Known this friend recently nickname Jokercai and his dialect is Hakka. It reminds me of the Thunder Tea Rice ( Lei Cha), a Hakka tea-based beverage that I ever tried few times at my aunty's house. It consist of mix tea leaves and herbs that are ground or pounded together with various roasted nuts, seeds or grains.
You could use any type of tea leaf to mix match the taste you like the most, however normally people used green tea and oolong.
Eager to know how it looks like? Sharing with you the below blogger has show a very nice photos of Thunder Tea Rice and the benefits of it.

What to do with used tea leaves?
After you drink the tea, what you normally do with used tea leaves? Many people just throw away the tea bag or tea leaves. It is a waste to me!
What do I do?
1) Put the tea bag in a cup and leave it in the fridge. It will help to absorb the bad food odor in fridge.
2) Collect all the used tea leaves and drying it up under the sun. After that slot in all the dried and used tea leaves into the pillow case. Tea leaves pillow smell good. In order to enhance the smell, you could have 2 drops of flower accents on the used tea leaves.
3) Rub your fingers/ hand with used tea leaves for 5 mins after you've seafood meal with hand. It will help to get rid of the seafood smell like prawns, crabs and lobster.
4) Leave your used tea leaves as the fertilizer of your flowering plants.
5) Put the tea bag in a cup and leave it in the fridge for 10 mins. Then you could put your tea bags on your eyes for 5 mins. Do it twice weekly and it will help to reduce the dark eye circle and make you looks good!
Look forward to receive some suggestions and any other methods that you would like to share with me on this topic. :)

Maum Tea Bags & Christmas Tree Tea Packaging by Wdaru Design Studio
Last night I was chit chating with a stranger from Helsinki, Finland. It was great because from the conversation it reminds me alot of my Finland trip in year 2009 Christmas.
Then I've found the below cute tea bags that reminds me one of the Finnish's activities at Northern, Finland. Normally after hot sauna in the room, they will walk towards outdoor in naked and jump into the well/hole with cold water (or I should say ice water, haha!). I think they'll stay for 10-15 mins then close the well/hole with steel cover (before it turn into ice) then walk back to the hot sauna room again. They'll repeat this process for few times. In the indoor hot sauna room, I think about 80-90 degree celcius and the outdoor temperature below minus 20-25 degree celsius. According to Finnish, they'll feel good and refresh after this activity. They believe in this way will make them stay healthy during winter season. Me and other tourmates were shaking our head as it is unbelievable if you don't fall sick by having hot cold hot cold process in a short period of time. Hahaha!! Oh well....
I hope my this stranger Finnish friend will visit my blog again and do leave me a comment on this post. Look forward to hear from you. ^____^
Below are the cute tea bags design by Wdaru Design Studio that have been reminded me alot of sweet memories during my 11 days Finland trip during Christmas season in year 2009.
The 1st man who looks like swimming on the ice pool.
The 2nd man who catches the fish reminds me of the ice fishing at Finland but of course it is slightly different from the design. Finnish used a tool to drill a hole then sitting on the ice and waiting for the fish. Hehe!
The 3rd man looks like who just out from the hot sauna room and enjoying the outdoor ice water pool. At the same time he covered his face with the hot towel. :)
The reindeer and the Santa Claus, ie. the symbol of Christmas for me! During my childhood days, I didn't believe from a tv cartoon show a reindeer able to fetch the heavy Santa Claus and alots of Christmas gifts. After visited Finland, I had to believe it because we went to the reindeer farm and enjoyed the reindeer sledging. I've been cheated by the lousy cartoonist's illustration whereby the reindeer size is very big and it is not a normal deer size, ok? Believe me!! :p
More wonderful photos can be found at Wdaru's website.

Lighting tea bag?
This is really out of my imagination. I like the idea very much! Really curious about what type of material could make it becomes a lighting tea bag?! Hmmmm....
I'm very sure that if there is no electricity and candles, you will still enjoy your tea in the dark!
I think it will be a splendid idea to have a cup of hot camomile tea with this lighting tea bag at the mountain peak during night time, while admiring the stars in the dark sky. Errr... I think it will be extremely fantastic if the lighting tea bag able to have the lighting on and off just like the twinkle twinkle little stars!!! Hahahahah...

Cigarettea? Is cigarette tea bags!
Although Princess Camomile doesn't like smoking and cigarette, however this design is pretty impressive! Perhaps for those tea drinkers who like to smoke out there will like it so much!
By the way, do you think they'll confuse the real cigarette and the cigarettea? Hahaha... :p
