Hot Damn

Hey guys!

Today’s track is something that I’ve known for some time but only recently started to like it. I’m talking about “Hot Damn” by Ivy Levan. It’s a pop, seductive, old soul song with a great beat and a vintage sound. The vocals are amazing, her range incredible and there is a lot of swagger in her voice. It’s edgy and mature at the same time, which is difficult to achieve; it’s great to listen to and you should give it a try.

As for the tea, I’m choosing something from Teavana. Something like Pumpkin Spice Brûlée Oolong Tea which is a combination of: cinnamon, white chocolate pieces, pumpkin pieces, chocolate, carob pieces, oolong tea, ginger, chicory root, pumpkin seeds, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, coconut blossom sugar. It’s sweet, has a pumpkin aroma that fits right in with the season, full of spices and it will replenish your stamina. That’s it for today.

Do It

Hey guys!

So today’s track is an indie, pop, electronic one from Rae Morris, an English singer-songwriter. It’s called “Do It” and it’s about being brave and take a risk choosing a more exciting path. It’s energetic, infectious, especially those beats, and it’s really fun to listen. Her vocals are right on the point and make this tune a lot cuter and you can just feel her cheerful energy.  And my favorite part is: “You call me by my real name, I will keep you entertained”, I don’t know why but it seems to insinuate a lot more thru this perfect lyrics.

Now for the tea, I’m choosing Thin Mintea, which is a black tea with: black tea, cacao nibs, cinnamon, cacao powder, cardamom, marshmallow root, peppermint and stevia leaf. It’s a free calorie blend; energizing and the perfect pick me up.  It’s a great iced tea, if you are feeling cold and by adding a little milk the taste is even better. You can also try adding coconut flake, if you like that sort of thing.

Take Away

Hello!

Today I’m craving chocolate and some post-rock so here are my choices right from the start. First of all, the tea is called Cacao / Hazelnut Nougat and it’s a combination of: rooibos, honey bush, chocolate flakes, cocoa powder, cocoa butter, caramel pieces, dark chocolate flakes, chopped almonds, and chia seeds, plus vanilla but only for those of you that like that. It’s sweet and full of flavors, it will give you a boost in energy and it’s something you can enjoy at any hour. Plus there is chocolate in this tea so it will make your experience even better.

As for the song, it comes from a Jersey band called Vasudeva. They are a fantastic band, I haven’t heard much from them but the songs I know I really love cause it’s got a certain something. Right now I’m listening to “Take Away”, it’s from their album that came out this year. It’s not just post-rock it’s math rock and ambient and I doesn’t feel so overwhelming, but it does take you away on a beautiful journey with beautiful, dynamic soundscape. Hope you enjoy at least half as much as i enjoy these choices and now …

This Town

Hey you!

So today I’m going to choose something that make me feel relaxed and gives me a good feeling. Because of that the tea of the day is … A Cozy Cup. It’s a blend of:  rooibos, chamomile, peppermint and spearmint. I like adding a little lemongrass to this combination; and for some of you, you might like to try it with a little vanilla. It’s delicious, design to calm and relax you. It will definitely feel like a warm embrace, and having someone to share with might make this tea taste even better.

Now for the song we have Kygo’s new single featuring Sasha Sloan, a sweet and calm ballade full of good vocals and euphoric beats. It’s called “This Town” and it seems to be about wanting to have some adventures with the one you love, an open road, an ocean view. It’s a show and heartwarming tune that fits perfect with a cup of tea in your hand, the one you love next to you and some perfect moments. That’s it, now…

Television Romance

Hey guys!

Last work day of this week and I’m thinking that an indie track, sugary and sweet might be the perfect choice. It’s called “Television Romance” by the British band Pale Waves and it’s about being chased by someone you don’t really care of have feelings for, a television romance. It’s quite infections with those guitar riffs and it’s a fun track to listen to, it might make you wanna dance a little, but just a little :D

As for the tea, I’m choosing a fruity and sugary one so that it will be the perfect pairing for today’s melody. It’s a perfect blend of: cranberries, cinnamon, apples, rose hips, cloves, lemon peel, orange peel, calendula flowers and it’s goes by the name Autumn Fruit & Flowers. It’s spice, sweet and it will create a festival of aromas with just a sip.

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

Dusk Till Dawn

Hey you!

Today we are feeling a little emotional and in remembering of my first song and tea posted I’m going to share with you Zayn new single featuring Sia “Dusk Till Dawn”, and it’s one of the most perfect love songs, and combination of voices. It’s about two lovers trying to do everything and willing to do everything to be together with incredible instrumental and dramatic choruses that make you feel the passion between these artists. I especially like the part when Sia is firs introduce, she doesn’t steal the show, just highlight what’s great about this song.

