my dad's friends are all tea lovers. so i've got a tea spot in the house with everything required.

basically green tea / fresh tea (chinese = sok cha) under the chinese tea category is healthy. most helps to detoxify n keeps u alert. n some even helps on weight management. mostly, when u eat food that is oily, drinking tea helps to cleanse it up. making the throat feel better n fresher.

if u want to sleep at nite, try drinking the chinese fermented tea (also known as black tea). the effects are diff, very refreshing, doesn't get u hungry, n allows u to sleep.

just found out from someone that chamomile tea's good especially for ladies. i'm taking that a nite now. one bag (can't seem to find it loose.. pls do tell me where to get loose chamomile tea) for 2 cups. it also helps me to sleep at peace... nice smell n refreshing.

day time, usually take chinese green tea. not only it helps u to detox, it also helps to clear the throat from oily food n etc. love it!

hey, anyone tried the Green Tea with Chamomile Flowers tea by Dilmah. Brought it from Giant just now with doubts.. but its great. refreshing, nice sweet scent n the there's this 'kam' taste that leaves ur tougue tingling for a short while (which i rarely find in english tea..usually the chinese tea only). its nice, i'd recommend this. also help for acne n detox =)~

the other way around. green tea affects ur sleep. if u have insomia or u're stressed up, try chamomile tea. apparently the essence helps to calm people down and gives u good sleep. been taking it for a week, skin's getting a lil smoother and most of all, i can sleep the whole nite without waking up.

black tea are known as fermented tea. compared to green tea, i dont really enjoy the taste. its a lil darker n different taste compared to the chinese green tea.

hahaha.. the longer u keep it the higher the price is. my dad's friend house have at least half a million dollars cost of tea alone (not including this teapots).

u want to learn bout tea.. come to my place when my dad n his friend's around. they teach u from top to bottom on tea. i still can't figure the names of the tea.. only know black tea n green tea. LOL~ diff flavours n which is the ones i like most. =P

black tea = cheng cha. green tea = sok cha. (if i'm not mistaken. )

chinese green tea or japanese green tea? its erm diff... but is there a outcome u're finding for in drinking tea? e.g.: detox, hormone control, doesn't get u hungry or sleepy when u drink at nite.. etc...

to a certain extend, yes. it detoxes ur body.. remember to also drink water though. its the most healthy drink u can ever find anyways. =)

if its english tea, my recommendation would be dandelion roots.

chinese tea... would be the chinese green tea. d ones i like would have this 'kam' taste where there's a tingling taste in the bud after u swallow. helps to cleanse the throat from oil n etc. but i donno whats the name of that exact tea.. not that cheap too. kinda pricy.. got it from the tea shop in Summit USJ, but we took the last set. LOL~


lol. i only started learning somewhere end of last year when i was out of job. was joining my dad n his friends in tea shop n tasting diff types of tea. i'll state my thoughts in each after that n they'll explain things here n there. they even talk to my friends bout tea n etc...

yea, have a tea place in the house. but its kinda messy, since its the tv room n the office too. we usually end up elsewhere for tea instead of the house though.

i know one. SS14, Subang Jaya. the guy that owns the place is called Uncle Lee. Next to a chicken rice shop called Kar Heong (forgot the name of the tea shop.. Zheng something i think). my parents are there most of the weekday afternoon with their friends. the owner's very nice n helpful... funny too!

i'll ask my dad when he gets back from Cameron n Malacca (haven't seen my whole family members almost for a week due to my busy leisure schedule). =) i found a slight taste of that in Dilmah's Green tea with Camomile, but i dont think u're finding for that... will check for u.

1) not a dJ. that nick came out bout 8 years ago. long story. lol

2) am currently working but i think i'm gonna scout for a new job. i'm a workaholic and here, i sit down n rot 70% of the week at least. haven't done anything this week yet.. just forum, facebook n msn. LOL~ feeling like a pig!

3) my dad might be fierce looking, but he's willing to talk n teach anyone that's willing to learn. kinda ego too.. so, its hard to tell him when he's in the wrong. argued bout the origins of the word "MRR2" for 30 mins once.. n when i told him the exact meaning n etc.. he kept quiet. LOL~

4) no need to pretend la. friendship is always welcome. =) hahaha

yessss.. just next to it =) quite yummy too *slurps*

yes yes. no english name. hehe. thanx for the info! uncle lee's really nice.

haven't been to the one in ss15. the one in USJ, the husband's quite ok. the wife's kinda freaks me off a bit. prefer going to SS14 one =)


especially if u're a girl, try mixing a lil chamomile tea with green tea (especially nite time). helps with stress, insomnia n etc. i drink it in office nowadays... but mine's by Dilmah. love it cause of the 'kam' taste n the fragrance on the first two glasses =)

i spend 70% of the time now in office drinking n sipping my tea la.. LOL~ i got no work but am required to stare at nothing till 5pm each day. LOL~

if chinese tea is bitter, its because its brew too long n the amount exceeded what is required. the same as other tea.. the only diff with teh n teh ais is that they put milk (+ sugar) and teh o ais n teh o laici is with sugar. literally, it taste better la.. but i hate it. LOL~

yeap. some chinese green tea. detox + slimming.

teh tarik is bad because its brewed too long n too many times. not only u do not gain the nutrients, u gain unwanted 'nutrient's in there too.

try n u will know. i think i need to get that soon too.. i broke 2 of mine *ops* so gonna be killed.. LOL~

P/S: anyone knows where to get the loose version of chamomile tea? i'm kinda scrolling everywhere finding for those...

i used to.. i broke it. now, office.. tea bags. easier! home.. that's when the loose ones comes..

PS: i got my chamomile tea already. RM12 for 30gms in carrefour. haven't tried it.. will try it when i finish the teabags.

can't remember..but its been quite long ago. n since i stayed back in subang, i have all the items at home. so i dont really need that.

its fine to drink daily but have a limit. some tea can dehydrate u instead.

the amount i drink each day is a max of 6 cup between the morning to evening in office. that's green tea with chamomile or peppermint tea.

n at nite, 2 cups of chamomile tea to help me sleep.

weekends, rarely take tea at all except at nite. =P

used to do that when i was working else where. now i have 2 tables + 1 set of drawers, its easier to do anything. kekeke...

yea. but not weekends only la. usually after meals at home or we'll go to the tea shop. but we use the chinese tea cups then.. wont be much la.

clay teapots are good for green tea n fermented tea. it brings out a stronger fragrant n flavour from the tea.

never recommend anyone to drink cold tea.

any type of tea to be precise...

humm.. well, maybe no cold tea after during n after food. lolx.

but again, ppl like me that have issues wiht my lungs cant really take cold tea or any cold drinks to be precise (although i still do it sometimes, n suffer from the effects later..)

i can drink any green tea n still sleep. *oink oink*

u must be drinking green tea n no water involved. LOL~

haven't had that but i usually drink one or two normal cup or a pot or two with my dad at home. so thats the max i'd go.
