchy track that makes you wanna sing to it whenever it plays.

As for the tea, I’m in love with anything that is red, so the Heavenly Hazelnut tea is going to be my choice. This is a mix of rooibos, honeybush, carob bean, chicory root, agrimony herb infused with hazelnuts. It’s delightful and very beneficial blend that will leave you wanting more. And for the some of you that like vanilla, try adding it to this tea and you will have a rich and nutty infusion in your hands.

Christmas Every Day


Hey guys!

Let’s give Christmas one more day, at let’s listen to Simple Plan’s Christmas song. It’s called “Christmas Every Day”. It has all the good cheer of the season, and will be a great addition to your holiday playlists. Plus it list’s everything you may want or could do this season. “Oh Santa Claus, if I could have my way/ I wish it was Christmas every day”, kinda wish for that too.

How about a Winter Cocktail for the tea? It’s a combination of: black tea, almond flakes, cinnamon, cloves, apple bits and some Bourbon added to the mix. This will give you energy and the warmth that you need to go outside and enjoy everything this holiday has to offer.

Shake Up Christmas


It’s Christmas!!!

Presents, snow (or no snow in my case), family and food! That’s all I need, and maybe a tea and song combination to make it the perfect day.  The truth is that a have a few Christmas songs that I like and it’s very hard to choose, maybe “Rudolph the red nose reindeer” or “Santa Clause is coming to town” or “Winter Wonderland”, damn are too many. In the last few years because of Coca-Cola commercials, Train’s song “Shake Up Christmas” puts me in the giving mood. So that is going to be my choice.

As for the tea, I know the perfect one. It’s called Christmas Tea Royal, and it’s a blend of black tea, pineapple bits, almonds (for the one’s that like them), cloves, cinnamon and ginger. It’s the perfect wintery beverage enjoyed with some milk and maybe some of Santa’s cookies.


Kisses and Merry Christmas!!!

Good Morning


Hey guys!

Let’s try something more upbeat today. Like “Good Morning” by Grouplove. It screams happiness and it has a catchy beat and melody. It seems to have the power to inspire positivity in whomever listens to it. “The night is young, the rest is up to you" feel like the perfect anthem for all those nights when you wanna do something new.


For us to be in a good mood all day let’s drink something with a lot of flavor and something that will delight our taste buds.  I’m thinking that Organic Chocolate Monkey Tisane Tea might do something about it. It’s a blend of rooibos, cacao nibs, apple bits, banana chips, pink peppercorn and chocolate. It’s a guilty free craving, with no calorie indulgence.

I Wanna Get Lost With You

Hey you!

So because of someone I found a new blend that I just love. Not sure what to name it but I’ve got to say it’s a flavor of all the good days. It’s a combination of: black tea, rooibos, orange peel, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, a bit of ginger and also cacao powder. It has all the right ingredients to transform your day, and when you drink it with someone you love it gets even better.

Let’s see, for the song I’m choosing “I Wanna Get Lost With You” by Stereophonics. It’s a love song and it captures the energy and the moment of first falling in love with someone and not being able to get them out of your head. The drums being kicked makes you tap your foot right from the start. Plus simplicity and memorable rhyme help with that. And Kelly Jones’ alluring vocals just brings all those things together and turns it into something unforgettable.

Sweet Disaster


Hey guys!

I found this song a few days ago and I just can’t stop listening to it. It’s edgy and it has a catchy chorus, some really good guitar riffs and drum kicks. It’s defiantly one of my favorites right now. I’m talking about “Sweet Disaster” by Dreamers, a punk, indie, electronic band from Brooklyn. The song is about how it feels to just get drunk and forget about everything, easy right? “In a river of champagne”, that sound expensive and I kinda wanna try it someday.