And for the tea, I’m going to choose a lavender tea, I feel like that feels perfectly with this tune. Something like a Sweet Lavender which is a combination of: ginger, orange peel, all-spice, lavender, licorice root, lemon balm, red rosebuds and petals and a tiny pinch of stevia leaf. Lightly sweeten and fresh from the gardens, it’s a relaxing, refreshing beverage with a just a little pinch from the spices, it’s perfect on any occasions and it will leave you wanting more. That’s it for today, hope you enjoy my choices…

Heavenward

Hey guys!

I woke up this morning with a craving for something refreshing and not to energetic, so a thought that a Butterscotch tea might be the perfect choice. It’s an amazing blend of: white tea, cinnamon, pink peppercorns & marigold flowers. Very delicate, a bit on the peppery side, not very sweet, just rich notes of butterscotch, just a guilt-free drink for those in need, like me :D. And after just one sip you will definitely want some more.

Now… for our second part, I’m going with an indie, alternative, rock band from the UK, called Wolf Alice and their new single “Heavenward”. This tune fits perfect in the shoegazeing genera is echoey, ghostly and gorgeous.  It’s a dreamy, melodic track, full of inharmonious, but pleasing guitars, which take you on a mysterious journey, especially with her divine voice.

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

Find You

Hello!

Today we are going to listen to a tiny bit of pop coming from Nick Jonas new single “Find You”. It’s an easy and smooth, just a relaxed release from this artist, it full of that infectious beat and entrancing guitar riffs, plus his vocals that brings this tune to a perfect circle. Its about trying to understand the person you are with, but you can’t, overall just trying to figure that person out. It’s one of those songs that fit perfect on a slow day or on al log drive.

As for the tea, I’m choosing a herbal one, a tisane, with lots of benefits for your health, but mostly because of it’s heavenly taste. It’s called Typ Ayran Mint, and it’s a blend made from: apple pieces, orange peel, mint, lemongrass, rose hip peel, wild strawberry leaves, blackberry leaves, basil, lime oil. Fruity, minty and with a smell that will feel like a mesmerizing embrace. That’s it for today, now…

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

Black Holes (Solid Ground)

Hey guys!

Today we are going to listen to The Blue Stones single “Black Holes (Solid Ground)”. It’s a track that embodies the old dirty rock sound with drums kicking, guitar riffs and those screams coming from an enthusiastic singer. It’s a track that just seems to fluctuate from smooth and clean to heavy and overdriven sound that makes the experience of the song even better. I especially like how the chorus starts: “Sing your hearts out sing it loud/ Make me happy make me proud”, it’s the part where I just start to shout.

Now for the tea, how about something that will give you a lot of energy to do whatever you need to do to get thru the day. I know I’ve written about this tea before but it deserves more the one mention; it’s called Endurance and it’s a combination of: black tea, cinnamon, eleuthro root, goji berries, schisandra berries, nettle leaf, oat-straw & ashwaganda. With a taste to die for and the splash of energy that it will give you, I’m sure it will turn out to be an old time favorite.

The Last Of The Real Ones

Hey you!

Today I woke up in a great mood and with a craving for chai tea, one of my own blends of course. It’s simple, sweet and it will fill you with a lot of energy to get thru the day so you can start your weekend.  It contains: black tea, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cacao powder, chocolate bits, pink peppercorns, orange peel and cloves. I call it Chai For You because this blend was made for someone special :D

And now the song … I just heard the new single from Fall Out Boy and I’ve got to say I really like it. I’m talking about “The Last Of The Real Ones” and it’s about loving someone because of all their imperfections and not in spite of them, and that to me is real love. It’s energetic, keeps your body moving, it has a great beat to it and the lyrics are extremely sweet.  I especially like this ones “You are the sun and I am just the planets/ Spinning around you” and “I will shield you from the waves/ If they find you/ I will protect you”. Aren’t they lovely? I think so, now….

New York

Hey guys!

Today I’m going to keep it short and start directly with the song. It comes from the indie, pop, alternative artist St. Vincent, a pseudonym of Annie Clark, and it’s a sweet and mellow track called “New York”. Her vocal are amazing and they seem to emerge you in its sound; and apparently according to the artist “It’s my whole life in a song”.  You might not enjoy it form the start like I did but it’s still a great melody to at least give it a listen.

And now for the tea, I’m choosing Fall For Chai because autumn is already here. It’s a combination of: black tea, cinnamon, cardamom, licorice root, coriander seed and orange peel. This tea will wrap you up in a well-deserved embrace with all its flavors and aromas. Plus it’s a perfect morning of afternoon teas especially for the days when you can’t open your eyes to see the beauty of this world.

Starlight Filled Our Minds

Hey guys!

I woke up this morning hearing the rain and it gave me a state of calm and tranquility and I decided to pair it up with a green tea and a post-rock track, I hope you’ll  enjoy them. The tea is called a Fruta Bomb and it’s a sweet and soothing blend of: green tea, candied papaya pieces, apple pieces, carrot pieces, lemongrass, marigold petals, raisins. It can contain peach but since I don’t like them I prefer not to mix them in the blend. This tea creates a burst of flavor that’s perfect either hot or with ice.

