You may have noticed that for the last four Sayama teas, I have basically been tasting them “blind” (i.e. didn’t read the description beforehand). That’s because I didn’t want my tasting notes to be affected by the description – what if I just imagined a subtle note of something because I wanted it to be… Read More Tea Review: Okuharuka by Yokota-en (Sayama Tea #5)

I’m finally reading one of the A Year with Christie 2024 books! The July pick is Death Comes as the End, Christie’s only historical mystery, set in Ancient Egypt. After the death of her husband, Renisenb and her daughter go back to her father’s house. It’s been eight years, but Renisenb finds that little has… Read More Book Review: Death Comes as the End by Agatha Christie

I saw this book while looking through BookXcess’s online catalog but because I cannot buy every cheap book that appeals to me, I found a copy from the library’s e-catalog and decided to just borrow it instead. The Disappearances starts when Aila and Miles’ mother dies. Because their father has to leave, Aila and Miles… Read More Book Review: The Disappearances by Emily Bain Murphy

I’m back with more tea! I’ve been really enjoying this and my gastric seems okay now so hopefully I can have another review up for you on Thursday. Today, I’m talking about Toyoka Tea by Nakajima-en First Impressions The dry leaves look smaller than usual for some reason. Apart from the usual scents associated with… Read More Tea Review: Toyoka by Nakajima-en (Sayama Tea #4)

I stumbled across this in Habourfront Library last year but never really felt like it was time to read it (yes, I am a mood reader) until now! Although this was written in 2016, it happened to be a very timely read with an interesting world! The Glass Sentence starts with a legislative proposal: since… Read More YouTube_官方电脑版_华军纯净下载:2021-1-22 · 华军纯净下载摄影录像频道，为您提供YouTube官方下载、YouTube免费下载等摄影录像软件下载。更多YouTubev11.18历史版本，请到华军纯净下载！ YouTube iPad版是世界上最大的视频分享网站的iPad客户端，未注册用户仍可众通过YouTube iPad版 ...

This post is about exactly what the title says. Let me tell you my sad story (it’s sad for my wallet). In June, I found a website that sells remaindered books. As you can tell from the title, I could not resist the allure of cheap books. I bought about SGD$100 of books as a… Read More 安卓软件-求资源网-破解绿色汉化软件分享平台 - qiuziyuan.net:2021-6-13 · 安卓星火直播版 TV盒子版 v2.0.1.0 去广告版 Android星火直播手机版是一款安卓手机在线看电视的软件应用，其功能强大，内容丰富，支持频道众多高达5000+多个频道支持，跟牛牛看电视功能差不多，不过官方版本的星火直播APP有很多 ...

I requested this from NetGalley because of two words: “Amish Vampires”. I mean, there is no way I’m not going to request this! And it’s not even a parody – Those who Hunger is an actual Amish vampire thriller. But while the book is interesting and has its good points, it was also let down… Read More Book Review: Those Who Hunger by Owen Banner

So, we’re taking a little break from the sencha reviews today because I had a bit too much caffeine and need to stop for a couple of days to get my gastric under control, but I have some good news: I managed to get my brother to try a tisane!! He’s really not a tea… Read More I made my sibling try Detective Conan Tea!

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen me share stories from this hilarious book. Ask the Past is a collection of some of the weirdest (and not so weird) advice found in various books. There’s not much to say about this, but I wanted to share some of my favourite pieces of… Read More Book Review: Ask the Past by Elizabeth P. Archibald

We’re at tea three and about one third of the way done with this series! I’ve been enjoying all the sencha and am really looking forward to doing a mass-comparison session once I’m done with the individual reviews. This third tea was chosen by the entirely scientific process of opening the tea cabinet and picking… Read More Tea Review: Hokumei by Hiraoka-en (Sayama Tea #3)