Now for the tea to be in the same theme, let’s have something with a little alcohol. I’m thinking of an Earl Grey Tea Cocktail. This beverage is an energy buster. It has a very mild flavor of tea with a dash of lemon, a touch of lavender and then lightly sweetened with honey simple syrup. All you need is:  Earl Grey tea, gin, honey, lemon juice and lavender. Combine them when the tea is cold and give it a try ;)

Easier

Hey guys!

The holidays are coming and that means we have to shop and clean and go insane cause we don’t gave a lot of time to do all those things. And because of that I think that this next song will make perfect sense for you. It’s called “Easier” by Mansionair an experimental, instrumental band from Sydney.  This track explores the endless piles of questions we can find ourselves asking those around us and the frustration of feeling like you’re going nowhere, or at least that’s how the band describes it. You know all those moments when you’re lying in bed wondering where your life is going; this song fits right in there, with the mesmerizing melody, the vocals and the those lyrics that will get stuck in your head :D

And when it comes to the tea, I think that a green one will do the trick. It will give you some energy but also before you start cleaning everything around you, don’t forget about your body. It’s a blend of green tea, orange peel, cinnamon, fennel, ginger, senna, cacao nibs, and pomegranate arils. It’s called an Organic Cleansing, and it will do just that.

Meet Me In The Woods

Hey you!

Today feels like one of those classic winter days. It’s cold, really cold actually, and no courage to leave the bed and go outside. But we have and because of that I’m going to suggest a black tea. The name of this blend is: S’mores. A mix of black tea with marshmallows, chocolate bits & you should drink it with some graham cracker by your side. Plus it’s a wintery almost Christmas tea that will definitely make you feel better about what is to come.

As for the song, it’s an indie, folk track and of course it’s about love, or that what it sounds to me. It’s a mellow song, easy to listen and not exactly energetic but it should make feel loved and I think that’s even greater. I’m talking about “Meet Me In The Woods” by Lord Huron. The beginning is a wonderful, a bit enigmatic and haunting that transforms into a beautiful exciting ballad.

Blame

Hey guys!

Today I was browsing thru my YouTube feed and I realize that Bastillle has a new video for their single “Blame”. It’s an alternative track, full of mystery and gives us an illusion of a “duel”. It has a certain swagger to it, it’s dynamic and it will make your foot move without you even realizing. If someone says: “You’ve been granted three wishes” … what would be yours?

Now the tea. This blend was inspired by the spice Mexican chocolate coffee and its name is: Mexican Chocolatea. It’s a combination of: Yerba Matè, honey bush, ginger, cacao nibs, cinnamon, anise & fennel seed, cloves and cayenne pepper. The taste will invigorate you and give you the energy for a full day. Plus the aroma of chocolate that it has will definitely make life better.

Livewire

Hey you!

Feels like a good day, right? And because of that I’m choosing a song that is slow, mellow and has a beautiful melody full of harmonies that just go together. I’m talking about “Livewire” by Oh Wonder, an indie band from London. This track has a minimal piano playing from beginning to end, light vocals and a delicate atmosphere that seem to balance the melody and not overpower the lyrics. Give it a try. You might fall in love all over again just by listening to this song and thinking about your special someone. I did :D


Because this song is so powerful but gentle, I think that we should pair it with something that will give you a calm and relaxing mood. How about a Passion Flower tea? It’s a mix of: white tea, passion flower, mango, honey bush, blackberry leaf, and lemon. It’s a vibrant, mood boosting tea full of aromas.

All Those Friendly People


Hello!

So… I found this song a few hours ago and since then it got stuck in my brain, especially the intro. The song it’s called “All Those Friendly People” and it’s by Funeral Suits, an alternative, indie band from Ireland. They have a love of epic, distorted guitars, burning harmonious pop, art rock and electronica and they love to share that with us. When I heard the name Funeral Suits I was expecting a gloomy, haunting even sound, however I feel their sound has more animated than I expected, and I love it.

