Friday Roundup: April 18th – April 24th

April 23, 2021October 6, 2021 Post a comment

The Friday Roundup is a weekly collection of five of my favorite blog posts from around the world. It’s my little way of getting the word out about all of my favorite tea blogs. Is there someone I’m missing? Let me know about it in the comments below!

Matcha Monday Masterclasses | Matcha Grading & How To Ensure You Are Getting The Best Quality

Kimberly from Tea is a Wish Your Heart Makes continued her matcha masterclass series by discussing grading and quality. This is such an important topic because there is a lot of low-quality matcha out here. Her advice to avoid supermarkets and health stores is spot on.

Small Business Spotlight: Wishfulteas

Nazanin from Tea Thoughts interviewed John from Wishfulteas about how he got started drinking tea and the story behind his company. There are many wonderful small businesses in the tea world (Tea Thoughts) included and I love seeing them support each other.

Eustacia from Eustea Reads gave her thoughts on a book that I recently enjoyed myself. Her blog is one of my go-to’s for book recommendations. We were definitely in agreement about some of the character flaws, but it was still an interesting story.

Tea tasting: Sakura Honoka (Kanei Hitokoto Seicha)

Mei from The Floating Tea Stem reviewed a tea made with what is fast becoming one of my favorite cultivars, Shizu-7132. It is known for having an aroma of sakura mochi. I really enjoyed all of the background information that they gave on the tea.
