Wake-Me-Up in the Morning

I love the fine teas, especially the black tea served with milk. When I was a child, I drink oolong tea after each meal. The tea culture in my country is for a long time, like the routine and essential in our life.














In Taiwan, the processes of cultivate and harvest tea leaf are taking very serious. Each type of tea leaf has its own making processes. For example, the different baking time, firing, withering and oxidation time. Definitely, they have their unique taste and flavor.






English Afternoon Tea, which is usually taken in the late afternoon, is traditionally at four or five o’clock in England. Drinking tea culture started from China until 17th century, this beverage appeal in England. English carry the tea culture forward and combine with their social life.






I love the English tea. There are lots of excuses for you to have a cup of brew tea at any time. In the morning, you need a strength cup of tea to get you out of bed. In the afternoon, you need to be refreshing. In the evening, you need to keep warmth. No matter when you need it. Brew a cup of tea for yourself!










Among the black teas with variety of flavor, scents and intensity levels. I found an interesting thing recently in the British tea shop. I can easily find a set of tea leaf which includes Morning tea, Afternoon tea and Evening tea selling in a package. This is because each kind of tea has different intensity levels.








For example, the blend morning tea, called “wake-me-up in the morning” tea, usually use Ceylon for flavor, Assam for strength and Kenya for color to get them out of bed in the morning. And, Jasmine usually use as a flavor to give you a refreshing afternoon in the afternoon tea. The evening tea is full of flavor but not too much strength to keep you up at night. Thus, Ceylon has a beautiful rich flavor to keep you warmth in the evening.
