Perfect for my whimsical weekend matcha moods. I usually make it with frothed milk.

My cousins are British and I’ve developed a fondness for traditional black tea since childhood.
PG Tips | Traditional British Black Tea
I tried this tea at a mountain resort my family stayed at in a past winter, and I immediately fell in love with the fragrant quality of this black tea. As with all black teas, I tend to favor pairing it with a splash of cream or whole milk.
Harney & Sons | Paris Tea - Fruity Black Tea with Bergamot
This tea tastes like dessert!
Bigelow Tea | Vanilla Caramel Black Tea

This is such a refreshing tea when I'm in the mood for an herbal tea.

This milk tea is so yummy! My love of milk tea originated with Royal Milk Tea in Japan, but apparently Malaysians also know their way around a milk tea.
SUPER | Milk Tea
Soooo goooddddd!!! Very much a treat in a cup for me!
Nittoh | Royal Milk Tea
I rarely allow myself the luxury of buying this iced milk tea because I will consume it all in under a week. But, definitely a period carloric & monetary splurge that I can't resist!

Coffee
I have a Virtuo Nespresso machine, and this is my favorite flavor. I've tried a bunch of them and this is the one I've landed on as my preferred flavor. It's strong enough for me but doesn't skew bitter, which is my primary issue with most of the Nes...

Lovely blend discovered in Miami

Coffee Machinery
This is hands down my FAVORITE kitchen item. I legit rarely buy coffee out in the real world anymore. I particularly appreciate how the milk receptacle is detachable so it is incredibly simple to clean (by hand or in the dishwasher), unlike other mil...

I have an OG Vertuo machine in grey, which is great but on the bulkier side. If I could justify an upgrade, I'd go for this sleeker model in white!!

My parents have this machine and LOVE it!

Lakanto | Monkfruit Sweetener with Allulose
I try to avoid consuming too much cane sugar, and I've recently been excited about allulose, particularly because it doesn't have a weird aftertaste like stevia and other non-nutritive sweeteners. Also, it doesn’t raise insulin and blood sugar levels...health.clevelandclinic.org/what-is-allulose

My brother got me into this milk brand. It’s expensive but I find it worth it because it is lactose free and because of the lower sugar content. Also, it foams up so well!
