Believe

Hey guys!

Today I wanted to chill down and just enjoy what life has got to give and because of that I’m listening to Benjamin Booker’s “Believe”. It’s a soulful track that just makes me just let go and listen to his raspy voice that makes this a great experience. It’s a beautiful song that I can’t stop listing too especially on this windy, cold day. It’s infectious with its blues sound that almost feels like a gospel talking about believing in something and finding a reason for life.

Now for the tea, I’m thinking that an herbal tea is the perfect choice; something that will give us a good feeling, a warm embrace. I have the feeling that Garden Harvest is what is needed. It’s a mix of both fruits and herbs, sweet and calming with just a pinching taste of spices.  The blend is made from: orange peel, lemon peel, chamomile, rose-hips, hibiscus, cloves, cinnamon & cornflower. Anyone can find something to love in this tea, so give it a try.

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

Starlight

Hey you!

So today a certain someone wanted to listen to something from Muse, and since my favorite song from them is “Starlight” that’s what we are going to listen. I love this track; it’s about being away from home or loved ones but still feeling their love no matter what. It’s an amazing melody full of guitar riffs and drum kicks that you can sing along to; filled with good vibes and amazing lyrics. I especially like when the rhythm changes a little when the hook comes in, that’s my absolute favorite thing in the song, plus the lyrics :D  

As for the tea, I’m choosing something refreshing, light and still mood boosting with a taste to die for. It’s called Passion Flower and it’s a blend made from:  honey bush, white tea, passion flower, blackberry leaf, lemon peel, hibiscus and extract from passion fruit, mango & lemon.  Is like a tropical island vacation for your senses, with a nice light fruity taste to it. It’s a perfect beverage for any occasion, day or night.

Beautiful Trauma

Hey you!

Today I wanna try something different, it’s something I definitely haven’t tried before but I’m very excited to do so. I’m talking about Noon chai, Kashmiri Tea or Pink Tea a traditional tea beverage from Kashmir. It’s usually made from a Kashmiri tea leaves which are very similar to green tea because they are minimally oxidized and that’s why you can use green tea like I did to make this drink. You need salt, sugar, cardamom, baking soda or saffron, almonds and pistachios, milk and of course the tea leaves. It’s creamy with a wonderful taste and definitely a new experience that I’m pretty sure you are going to enjoy. I followed a recipe from  Jamie Oliver’s site in making this tea and here is the link: https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/member-recipes/recipe-detail/3840/

As for the song, that’s easy I’m choosing Pink’s new track “Beautiful Trauma” to make an even pinker pairing. This is an electric tune, full of energy talking about love being a drug; one you can’t just live without. I got to say I instantly liked this melody, it’s that Pink punch I needed, with great vocal that only she can deliver in a way that seams fun. Add to it that pink video, where she dances with Channing Tatum, who at one point is in a dress. Hope you enjoyed today's choices and if you haven’t notice the theme is pink :))

Perfect

Hey guys!

For today I need you to help me wish my big sister a happy birthday. Even thou her birthday was yesterday we are going to celebrate some more today and even on the weekend, because she is one of the most important people in my life and she deserves it. I’m so happy to be her little sister, the littlest, to have grown up with her and to share all the important moments in our life, no matter the kilometers between us. Now let’s get into her choices.

For the song, a flawless, warm and fuzzy ballad “Perfect” from Ed Sheeran. There is a way this artist finds a way into your heart with some amazing songs but this time (in my opinion) he quite outdone himself, I see why my sister like this tune. My favorite lyrics come from the chorus “I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms/ Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song” and I’m sure you have one just as sweet as your favorite. Plus add the video to the mix and you get a heartwarming story with picture-perfect snow, cozy sweaters and adorable kittens.

As for the tea, that’s simple, apparently nothings change since last year and she still loves her green tea with raspberries, named last year Raspberry Green tea. And what’s not to love, it’s refreshing, has a fruity palate, gives you a little energy and it fits perfect in that cozy, fuzzy, warm picture that Ed Sheeran painted. It became something I always have in the house because of that simpleness and yet complex taste and aroma it brings to the table.

