Chrysanthemum Spa Tea

I absolutely love floral teas, and Chrysanthemum Flower is no exception. While in Singapore, I had the pleasure of trying it in various forms, but the spa version was simply divine. The aroma of the tea was like walking through a fresh garden, and the addition of lime gave it a delightful citrusy kick. The honey provided just the right amount of sweetness, and the tea was so refreshing on a hot sauna. It was the perfect way to unwind and relax after a long flight.

Spice Cream

February 4th is National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day. If you're not making your ice cream into SPICE cream, you're definitely missing out. Here are some of our favorite (and unexpected!) flavor combos for you to try at home.With Vanilla: Madras Curry may surprise you as a pairing for ice cream (it surprised us too!) but once you taste it, it's impossible to deny. The bright pop of ginger and warm hint of cinnamon make it an ideal topping for vanilla. The two flavors combined will leave you with a slight hint of citrus on your tongue. Hojicha is a roasted green tea finely milled that brings a smooth, earthy, and nutty flavor to your bowl of vanilla. It's the perfect way to start the day! Cinnamon Toast Spice is such an obvious winner on vanilla ice cream, you're probably wondering why you hadn't thought of it yourself! The warm flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar pair well with your ice cream while evoking all the flavors of your favorite breakfast. With Chocolate: Kashmiri Garam Masala is deep and dark roasted with warm spices like cinnamon. Cloves make this blend intensely flavorful. Mouth wateringly aromatic, our Garam Masala brings out the best in chocolate. Alderwood Smoked Salt has an incredible amount of flavor in a single ingredient! Salty with a hint of campfire, this topping balances the richness in the chocolate. Urfa Biber is truly a unicorn of a chile. Naturally earthy with hints of tobacco, it will give you a mellow kick of heat that instantly gets cooled by the ice cream.