Since the snow has settled in I thought we should drink something to celebrate that too. Plus because of its lemony taste and the energy levels this tea will raise it’s the perfect blend to go with the track. A bright, minty, lemon green tea… perfect for any season, but specially made for winter cause it’s called Sunny Snow Day. And it’s a mix of: green tea, yerba maté, lemon peel, peppermint, lemon balm, lemon & vanilla, if you want.

Vampire



Good Day! Or at least that’s how it feels to me.

Today we are going to have a weird track in our mist. It’s called “Vampire” and it’s by Nitemayor, they used to be called Lazyboy Empire. It’s an anthem for this creature apparently, with a sax filled vibe, and some clever lyrics. This song keeps me in a good mood and sometimes it even makes me wanna dance. “This is how it starts/ Little bit of wine” and “Well tonight I want to live forever/ Baby I can take you there with me” make everything come together. For me, maybe you’ll find something else to cling on to.

As for the tea, I think that a black tea might make everything even better. How about Black is the new Black tea? It’s a blend of black tea (English breakfast and Assam), elderberries, all-spice and licorice root. This will give you energy and it’s and it’s an absolutely delight to drink it, especially when you feel the lovely aroma of elderberries.

True North

Hey guys!

Since it’s the start of a new week I thought we should all try something different. This week I bought some turmeric and I think this is the perfect new thing to try. I found a blend
Turm It Up! which is a combination of: turmeric, hibiscus, lemon peel, ginger and if you like a bit of vanilla. It’s a fruity blend with a spice taste to it. And because turmeric is a superfood, this tea is packed full of benefits.


And now when it comes to the song my choice is going to be “True North” by You.May.Die.In.The.Desert. This band comes from Seattle and their music fits in the post-rock, instrumental, experimental genres. It’s a very enjoyable track full of bits to follow and your mood might change with them. It will get you pumped and ready for anything that this day might bring you.

Fire Escape

Hey you!

Today is a good day, don’t you think? And because of that I’m drinking a Amazon tea. This is a blend of: rooibos, licorice root, orange peel, chocolate bits, rose petals, cardamom, cinnamon and fennel. It’s a sweet mix of ingredients, with a beautiful smell and aroma. It will give you a bit of energy and it my put you in a moot to try the motion of the ocean because the chocolate, cardamom, cinnamon and fennel are all aphrodisiacs.

Now when it comes to the melody I choose a love song. It’s called “Fire Escape” and it’s by Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness witch is the third musical project by Andrew McMahon. It’s a cheery and up beat track that will keep you smiling and maybe even dancing without realizing. The chorus has some clever lyrics that say: “You’re my number one,/ You’re the reason I’m still/ Up at dawn/ Just to see your face./ We’ll be going strong/ With the vampires, baby./ We belong, we belong.” . Maybe because of that I can’t stop myself from putting the song on repeat.

Beat Of My Drums

Hey guys!

It’s kinda cold outside so let’s listen to something that will get us amped for today. My pick is “Beat Of My Drum” by Powers, an alternative rock, electronic duo. This is a good song to start the day with; the beat and rhythm get you moving. The chorus is catchy and the vocals will remind you of Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, they seem to have the same vocal range. Give it a try, you might find yourself “Making moves, to the beat of my, beat of my drum” ;)

Right now I’m drinking a chai tea, it’s called Sugar & Spice. It’s rich and spicy with hints of orange and brown sugar. This blend is made from: black tea, rooibos, orange peel, cinnamon, ginger, all-spice, cardamom, elderberries, peppercorn, licorice root, brown sugar, vanilla & orange extract. It will worm you up and get you enough energy for a great day.

Modern Act

Hey guys!

Today I woke up in a great mood. It’s snowing outside and my mom is coming to visit; what more can I ask for? And because of that I’m drinking a black tea so my disposition stays where it is and I have the energy to enjoy this great day. I read about this blend a few days ago and this morning I decided to give it a try. It’s called Orange You Glad I said Chocolate (cute name right!?!), this is a mix of: black tea, rooibos, orange peel, cacao nibs (I put some dark chocolate instead), carob beans and rose-hip. It’s a very flagrant tea with rich tones of orange and chocolate.