That’s it for today. Happy birthday big sis, you are one of the best ones and I hope you get all you need from life and that you have a good day, week, year and life. I love you :*

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

Oh Love

Hey guys!

Today’s tune comes from the band MisterWives, an indie, pop, alternative band from New York, and their song “Oh Love”.  It has great vocals and rhythms that will make you wanna move.  The video is a bit too political for me, but the animation is quite good. And I especially like these lyrics: “Lifted the veil, we’re all sinners/ Crowned the devil a winner” it just feel interesting and somehow amusing to me.

And for the tea, I’m choosing a green tea something that’s refreshing, light and also carries a punch for a bit of energy. It’s called Cranberry & Forestfruit and it’s a blend of: green tea, cranberries, safflower, rose petals, and natural aroma. It’s simple with a great taste, a beautiful smell and countless benefits for your health.  

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

The Best Has Yet To Come

Hey guys!

Today is a special day; it’s the birthday of one of my best of friends, someone who’s been with me thru the good and the bad. And because of that I need you to help me wish her a happy and perfect birthday; full of great memories, with flawless moments and good times, cause she deserves it. Our friendship isn’t an very old one but it’s one that I hold dear to my heart, full of amazing memories, great stories and lots of laughter and that is why you birthday is important to me.

Now… like always when it’s someone’s birthday they choose the song and tea they like in this moments. She wanted something that has apple and cinnamon as their main ingredients and keeping that in mind I searched the tea database and found the Cinnamon Apple Spice. A bend made from: cinnamon, apple, hibiscus, chamomile, roasted chicory, orange peel and roasted carob. This is a sweet and full of flavors tea, with a strong smell and taste of apple and cinnamon now to overpowering so the rest of the ingredients get to shine a little. You can consume it at any time of day, it doesn’t contain caffeine and it even has chamomile so if you dink it before bed you might fall asleep like a baby.

As for the tune of the day, her choice is “The Best Has Yet To Come” from Scorpions. This is a powerful ballad, it’s catchy and passionate, a blend of classical form with hard rock dynamics, guitar and vocal that doesn’t give in to modern clichés but a renewed version of themselves.  Klaus Meine's recognizable vocal are a familiar sound, not to nostalgic but a pleasure to listen to. I’ve got to say some of the lyrics from the chorus fit prefect with our friendship and somehow this song has more meaning to me to. “Through the highs and lows/ And how can I live without you/ You're such a part of me/ And you've always been the one/ Keeping me forever young/ And the best is yet to come”.

Kisses and Go drink (and with my awesome friend a happy birthday), I’m already drinking mine.

Have a wonderful day, a happy birthday and a life you can be proud of my dear friend :*

Pleader

Hello!

A few days ago I started listening to “Pleader” by the indie, alternative, electronic British band Alt-J. The first seconds of this track are silent and then it starts with a gloomy sound that makes you feel calm. Featuring the London Metropolitan Orchestra, Ely Cathedral boy choristers, police siren samples and voices it creates something that you don’t usually hear anywhere. It’s spooky but it grows into something beautiful and unique making something really enjoyable. I especially like the part when the choir sings “Glorious, the voice of man!” it brings chills down my spine.

As for the tea I’m choosing something refreshing that help you rejuvenate and it’s called Berry Green Machine. This is a blend of: green tea, rose-hips, elderberries, anise seed, hibiscus, dandelion leaf, lemon peel, alfalfa, blackberry leaf, and last but not leas wild berry extract for more flavor. It has cleansing properties, super delicious but not overly strong so you can drink it at almost hour of day.

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

Watching The Storm

Hey you!

For today I’m going to share with you a special tea called You Glow Girl (or Bro); got to say I love the name. It’s a blend crated to give you a youthful glow, help you wind down, relax and let the magic flow right thru you. It’s created from: rooibos, cinnamon, cloves, elderberries, bilberry leaf, gotu kola, sage, thyme, eleuthero root.  It’s a tea that feels like a chai and I know you like those, that will improve your state of mind and help you unwind so it’s best to drink it before bed.  

