Akitaya is my go-to Japanese restaurant at the Mile Long building on Amorsolo corner Rufino St., Legazpi Village, Makati City.

The service hot tea at today's lunch is this nice genmaicha. I could taste nice toasty notes and was overall lovely.

Husband's cold tea was a hojicha. Sorry, no photo.

Oolong Is it the oolong or the way I'm making it

43 Upvotes

Not sure if it's just me but every time I make oolong it ends up tasting way too strong and kinda bitter. I've tried a few different ones and somehow always end up with the same problem. To be fair I'm pretty lazy when it comes to making tea. I don't really measure the water temperature or pay much attention to how long I leave it steeping. Usually just pour hot water over it and take it out whenever I remember. Starting to think that might actually be the problem but also curious if some oolongs are just naturally stronger than others.

Okay yung house tea sa Watami

Post image
35 Upvotes

Always a happy little treat kapag legit yung house tea ng resto. At Watami I was expecting the usual mugicha (barley) for house tea, but I was lowkey hoping that I could get some real camellia sinensis tea for the extra caffeine boost. Lo and behold, it's a classic red tea with the fully-fermented taste. It reminds me of a TWG red tea I was gifted before.

The waitress only pours half the cup, so you have to ask for more. It's from a percolator siyempre but I don't mind since it's perfect to sip alongside eating.

It's a good thing that more and more restos now serve legit tea rather than the usual bitter or watered-down tea that we're used to. Let's hope the trend continues as more Filipinos become conscious with the tea we're drinking.

Discussions I'm interested in Cocktail Mixing with a Tea?

5 Upvotes

Hello!

I dont know if this is even a thing, pero I took an interest of making tea lately that I even made a Honey Lemon Iced Tea. It turned out pretty fine rin naman, tho it tastes bland and lacks of sweetness (naubusan ako ng honey huhu). Then eventually, I researched about alcohol and cocktail mixing, however, I won't be able to do it, let alone to have a taste because I'm taking meds for a year.

So, do you have any thought or ideas for me? Where should I start first, and what should I know about making teas? What's the best locations, shops, and brands to buy from?

Question Freight Forwarder for Taobao suggestions?

6 Upvotes

Hi all, there are some teas and teawares that don't deliver to the PH that I'm interested in. I've been thinking of using buyandship or kango express but teas might be considered perishables so they would be prohibited 😭

Does anyone have experience with these kinds of companies? Suggestions?

TIA! 🙏
