Another gathering organised by Yours Truly! We went to this really isolated place where we were able to brew our very own Chinese Tea.


Rose Tea was the pick of the day. I'm totally in love with it! It doesn't cause insomnia compared to the black tea which i usually drink at home. And it tastes much nicer! I am 200% for floral tea!

Benefits of Rose Tea (Taken from HealthMad):

1. It clears toxins and heat from the body. As a result it has a cooling effect on the body.
2. It can relieve from sore throat, runny nose and blocked bronchial tubes
3. It is useful to people those prone to chest problems by fighting against infections
4. Rose tea helps to fight the infection in the digestive tract and re-establish the normal bacterial
population of the intestines

an excellent remedy for irregular periods and infertility.

Our demonstrater of the day.

There are 7 steps to brewing tea.

1. Use boiling water to clean the tea set.
2. Place the tea leaves in the teapot.
3. Wash the tea leaves by pouring boiling water into teapot and removing it immediately.
4. Time to brew the tea!
5. Soak the tea leaves for 30 seconds before pouring the tea to the tall cup. (The tall cup is the fragrant cup aka smelling cup.)
6. Transfer the tea to the normal tea cup. Rub the fragrant cup a few times before putting it to your nose and enjoy the lingering smell of rose tea.
7. Drink the tea!

I just throw a tea sachet into my cup and pour hot water over it when i am at home or office.


Our dear Yanru trying it out. The teapot that contains boiling water is really heavy.


Some snacks to go along. Peanuts, cookies in different tea flavours and of course, tea eggs. They are boiled in tea leaves and chinese herbs for at least 8 hours before they are served. I've always like them when i was a little kid.


Got a free gingerbread man from them because i spent the most there. Bought pu-er for my dad. $22 for 14 grams. -_-" Doesn't taste expectionally nice though.


Will be scouting for more chilling places for our meet-ups.

Went for kite-flying after the tea session.


The sky was already darkening when i reached. Thus, we decided to have a picnic in Gaston's car. There was a drive-through just beside the field, how convenient.


The place was quite crowded.


Count the number of kites!


I think Kerr was posing for me. Pretending not to look at the camera.


Their kites!


Audrey's kite. $50 for one. Expensive!!!


When you are really tired of standing up and holding the reel, feel free to sit down.


More kite flying sessions to come if we don't get bored of it.
