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.

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.

Teenage Fantasy

Hello!

I was thinking that today me might enjoy something refreshing and smooth, something that will give you a surge of flavors. Because of that my choice is going to be Beach Bellini Herbal Tea. It’s composed by a sweet and tropical wave of ingredients, like: apple pieces, pineapple pieces, papaya pieces, mango pieces, tangerine slices, apple slices, physalis, rose buds and petals. With just a little ice it tastes like a splash of summer sunshine and if you add a little Champagne like the classic cocktail from which is inspired you will have a celebration of bubbles.

And for the song, I’m picking “Teenage Fantasy” by the UK’s songwriter Jorja Smith. It’s a laid back track, filled with jazz and R&B influences that are wrapped in with a nice bow by her powerful and soulful voice. The track is about questioning a romantic choice: “I was told by my mother,/ If I look into the future,/ Do I really see this boy,/ That I think I’ve fallen for?". Plus apparently she wrote this song when she was 16 (now she 20) and the track features humming recorded while Smith was babysitting at that age.

Beautiful Tango

Hey guys!

Today I’m drinking a tea called Strawberry Mint that doesn’t contain strawberries of mint but instead it’s a blend of: rooibos, lapacho, green tea, sandalwood & ginger pieces. It has a sweet, softly spicy taste and its relaxing and calming beverage that you can enjoy at any hour if the day.

And now for the song I’m choosing “Beautiful Tango” by Moroccan singer Hindi Zahra. It’s a soft melody full of some sensual vocal with an intoxicating accent. It’s easy to get lost in her voice and in this song’s jazz vibe. It’s a soul warming track with lyrics speak wonderful about the way she dances with this beautiful stranger. “And the way you put your hands on my hips/ Are moving while you take it slow/ Makes me feel like I'm on a river flow”. Just one more thing, I'm choosing the unplugged version, that's the one that does it for me :D

Hit and Run

Hey guys!

This weekend I went to a friend’s house and at some point she showed me this track and till now I couldn’t get it out if my head. I’m talking about “Hit and Run” by LOLO an American soul singer/songwriter. This track has a fast beat and her high pitch voice seam to make this something that I cannot forget. Plus it has some clever lyrics that gave me a smile when I listen to it. Something like: “I was brought up as a southern belle/ I grew into the queen of hell”.

And for the tea, I’m going to choose something mellower and a kind of tea you could drink at any hour. It’s called China Lichee Black Tea and it’s exactly that, a black tea with lychee. It’s sweet and a slight floral but the aroma doesn’t overpower the black tea.

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.

Take Me Home

Hey, you!

I’ve found this song a few weeks ago and it always seems to get stuck in my head every time I listen to it. Let’s see if it happens to you too. I’m talking about “Take Me Home” by the English singer and songwriter Jess Glynne. It’s a pop, soul track, with some beautiful vocals and lyrics that speak about love (of course!). “I know that somewhere better/'Cause you always take me there”. That feels so true when you find your other half :D

Now for the tea… I’m looking for something that will fit the mood, maybe even something with lavender. How about a Red Lavender Mate? That’s a combination of: green mate, lavender, and hibiscus. This tea will give you energy and in the same time, thanks to the lavender, it will help you get rid of your stress. Perfect combo, right?

Bright Lights

Hey, guys!

How about some blues or soul music for today? I’m thinking about “Bright Lights” by Gary Clark Jr. because I absolutely adore this song. It has a psychedelic sound full of smacking & kicking drums, and the guitar played quite beautifully, while the artist sings “You gonna know my name”, just does it for me. Plus, it sounds somehow perfect because of those “Bright lights, big city going to my head” lyrics that are like a drug, at least for some of us that like big cities.

Since the city can send us into new experiences every day, I’m going to choose a tea that does the same: Adventure tea. It’s a blend of rooibos, rose-hip, apple & kiwi, chopped almonds & hibiscus that has a sweet and sour taste, just perfect for an afternoon tea that will make you appreciate the rest of the day. This tea could make you look at the world around you and find drug-like pleasures even in the small details.
