Teaware Tea Owl Tuesday – Bitterleaf Tea’s White Jianshui Zitao Shipiao Teapot

  By ,

I seem to have a collection of awesome performance jianshui clay teapots. First up is Bitterleaf Tea’s White Jianshui Zitao Purple Clay mini teapot in Shipiao shape. As per Bitterleaf Tea, “Each of these teapots are made from 100% Jianshui zitao purple clay. Although it’s called purple clay, zitao is actually considered a 5 colour clay, consisting of purple, red, white, yellow and green/cyan. These pots are made from naturally occurring white clay.” I purchased this clay teapot mostly due to the fast pour time of 4-5 seconds and perfect size of 95ml. At the time I was in hunt… Continue reading, hoot!

Teaware Tea Owl Tuesday – Bitterleaf Tea Sugarbomb Left-handed Kyusu

  By ,

Bitterleaf Tea’s teaware moves fast. It seems like they only have a piece or two of each variant of their product listing. Once that mass email gets sent out, the teaware disappears. I’ve had tea pets disappear out of my cart in less than an hour. That said, heck is Owl gonna talk about a teapot that obviously you can’t get your hands on? Because I like this teapot. This is the Bitterleaf Tea’s Sugarbomb Left-handed Kyusu teapot. It is 90ml. Regular readers might know that I am left-handed. I will buy anything left handed because they are rare finds… Continue reading, hoot!

Today I am reviewing a couple soaps from Refresh Tea & Soap Co. This company also sells loose leaf tea, but I asked to review their soaps as it sounded fun.

The bits of tea is to add exfoliation. The bar smells spicy… Continue reading, hoot!

Teaware TeaOwl Tuesday – Blue Clay Teapot with White Teas

  By ,

Welcome to Teaware TeaOwl Tuesday! Today I want to talk about one of my favourite teapots that I get questions about – Oolong Owl’s blue clay teapot. I have seasoned it to white teas. This little teapot has been a surprise favourite. I purchased it years ago at my first World Tea Expo, paying a wholesale price for a single pot. It is blue. Sometimes it is hard to tell, as the camera likes to shift it black. I have no idea what this clay is. It is thick walled, tight dense appearance, and retains heat like crazy. It is… Continue reading, hoot!

Brewista Artisan Gooseneck Variable Temperature Kettle

  By

I saw the Brewista Artisan Gooseneck Variable Temperature Kettle in the prototype stage at the 2017 World Tea Expo. I wanted this kettle so bad as it looks so amazing! I tried to get one, but ending up waiting for months and preordering, paying a lot of money just so I can have a rainbow kettle ASAP. I’ve been playing with this kettle for around 8 months and have gotten used to it. Brewista Artisan Gooseneck Variable Temperature Kettle Specs The Brewista Artisan Gooseneck Variable Temperature Kettle is a straight-up luxury kettle. There are a lot of features, brace yourself! 600ml/20oz… Continue reading, hoot!

DAVIDsTea Tea Press Travel Tea Tumbler

  By , ,

When DAVIDsTea came out with this new Tea Press, I got excited but didn’t pull the trigger right away as I had their Iced Tea Press, which is essentially the same product but in plastic instead of stainless steel. I eventually bought the Tea Press when they came out with a cute purple one. Then I bought a second one because they came out with a rainbow one. Uggg! That said, I’ve had my DAVIDsTea Tea Press since March 2018, and have been playing with it for 5 months. I tend to use it a couple times a week, with… Continue reading, hoot!

Sunday Tea Hoots 39 – Anniversary Octopus Teapot

  By , , ,

April 13th was my 5th wedding anniversary to my Tea Hating Husband. Both this year and the day we got married landed on a Friday, haha! I didn’t receive wood or silver, which are the traditional anniversary gifts (who makes that stuff up?), I got an octopus teapot. From afar, it looks more like a work of art than a teapot. Before I was a big owl obsessed person, I quite like octopi as they are tasty and strange looking. Admittedly, it functionally is a questionable as the lid is small so it is hard to add tea leaves or clean. The… Continue reading, hoot!

Mountain Tea Tumbler from The Tea Spot

  By , ,

I got a preview of the Mountain Tea Tumbler while visiting The Tea Spot at the 2017 World Tea Expo. What was really cool is when they handed me this new tumbler, they said they considered my feedback I gave for their Urban Tea Tumbler. Oh hoot hoot hoot, right then I knew this new Mountain Tea Tumbler was going to be good!

Tea Time is Me Time Adult Coloring Book

  By

I recall my Dad won Christmas a few years back as he gave me a couple adult colouring books. (BTW, the Canadian in me flinches spelling colour “color”). I coloured a few pages, but I always never have the time to put more work into it. Colouring books always have a place in my heart, I recall going into metaphysical book stores as a teen to buy weird colouring books of plants, mandalas, and crystals as those were better than cheapo kids colouring books. When I worked as an A&D Counsellor, I always had a stack of colouring pages (from… Continue reading, hoot!