And since the tea is perfect before sleep my choice is going to be a song that will help you with nice and pleasant dreams. It’s called “Watching The Storm” and it’s from the cinematic post-rock duo from Sweden U137. This track is more of an ambient song, with a melodic background and since the drums are missing is a perfect dreamy escape. It’s a perfect sound for a lovely and relaxed night.

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

  

Believe

Hey you!

Today I’m trying to send all my good thoughts and feeling to a special someone, trying to give them a little courage and because of that the next song comes in. It’s from the pop-rock band The Score and it’s called “Believe”. This is not a heavy track; it has a simple beat and beautiful lyrics. I loved from the first minute because of it slow and easy intro and because that only at the bridge it started to change and make more of an impact. So in your darkness hour, day know that I’m always here to cheer you on and I’ll always believe in you.

As for the tea, I’m choosing something called Let’s Toast, because it contains caffeine so there will be enough energy to get thru a tough day. This blend is a mix of: Yerba maté, holy tulsi trinity (Rama, Krishna & Vana), orange peel, ginger bits, rose-hips, and some orange extract to add more flavor. It’s powerful and beneficial, has the complexity of a black tea, yet it is quite nimble and easy to drink. I hope you enjoy it and that you won’t let anything get you down.

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

Blood//Water

Hey!

I quite sick of starting my posts like that but I somehow can’t find anything better, and that means we’re going to keep doing that till I fine something better :D. ok… I’m rambling so let me share with you my choices for today. For the song I’m choosing something from Grandson, a Canadian rock, alternative, electronic artist, someone that seems to have a lot of fans these days, and his song “Blood//Water”. I enjoy this track; it’s edgy, has an infectious beat and let’s not forget that it feels like it has some punk influences.  And of course like a lot of his song seams to challenge the government and what are they doing, definitely a track for 2017.

And because this song feels like such a movement the tea should be something that will help you keep up. How about Bang Bang!? It’s a simple but powerful blend of: green tea, peppermint, cloves and licorice root. It’s full of aromas and awesome flavors from the refreshing green tea to the spicy and warm clove, and let’s not forget the cool that peppermint creates of the sweet hint of licorice.

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

24/7

Hey you!

Today I choose a very simple blend containing just green and white tea. This tea is called Twilight or Fusion Green and White Tea and it’s one of the most unique and rare, expensive types of tea because of the quality of the green and white tea. It has a delicate and smooth taste and you will find yourself looking at a pale gold color in the cup. It’s simple and yet with a lot of power and magic for a beverage.

As for the song, I’m choosing something The Neighbourhood’s new album “Hard”. The one I enjoy the most because it’s has a 80’s vibe, it’s catchier, happier and upbeat track and it’s called “24/7”. It’s an enchanting tune that’s about time, the way people worry about time and if you just slow down and enjoy life he will be there for you. It’s easy to love this song because from the start you get the feeling about the band.

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

Someone To You

Hey guys!

I didn’t woke up in a good mood today and I’m trying to change that and because of that I am listening to Banners song “Somebody To You”, an up-beat, up-lifting track with great vocals, drum kicks for my liking and just a sound that I enjoy. This track is supposed to be a confession of love, declaration to a fully commit to a relationship, or the feelings of loneliness and invisibility when the one that you love barely recognizes you exist. I especially like these lyrics: “I'll make the moon shine just for your view/ I'll make the starlight circle the room” because you can feel the love and the things that this person would do for a special someone.

Now for the tea, I’m choosing something fruity and full of aromas, with no caffeine in it. It’s called
Posie's Party Parlor Potion and it’s an infusion made from: apples, hibiscus, elderberry, raspberry, rosehips, cornflowers and sunflower petals, blackberry, strawberry. It’s a simple blend with a divine taste that’s perfect for any occasion.