Sooo… I discovered this song in the morning, trying to find new to enjoy, and that I did. I’m talking about “Modern Act” by Cloud Nothings, an indie rock band from Cleveland. It has some high energy vibe to it that just makes you wanna do something, especially when the hook comes in. “I want a life, that's all I need lately/ I am alive but all alone” that's what will stick with you after just one listen. Enjoy!

For You

Hey you!

So yesterday I got a new tea, the truth is that I actually got it as a present from one of my favorite people. And this morning the first thing I did after I brushed my teeth and wash my face, I heated some water to try this tea out. It’s called Pretty Woman and it’s a blend of: rooibos, raspberry leaves, rosebuds, peonies, rose petals, daisies, strawberries and raspberries. This tea has a lot of flavor to it and an even greater smell. This is going to become a necessity from now on.

Now let’s talk about todays song. It’s called “For You” by JPB featuring Luke Cusato, a trap, electronic, future base track. It has some stunning vocals combined with some amazing beats and drops. The lyrics talk about love and the things that it makes you feel and do for the person you love. “And in my dreams, nothing came close/ To you” and “I've seen the best of you unfold/ And all of that you've become” this are some of my favorite lyrics.

Falling In Love

Hey you!

I found this song this morning and it made me smile and I just really enjoy it. I’m talking about “Falling In Love” by Dennis Kruissen featuring Langston. It’s and EDM track, a future bass track to be more exact, that tell the story of how it feels to fall in love, and those feelings that you cannot explain. Those vocals match perfect with the drops of this song and create something meaningful, soft but full of power. The power of falling in love :D. My favorite lyrics got to be this “Before you know it your intoxicated/ Fall asleep to a kiss it taste like wine/ But even dreaming you know you can't escape it/ Once it's over you can't wait to press rewind”. That is definitely how I feel sometimes, and even when I’m alone I think about those moments and I just smile uncontrollably.

As for the tea I think that a Fresh Jasmine will make the combination even better. It will give lots of benefits, energy and it will be a help with in the cold weather. It’s a blend of green tea, jasmine flowers, elderberries, elder flowers, ginger, lemon peel and lemon juice. For me today it’s a must so try it and tell me how you feel about it.

I Wanna Get Better


Hey you!

Sometimes the world doesn’t work like we want to and we get wrapped up in difficult situations and we starting feeling lonely and overwhelmed.  And when that happens we might get depressed but let’s not stay in that state and do something about it, cause we all fell like that sometimes. For me the next song does it. It’s a therapy song from the indie pop band Bleachers called “I Wanna Get Better”. It’s a fun and catchy with a hook that you’ll find yourself singing to it. Plus this song helped me realize something “I didn't know I was broken/ 'Till I wanted to change”, (and change I did :D). Maybe it will do the same for you.

Now comes the tea. This is a blend that its design to increase your energy, lower your stress and it will help you concentrate.  It’s a mix of:  black tea, yerba mate, cacao nibs, chicory root, lemon balm, rose petals, orange. And it’s called Focus tea. Give it a try, it might help.

Amnesia

Hey guys!

Here in Romania winter is coming, or it’s already here and that means that sometimes we might get sick. Because of that I decided to find the perfect relief when we get in that situation. What do you guys think about Cold Chaser tea which it’s a mix of: elder leaves, linden blossoms, thyme, aniseed, fennel, rose hip peels, licorice root, blackberry leaves & wild thyme. Add some lemon and give it a try.

And when it comes to the song I choose something with a little more punch so we can have energy to chase our cold away. “Amnesia” it’s a rock, hard rock or even post-grunge track from the band Red Sun Rising. This melody is about taking life by the horns and just running with it, whatever may come “Life should be touched not choked to death”. But I’ve got to say this is my favorite lyric “Don't roll your eyes/ Take a breath”. That seems like a good advice.