And like I said before the song is going to be a post-rock one. I actually discovered the tune this morning, and I was completely impressed with it. It’s slow and it doesn’t agitate you and it feels like the perfect melody for raining weather. It’s called “Starlight Filled Our Minds” and it’s by 4 UK guys doing by the name Blanket. It’s a stunning song that seems to fill me up with good vibes and calm that it was just what I was looking for.

In And Out

Hey you!

Today as soon as I woke up I was thinking of a certain someone and because of this next track is for them. It’s called “In And Out” and it’s by pop, electronic singer Beth Ditto. It’s a track about love and it’s sweet and heartwarming especially accompanied by that lyric video. Plus her voice and vocal makes this tune even better, makes it special and it just fills you up in good vibes. I especially like the lyrics and my favorite ones are: “I know a good thing when I see it, baby/ My whole world wrapped in your smile/ I stuck around with my heart wide open/ We made a home, and it can't be broken”.

And now for the second part, I’m thinking that a herbal tea with a wonderful aroma of flowers might be the perfect choice, and because of that I’m picking the Ginger Aronia. A simple tea made from some key ingredients, like:  pieces of ginger, cumin, anise, lemongrass, aronia fruits, flowers sage, licorice root, rose petals, petals of sunflowers. Hope you enjoy my choice and you have a great day. Now…

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

Unstoppable

Hey guys!

Today I’m going to keep it short, and I’ll start right away with the song. I am listening to “Unstoppable” by The Score, an indie, rock band from New York. This is a track that fills you up with good energy and tries to empower you with lyrics like “We can be heroes everywhere we go/ We can have all that we ever want”.  It the perfect soundtrack for any task we have and can’t quite get our self’s to do.

And for the tea, I’m thinking something that has just a little bit of caffeine might be the perfect pairing for the song. How about Chocolate Coconut? It’s a combination of: black tea, chocolate pieces, soya lecithin, powdered milk, dextrose and coconut flakes. It has a sweet taste and it fills you up with energy so you can end the day in a glorious state.

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

What Lovers Do

Hey you!

So, today I realize that Maroon 5 has a new single out and it’s one I quite like. It’s called “What Lovers Do” and they are joined be American singer and songwriter SZA. It’s a fun and up-beat, radio friendly, full of dance vibes and a perfect harmonization of vocals. The track is full of sexual innuendos and it even has that sensual vibe too especially since there is a lot of R&B influence. The only thing I have to say that isn’t a compliment of this tune is that feels like Maroon 5 hasn’t done a song like they use to and it feels more like a collaboration for Adam Levine not the hole band. But that’s just my opinion.

And for the tea, I have something that will put you in motion. Something that will give you energy, help you focuses, something that has a wonderful taste and it can even put you in the mood to try the motion of the ocean :D. The tea is called Maté Chai and it’s a perfect combination of:  green mate, cinnamon, ginger pieces, cardamom, cloves, fennel, cornflowers and a bit of chocolate flakes. It’s sweet, full of flavors and perfect in the morning or even at night if you are looking to start something.

Dear Life

Hello!

Today I am listening to Beck’s single “Dear Life”. From the first seconds into this song I knew I liked. It’s upbeat, has a certain groove, not to serious but not silly either.  It starts with that piano playing and you hear it through the entire melody in the background; paired with that guitar riffs and drum kicks. The lyrics are pretty weird and complicated, asking questions of life in the most bizarre way. But my favorite is got to be: “Dear life, I think it's gone too far/ Dear life, please lower the bar/ Lower than the stars”, they care comical and at the same time easy to relate to.

Now for the tea, I’m choosing something that will give you energy and at the same time gives you a refreshing beverage to enjoy at any time you need (maybe except after 7 or 8 P.M.).  It’s called Lemon Essence with Peel and it’s a combination of: green rooibos, black tea and of course lemon peel, it also contains lemon myrtle for more flavor. That’s about it for today, now…

Chateau

Hey you!

Today is the first day of autumn according to the calendar since is the first of September, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still have some fun, listing to music, drinking a good tea and enjoy put lives. And today it’s about that, and I’ll start with the song. My choice is an indie, acoustic, folk track from the Australian duo Angus & Julia Stone. The track is called “Chateau” and it’s sweet and relaxing, has a good vibe and it’s about love. Well at list for me. Wanting to run away with that certain someone, to some place where nobody knows you and having the time of your life. And that’s way my favorite lyrics are: “We can go to the Chateau Marmont/ And dance in the hotel room/ We can go to the Chateau Marmont/ And dance we got nothing to lose”.

And for the tea, I’m just creating the perfect blend. I call it At Summer’s Feet J. And it’s a sweet and flowery, fruity blend that you can enjoy at any time of day. It’s a perfect combination of: rooibos, sunflower petals, rose petals, raspberries, cornflowers and sage. They are all summer ingredients and they help with your immune system and uplifting your mood. That’s about it for today, so…

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