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

The Sights

Hey guys!

Today I’m trying a new tea, one called Green Tea Walnut. This contains some wonderful ingredients that create an excellent tea, especially perfect for the holidays, tropical yet traditional. This blend is a mix of:  green tea with brittle bits, candied pineapple, coconut rasps, walnut bits, and almond flakes. With every sip you will fell an impeccable balance between the taste of nuts and maple with bold tropical fruit, a delicious blend that I’m sure you guys are going to love. 

As for the song, I’m choosing something that came out a few days ago “The Sights” from the English band Enter Shikari. This track has a different sound then their older tracks that I’m use to but it’s still great, more for the masses then for the fans of experimental post-hardcore genre.  This tune is about the fear and anticipation of starting a new chapter in your life. And this is my favorite lyric: “I'm leaving this Earth for the stars tonight/ And now I'm running to board the flight”, it perfectly sums up the start in every situation. That’s it for today, now…

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

When I Was Young

Hey guys!

Today I have the pleasure to share with you the track “When I Was Young” by MØ the pop, electronic, indie artist from Denmark. It’s a song full of intoxicating vocals and harmonies that just make you wanna sing with her from the top of your lungs. And at the chorus it’s a different energy, brings a kind of electric swing to the mix and makes everything even better.  Plus when MØ talked about this track she said: <is all about nostalgia and reflecting on life—especially the past, but also the now and the future>, the perfect meaning to a prefect song.

As for the tea, I’m choosing something that I wrote about some time ago, not sure if you’ll remember. The Star dust tea, a wonderful combination of: black tea, buckwheat baked, caramelized almonds, ground almonds, white cornflowers petals. It’s sweet, will give you a lot of energy and it almost fits and the season to come with that taste of caramelized almonds, and like the stores I’m preparing for the holidays in advance.

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

So Much More Than This

Hello!

Today I thought we should listen to last year’s winner of America’s Got Talent, the thirteen year old (yes 13) Grace VanderWaal, and her song “So Much More Than This”. It’s a sweet track, appropriate for her age, which that looks at how life is so much more than hate or popularity; with some amazing vocals that shine and just blow you away. It’s an enjoyable, pleasant, and fun song with catchy and cute lyrics like this: “Tap your foot and listen in/ Ignore the world, let the music cave in”. If you weren’t before now I’m sure that you’ll be impress by this little girl’s capabilities.

As for the tea, I’m choosing something that doesn’t contain caffeine and it will be perfect for any age. It’s called Relaxation Tea Organic and it’s an amazing blend of green honeybush with green rooibos, fennel, anise, chamomile, saffron. It’s full of sweet scents, has a relaxing effect, it just helps ease your tension. Plus it you add a little milk and honey to this blend you will create something even greater.

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

Come Together

Hey guys!

Today I’m listening to the cover Gary Clark Jr. did for the movie Justice League, “Come Together” by The Beetles. I love the way Gary sings; I like his vocals, husky and rough as they are, and the guitar riffs that are just amazing, and this cover has them all. It’s a bass-heavy, electro-rock combined with blues which is an interesting change from usual Beatles riff. It’s easy to find something to love or to hate over this tune but and let’s hope that overall it will be all in the good pile.

And now for our second part, I’m going to choose the Winterberry tea blend. This is a mix of:  green tea, apple pieces, hibiscus flowers, rose hip peels, lemongrass, orange peel, strawberry pieces, orange slices, natural flavor, and marigold petals. It’s a nice addition for the months to come, a warm welcome when you get home after a long day of work, sweet strawberry with delicate green tea and citrus lemon balanced with hibiscus sounds perfect to me.

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

Babe I'm Yours

Hey you!

