Simple Line Online!

I haven't been going to simple line much lately since I've had no classes for the past 6 or so months. But this morning when I dropped by their shop ( more on that later)I saw an announcement of their "new" website. It's simple and to the point, just like their cups of tea. What got me really excited was seeing that the newly opened Banawe branch offers sitting space! It's their first store outside Manila City, too. Congratulations to Simple Line for their continuing success!


And yes, I did drop by their store earlier to get my favorite Melon Green Tea. I think the guy who made my tea was new and looking at him preparing I just knew something was wrong-- or scratch that, different-- about my order. It turned out he put milk on my Melon fruit tea. Why not Melon milk tea, right? So I resisted the urge to complain and quickly got my order lest the cashier sees the mistake. Once out, I had a sip. Melon milk tea it is, like the way my grandma's melon milk ice candy was when we were kids! A warning, though : this is not for everyone (the same way their milk green tea is not for everyone)! My only worry when I noticed the mistake was that the drink would taste bitter... well, it was very close to being so, but it wasn't. :)

tea again

So I'm drinking tea again. And I'm not supposed to right now for two reasons:

1) I just had coffee this afternoon and this is just too much caffeine for me.
2) Colds!
but why not? Yougurt + Green tea is just genius!

Can't have enough! Herbal Jelly Green and Black Tea from Simple Line.

Tea-drinkers Rejoice!

I am a tea-drinker. That is one of the things I got from my mom ( who boils all kinds of different leaves for tea :)). I stopped drinking tea for quite some time but recently got back to it, partly, because of this:

Coffee Konjac Black Tea by Simple Line

Simple Line has got a huge following in the year or so that it's opened near UST but I only got around to tasting it a week ago. I'd say this would be one of my commercial tea favorites (and I've got a feeling I'd be posting a lot about tea in the coming months!).

 Their tea has a strong flavor especially the green teas which tastes and smells much like the jasmine teas served at old Chinese restaurants-- very calming. Also the distinct clinking sound of the ice reminds me of rain sticks (bamboo instruments that sound like rain or a stream when moved). There are a wide selection of fruit and milk tea mixes, almost all in either green or black varieties. It sounds elaborate but the special thing about this line is well-stated in it's name: simple.
