Hi steemians friends, are you a tea lover? I have lots of tea collections that I can't even decide which tea to brew. So far, the only tea I love is the one on the picture below. Not only is it beautiful to look at, it also has the best aroma from the flowers. This green tea is super good, it's heavenly.
Flowering Tea Ball 'Jasmine Silver Needle & Amaranth Flower
The most beautiful tea I ever had, from the look to the taste.
It was my husband who found this tea online while he was researching something else and saw this interesting tea that looks just like a ball and also quite a bit expensive for $1/ball. But I fell in love ever since.
It's very easy to brew, simply untie and drop it to the glass then pour some boiled water.
Rose Tea With Tons Of Benefits
Rose Tea is the second one of my favorite tea, I usually mix it with some green tea leaves and good to refresh my day.
These are some benefits of rose tea:
Makes your skin looks young and healthy because of antioxidant, Vit A, C, E and K
Immune system booster
Relieve menstrual pain
Helping with sore throat, etc.
But the most wonderful one some says, helping to lose weight.
I'm not sure if it helps with losing weight. It can be if we drink regularly with certain amount, imo. I drink because I love the smell, and try to add some of them in your bath!
Bamboo Leaves Tea
Bamboo leaves tea has a unique and wonderful smell, also slightly sweet, I drink bamboo leaves tea to help with massive hair lost after I gave birth to Adam.
Do you know one of the ingredients is what Malaysians make in a burger bun is "Charcoal Bamboo"? Just like Japanese use a squid ink, but it makes sense since a bamboo tea (not bamboo leaves tea) contains tons of benefits especially for men.
Chinese Ginseng Tea
I think everyone knows about ginseng, from the price to the taste. Our family is a huge fan of ginseng. I make soup from it, make tea, mix it to the rice when I cook rice and I even grab few slices and just chew it while driving when I'm a little sleepy.
Unless I feel my blood pressure a little bit down and I'll stop consuming, since ginseng is a good to treat high blood pressure.
Korean Red Ginseng Tea
It's a paste already made, we just add it to a cup of warm water, mix it and ready to drink. I'm not a fan of this one, my husband is. I'm taking the packaged tonic one every morning after breakfast or before breakfast.
Adam is taking one kid package every morning after breakfast, it really helps him to stay focus at school. I mean, not really focus like other normal kid, but we barely read any notes from the teacher that Adam was so cranky today, won't do his work today, lay down a lot today or cry on and off today.
I'm glad that this Korean red ginseng is working for Adam, we always got positive feed back from the teacher and everyday note Is "Adam has wonderful day"
Chinese Green Tea
It was a gift from my friend who is living in Hong Kong, she said she got it from Peninsula Hotel. This green tea is awesome one, I use to mix with some rose tea and it's really great. It's a very pleasant feeling also if we follow the rules of how to brew tea the right way, which is quite unique and very formal.
A lot of many different kind of Chinese tea, such as oolong tea, puer tea, jasmine tea, dark tea, white tea, red tea etc, but so far I only like green tea, jasmine tea white tea.
Japanese Green Tea "Macha"
I and my husband went the Japanese event festival a few years ago and we talked to one Japanese lady there and she told me that her grandma is almost 100 years old. I asked her what is the secret to be healthy, especially when we get old and she said, "Maybe because we drink green tea a lot and eat seaweed a lot too".
When we got home, my husband did some research about what that lady mentioned and It makes sense since we all know the benefits of green tea and that seaweed is good for us.
In the end, of course we have to balance what we put in our body. No one know what we feel, only ourselves!