Today I have the perfect combination of relaxing and chilling. I’m going to star with the song coming from the alternative, electronic British duo Whilk and Misky called “Babe I’m Yours”. This has a mesmerizing sound that mixes genres that to most of us seam incompatible. It combines minimalist trip-hop with a folk instrumental sound.  Spanish guitars, clapping percussion, inviting vocals that give the song an earthy quality, even thou the minimalistic production is more energetic. This is a prefect track to listen when you wanna chill, unwind, or if you want contemplate the meaning of life. Plus I really like this part "I got hypnotized by her voice and her eyes"

Now for our tea, that’s easy, Chill Baby Chill is the perfect and most logical choice. It’s a smooth, easy-to-drink herbal tisane that reduces stress & has detoxing ingredients. It has a perfect mixture of: lemongrass, spearmint, milk thistle seed, ashwagandha root (the Siberian ginseng), Holy basil Trinity (Rama, Vana & Krishna), eleuthero root (Indian ginseng), dandelion root, nettle leaf and burdock root. You know what it doesn’t have, actual ginseng :D. The perfect tea to unwind, take a deep breath and chill out.

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

Peace Sign

Hey guys!

Today I woke up feeling a little sick and I one of the best remedies I know is ginger tea or something that contains it since a simple ginger tisane isn’t to my liking. That’s why today I’m choosing Battle Born, a tea that contains: green tea, elderberries, sarsaparilla root, cinnamon, ginger, fennel seed, juniper berries, licorice root, sage. It’s a light tea that keeps you going thru the day with warm aromas and a good feeling.

As for the song I think that some of you might like “Peace Sign” from the indie, rock band The Front Bottoms. It’s a simple track that had me from the first seconds with gritty guitar tunes, a unique set of vocals and some blunt lyrics that make this song great. Plus I really like the chorus, especially when “So next time that she sees him/ It'll be peace sign, middle finger” is sung.

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

Call It What You Want

Hey you!

Today I am changing things and I’m going to listen to Taylor Swift’s new song released yesterday called “Call It What You Want”. I actually liked this track from the first listen, its gentile, sweet and of course it’s about love. It’s a nice chance of pace from the last few singles; no wonder its 2# on trending on YouTube. And are is my favorite lyrics “Starry eyes sparking up my darkest night” and of course "You don't need to save me/ But would you run away with me?". It’s just a perfect song to enjoy or share with someone you love.

As for the tea, my choice is easy since I bought a new tea yesterday. It’s called Orange Peel and it’s a simple blend of black tea, orange peel and orange aroma. It’s simple but it taste is divine. Energizing, great aroma, naturally sweet and it contains a moderate amount of coffee so less jitters for you. That’s it for today; I’ll talk to you next week.

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

Just Can't Get Enough

Hey you!

Since yesterday we listen to some garage rock it got me in the mood and today I’m listening to Sheer Mag’s “Just Can't Get Enough”. It’s a sweet song about actually being in love with an awesome rhythm, great vocals and it’s a straight-up rock ballad. Plus this is my favorite lyrics and part of the entire song “Cause as far as I know/ I ain’t never seen nothin’ so sweet / You’re the only thing that I need”.

And for the tea, I’, choosing something called Minty Lavender. It’s a blend made from peppermint, lavender and blueberries. This tea is a great energizer or even to calm you down, depending on the mood you are in. And it’s a great drink if you’re looking for some lovely dreams, or thinking about the one you love.

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

I Only Lie When I Love You

Hey guys!

“I Only Lie When I Love You” is the song we are listening today, from the English alternative rock, garage rock band Royal Blood. It’s a modern blues with a lot of drum kicks and guitar riffs, but there are not that heavy, they just get you pumped up and ready to take in the world. This track is a nod to The White Stripes with its video and the persistent drumming and the distorted riffs. It’s a track that feels similar from the first listen and it stays with you because is quite addicting and extremely enjoyable.  

Now for the tea, I’m choosing something mostly cause of its name. This new tea is called Burn Baby Burn and it’s an amazing blend of: green and white tea, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, coconut flakes, dandelions and black pepper to enhance the turmeric.  It’s a kickass anti-inflammatory with metabolism boosting & fat scorching ingredients (disintegrates that fat & inflammation). So today it’s time to wake up and feel the burn.

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