Pukka Mint Matcha Green Pukka says hello: ‘As invigorating as a mountain walk, let pure organic peppermint refresh you. Whole leaf greens lift you into the freshness of the day.’ Well, we will see about that. As mentioned in previous post I am not into mint in tea. So maybe it really isn’t my cup of tea 😉 By the way do you know where this phrase origins from? The phrase ‘not my cup of tea’ comes from the UK…
Pukka Three Cinnamon Cinnamon, how nice and in Pukka’s words: ‘Forget the cold and bask in the sweet heat of cinnamon’s golden suntrap. An embrace worthy of a moment under the mistletoe.’ I think this tea might be good to ‘hygge’ with. The Danish word ‘hygge’ is a word not common in other languages. When I use google translate to translate ‘hygge’, the words that pop up are: fun and coziness. From British people I know that they also want…
Pukka Christmas Calendar day 7 A new day threatens, thank God I have Pukka 😉 In Pukka’s words: ‘Excitement is here for all to savour. The rush of sweet licorice cooled by the minty brilliance of peppermint.’ A Danish hairdresser is told to be the one, who invented this tea, but I am not sure that’s correct. Anyway I have tasted this blend before, and it is not meant for me disliking both peppermint and licorice root. Tasting Pukka peppermint…
Pukka Christmas Calendar day 6 Hello Pukka, tell me something about this tea? ‘Sweet fennel seeds and its feathery leaf will help lighten your day after a feast. Three festive ways to help you flourish’. Fennel is one of my favourite herbs so this cuppa is going to be nice, I expect. Tasting Pukka Three Fennel Pukka three fennel is a blend of sweet fennel seed, wild bitter fennel seed and fennel leaf. I like this blend, really, but it…
Endelig te fra Te-salonen December måned har indfundet sig og så er det igen tid til te fra Te-Salonen ♥ Læs min unikke 😉 vurdering af teerne og find ud af, hvor de kan købes. Til min store overraskelse og dog, er selveste Claus Meyer initiativtager til det københavnske te-brand T-Town, som du også kan læse om. Ja, hvorfor ikke lave sit eget temærke, hvis man er utilfreds med standarden herhjemme? 🙂 Til sidst et lille skriv om mit besøg…
Pukka Christmas Calendar day 5 Get ready to fly with Pukka: ‘Feel your cares fly away on zesty wings of lemongrass & ginger. Goodbye clouds, hello twinkling starts in the sky’. Makes me thinking about my first cup of tea made of only lemongrass. Served on Koh Samui, Thailand. I have never had this kind of tea before, but it was truly awesome. The same goes for ginger tea, made of only ginger. You should try it. Enjoy with honey…
Tante T julekalender dag 4 ‘Lust for Life’ hedder dagens te. Det lyder lækkert og livsbekræftende med sådan en te… 😉 Denne te kender jeg slet ikke, og tænker, at det må være en helt speciel urtete med det flotte navn. Urtete er ikke noget, jeg har meget af in the house, så jeg er spændt på, om dagens te er noget for mig. Tante T har blandet følgende ingredienser sammen: Hibiscus, lakridsrod, pebermynte, hindbærblade, nelliker, kanelstykker, kardemommefrø, sort peber,…
Pukka Christmas Calendar day 4 Chamomile tea, not my favourite tea but this blend is actually okay. I am using it as a goodnight tea. Pukka writes about this tea: ‘In amongst the chaos and clutter find your inner pool of calm. Sweet vanilla & honey to cherish and soothe your soul’. As mentioned I am not a big fan of chamomile, but chamomile is so healthy for women so I think all women should be drinking it. Read why…
Pukka Christmas Calendar day 3 Uhmm. How nice today – it’s ginger time. Pukka presents today’s tea ‘three ginger’ as follows: Warming gifts of golden turmeric, galangal and ginger. Let your inner fires kindle your christmas spirit. I really look forward to tasting this tea, as I love both ginger and galangal… Tasting Pukka three ginger Three ginger is a herbal tea with ginger, galangal, turmeric and licorice. This tea tastes so good, it’s intense and seductive… Both sweet, spicy…
Tante T julekalender dag 3 Jeg er lige kommet hjem fra en tarot seance på Amager, så nu skal det gøre godt med en varm kop te. Tarot Susanne bød på tebreve fra Fredsted te og ikke et ondt ord om teen derfra, men den tåler slet ikke sammenligning med en kop te fra tanterne. Derimod smagte Susannes hjemmebag ret godt 🙂 Tarot Susanne med den hæse stemme tilbyder på udvalgte søndage 2½ times tarot for både begyndere og mere…
Pukka Christmas Calendar day 2 I will start day 2 with Pukka’s words: ‘Three wise mints. The mintiest of them all – pure fieldmint. Leaving you crisp and clean as the brightest Christmas Day’. Well, I am not a big fan of mint, but I might be surprised. Tasting Pukka three mint Three mint is a herbal tea with three types of mint, respectively field mint, spearmint and peppermint. In general I am not crazy about mint as mentioned, so…
Tante T julekalender dag 2 Der er blevet så hyggeligt her i min lille krog, hvor jeg sidder foran skærmen, for lige til venstre for mig hænger tanternes super indbydende julekalender. Tanterne har hele 150 forskellige slags teer, og flere kommer løbende til. Jeg synes, det er så skønt at få lov til at smage på hele 24 af dem. Ville dog gerne smage dem alle, hvis muligt 😉 Husk når du handler hos Tante T i Torvehallerne, at du…
Tante T julekalender dag 1 Endelig blev det 1. december – jeg elsker december måned – og dermed tid til lækker te fra Tante T. Lige som sidste år vil jeg hver dag i december måned og frem til juleaften skrive om dagens te – denne gang fra tanterne – og hver dag vælge et ordsprog ud, der særligt taler til mig ♥ og dig også, håber jeg. Tante T har været så søde at forsyne mig med deres te julekalender…
Pukka Christmas Calendar day 1 Finally 1 December and I can have my ‘first’ Pukka tea from my Pukka Christmas Calendar. Isn’t it nice? This year I only have three tea Christmas Calendars 🙂 One from Pukka, one from Perch’s and one from Tante-T. Perch’s and Tante-T are Danish tea companies. Every day in December I will make a short post combining Pukka tea and my selected quote for the day. The tea for 1 December is named ‘revitalise’ and…
Turen går til Blyde River Canyon Mogens vækker mig ved 9-tiden, og siger at han har planer. – Uuuhhh… siger jeg, det lyder spændende. Hvor går turen hen? – Vi skal ud at køre i bushen i firehjulstrækkeren. Bare os to, køre rundt mellem alle de vilde dyr…. og hvis vi overlever det, kører vi bagefter til Blyde River Canyon (130 km. nordvest for Skukuza, Kruger Park) og tager en nat der. Undervejs er der masser af udkigsposter og turen…
