Sayuri Saying
About this episode

I’ve recently fallen in love with tea! In this episode, I talk about why I bought a new kettle (again)😅, how water temperature can totally change a tea’s flavor, and my favorite find—a tea sampler with 30 types from a Japanese brand. You’ll also hear a funny word mix-up and learn tea-related vocabulary. Cozy up and join me on this tasty tea adventure!
