Hello! Welcome to Geeky Tea Time! As you can probably guess, I love tea and have strong geeky tendencies. With a full-time job and the general hustle and bustle of busy life, I wanted to take some time to slow down and really focus on the things I like and care about. This blog will…
Endless Bubbles: Afternoon Tea at The Peninsula Beverly Hills Hotel
It got fancy. Very fancy. As one does when they visit Southern California for the first time, finding afternoon tea in La La Land was on the top of my to-do list. OK, tea time might not be at the top of everyone’s list, but after our experience at The Peninsula Beverly Hills, I would…
Healing Tea: The Café at Thistle Farms
Tea is a powerful drink. It can calm you down, invigorate you, sharpen your mind, and put you to sleep. Heck, in The Sims 4, there’s a tea machine that can outright change your emotions depending on your Sim’s brew of choice. While anytime can be right for tea, one of the best ways to…
Across the Pond: London Fog Tea Latte from Aldi
Who here loves Aldi? -raises hand- Truth be told, my family didn’t really shop at Aldi for our groceries. We’ve had one in my hometown for as long as I could remember, but we may have stopped in only once to see if they had Tamogotchis (they didn’t). I’m ashamed to admit it, my impression…
Pokémon Practical: A Review of “Pokénatomy: The Science of Pokémon” by Christopher Stoll
As we’ve been stuck at home, some people have taken advantage of the quarantine by working on projects around the house, busting out the 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles, or picking up an instrument. I, however, decided to further my education by learning the scientific workings of my one of my favorite subjects: I completely flipped…
Ice Ice Baby: Iced Tea with AquaRosa from Kusmi Tea
According to people who are likely much smarter than me, drinking a hot drink on a hot day will actually be more effective in cooling your body down than drinking a cold drink. I’m not that dedicated to the cause. Gimme a cold drink on a hot day. In true Ohio fashion, we’ve been volleying…
Bubble Quaran-tea: DIY Bubble Tea at Home
Hello, Tea Friends. It’s been quite some time and, goodness knows, a lot has happened lately. I’m going on month 2 of working at home and am extremely thankful that my job and paycheck haven’t been hugely affected by the quarantine. I hope you all have been able to stay well. Undoubtedly, we’ve all had…
Pika Paradise: Pikachu Outbreak 2019
Some time last year, I saw this: View this post on Instagram 横浜みなとみらいで開催中のピカチュウ大量発生中チュウより、 Pokemon Synchronicity。 このレベルのショーを無料で見せてくれるなんて横浜市も太っ腹。 観覧車のライトもポケモンバージョンでした。本日最終日です。 2018.08.14撮影 #横浜みなとみらい #みなとみらい #ピカチュウ大量発生チュウ #PokemonSynchronicity #japan #kanagawa #yokohama #minatomirai #PikachuOutbreak #NightShow #myyokohama #キタムラ写真投稿 #写真好きな人と繋がりたい #japan_of_insta #japan_night_view #loves_nippon #team_jp_ #amazingdestination #art_of_japan_ #special_spot_ #pt_life_ #eos #eos6dmarkii A post shared by @ emirisa2007 on Aug 15, 2018 at 1:08pm PDT Whatever…
Submitted For Your Approval: My Favorite Episodes from “Are You Afraid of the Dark?”
History and common lore have alluded to many secret societies lurking around us. The Freemasons (are they really secret, though?), the Illuminati, the Knights Templar, pretty much any major subject of a Dan Brown book (which I totally dig). However, there is one secret society above all that I am itching join: The Midnight Society…
Flower Power: Aoyama Flower Market Tea House in Akasaka
My adventures in Japan continue (well, the blog posts at least. Still in Ohio)! While I had a great time at The Matcha Tokyo, another tea spot in Tokyo captured my heart and was an easy walk from where I was staying- Aoyama Flower Market Tea House. Aoyama Flower Markets can be found all over Japan,…
Den of Iniqui-tea: Afternoon Tea at the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas
What do you think about when you think of Las Vegas? This? Or this? Maybe this? How about this? To associate Las Vegas with afternoon tea might be a stretch. Lo and behold, it exists! My mom and I recently went…
