About Nanaʼs Green Tea Café
Established ten years ago in Tokyo, ʻʻNanaʼs Green Teaʼʼ is a pioneer of Japanese cafe
dealing with ʻʻMatchaʼʼ, green powdered tea.

"Nana's Green Tea" gained popularity and became known as the ʻJapanese Starbucksʼ where tea drinking is a culture. Nanaʼs Green Tea Cafe was also awarded the No.1 brand among Japanese cafe. 

All green tea leaves served in the Café are imported from Kyoto only, which is the most famous production center of ʻʻMatchaʼʼ, aiming at delivering genuine Japanese taste and health to modern people. Our aim is to introduce the finest Japanese food culture and tradition to the world and enrich people's life.

The logo mark is designed in the motif of ʻCha-senʼ, a tea stirrer. Combined with the idea of ʻnanahaʼ, which means seven leaves. From this, the logo is thus named ʻnana-senʼ.

CeeLo green, Rob Stewart, Jamie Oliver and sorted foods

May almost over??!?!?!?!?!?! Why time pass so fast one!!!

So many stuff to do... and sooo little time!

Many entries back, I mentioned that I going to cut down my online time right?? Well.. it work out fine at first.. until recently I fall back to my vicious cycle of late night(shake head), sitting infront of the computer and do nothing... why YOUTUBE have to be soooo tempting one (watching from comedy to foods channels ( Jamie Oliver and my other top favourites would be SORTED FOOD)

  Jamie Oliver

Especially when both mix together (HEAVEN!!!)

Beside YOUTUBE... many new albums releasing!!! Jonas Brothers (YES... me loving their style of songs), Rob Stewart, Ceelo Green and ects... guess the amount of "gossips" that I have to follow up! lolx

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® Tea Cappuccinos in Chai, Scottish Breakfast and Anniversary Blend Tea (review)

Tea tea tea tea tea ... and tea in cappuccinos form!! I cannot help it and took up this offer to "taste" the new limited tea cappuccinos from the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® (whispering "I love their English Breakfast tea latte")

Stop by Coffee Bean a few days ago with my sisters to have some "tai tai" lifestyle by sipping teas and cappuccino before dinner. (Ariya is having double shot cappuccino - she is NOT a tea person)

 Anniversary Blend Tea

This one is by far the stronger "scent" among the 3 Tea Cappuccino. The berries scent were very strong and the combination of tea, foamed milk, vanilla bean sauce and berries are very unique. 

I'm not a fruity/floral tea person, but this is an ok combination for me - the acai berry taste wasn't too strong (not sour at all).

Scottish Breakfast Tea Cappuccino

I love Coffee Bean English breakfast tea latte, and when I Scottish Breakfast in the limited tea cappuccino... I have to try it!!!!

Hmmm... I normally prefer creamy and richer tea, so this is abit too light for my liking, BUT the blend of vanilla bean sauce add abit of richness and make it a bit unique.

Chai Tea Cappuccino

I didn't have this in the cafe, but in take away form.

This taste like a mild version of chai tea - the spice taste wasn't that strong, not as sweet and creamy. If you are someone who think that chai tea is abit too rich, this version is the one to try.

Among all 3 limited Tea Cappuccino, my fave would be Chai Tea Cappuccino, like I mention above, I like stronger and richer teas.. but not a fan of "fruity" tea.

All Tea cappuccino are not that creamy, if you not a fan of creamy milk tea, you can give tea cappuccino a try.

Tea Cappuccinos will be available for a limited period of eight weeks, from 8 April to 25 May 2013 at all Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.

Price : SD$6.00 each


I'm not affiliated with the company.
Complimentary vouchers were provided for tasting.

Shouldn't consist this as a foods hunt (I think I eat more type of foods for normal outing! lolx)

Random buy.... a tiny break from foods!

Back in January, Ming and I... plus a certain someone decided to do a foods hunting trip and also exchange christmas presents.

(Well, I'm the one suggesting foods hunting la .. cos I love to eat and I wanna try foods that we never tried before.)

Made so many plans, but that someone like not interested in whatever foods we (Ming and I) saw or suggested... I wonder why she agree to come along in the first place?

Anyway, going to plan our next foods hunting... with real foods lovers who know how to eat!!!
Can't wait can't wait can't wait ^^ !!!
