Since my very happy childhood, I have always enjoyed tea drinking, and this all stemmed from the notion of peaceful appreciation and quality times spent with my father when I was a child. I would always drink tea after every meal, for better digestion, yet the delicate steps, the tasting and benefits of tea have always fascinated me. My most favourite tea is definitely the Oolong tea from the very high mountains of Taiwan - the sophisticated and elegant taste combined with a mildly milky fragrance spells absolute luxury to the senses! My second most favourite must be Anxi Tieguanyin, which has the wonderful fragrance of orchid osmanthus!

Mint Tea

Many people reckon tea as being damaging for the stomach and causing insomnia. My belief is that for as long as the right amount of tea is appreciated at the right moments in time, as with everything, it would be good for the body, mind and soul. In recent years, I have fallen in love with Aged Pu'er. Each dried tea leaf cake would have its own unique history and taste which has been accumulated over the years. People even speculated that numerous such Aged Pu'er tea leaf cakes have been hidden in different regions of China, at different times, creating mystique around these gems. Savouring beverages to me is like an art form now - with the various tastes, the most unique flavors and characteristics of Pu'er tea, it is similar to the appreciation and tasting of Vintage Champagne, allowing the drinkers to feel and taste the changes of the beverage at different stages, enjoying the pleasure of changes to the senses over time! It is apparent that Aged Pu'er also has some wonderful health benefits, mostly effective for aging ladies, similar to my age, haha! I still remember how I had always been ignorant, refusing to drink Pu'er tea when I was younger, so now I have to go all out, enjoy and experience all that I have been missing!
