Teazzi Tea Shop- Apple Green Tea, Bali Indonesia


It is so hot here I am always looking for tea to drink!
Even after I just came from afternoon tea!!

I literally was just outside for 5 minutes and you can see the sweat under my eyes starting to roll.  It was so hot....hahahaha.

They had some fun options, but since I had just had the great apple tea in Taiwan, I wanted to try another apple tea.

I went for the Apple Green Tea.


This was a nice green tea with apple flavor.  Nothing overly special, but it was fine.  It was a green tea with apple notes.  It was slightly sweet.  It was refreshing. There was a definite language barrier here when I was ordering and asking questions, but that is on me, not him.


This tea shop was in a nice shopping area.  There were a fair amount of shops around, but I was too hot to really explore much.


Instead of the 20 minute walk back to the hotel, I paid the $2.00 for a Grab, hahahaha.

Movenpick Afternoon Tea, Bali Indonesia

Before the conference started, I had a day or two to adjust to the time change and prepare the kids room and buy any supplies needed.  
I also took a few hours off to have an afternoon tea!


Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali 

tea was served in the Anarasa Restaurant.

I thought it would be as advertised on line- "

Enjoy our afternoon tea with a tempting sweets buffet and free flow of tea and coffee options with tropical garden views on the veranda of the Katha lobby lounge."  But, the restaurant was very nice too.


I did some research before I left the states.  I booked my afternoon tea based off-
1. walking distance from my hotel (20 minute walk)
2. cost (this was $13.88)
3. tea and food served

The heat was a lot and I ended up taking a "Grab" (like an uber) to and from...it only cost $2.12, lol.
Next time I may go a little further for something a little more traditional Indonesian and not plan on walking....


I was very surprised there were two plates of sweets....I would have rather had two plates of spring rolls and dumplings, lol.

I also had a pot of Dilmah jasmine tea.


I had spring roll, and a "purse"- often called a dumpling or money bag


Dilmah Jasmine Tea.  It was very good...I drank the entire pot.


I am not sure what all was on my plate, but I did enjoy it!

Matcha tart, scone, raspberry macaron, a mango tart, and some sort of chocolate cake.


I made a faux pas and I cut the scone the wrong direction!

And I can't ever decide if the clotted cream goes on first or the jelly- so I put them side by side.


Such a reasonable price for all I received! 


I would give this afternoon tea a 5 out of 5 teacups!  The staff was very friendly and helpful.  The food was very good.  Everything was clean and pretty.  The tea was nice too.  The best was the price!
I would do this again...but maybe ask for more savory or the sweets.



I enjoyed all the different restroom symbols while in Indonesia.  


How fun are these lounge seats???

Indonesia Grocery Store shopping for Tea


Five minutes from our hotel was this grocery store. 

This was the CoCo Market, https://cocogroupbali.com/

I always enjoy heading into local stores to see the tea and goodies they have to offer.


I ended up buying some instant mangosteen tea.  These became my new favorite fruit.  I had never had them before and I thought they were great.  My old favorite fruit used to be persimmons that I first had in Spain.

I also bought a Rosella instant tea and a ginger one.  All made in Indonesia.



mangosteen



The Bali Life Kombucha was very good, and only $2.05 a bottle.




I also bought Teh Botol by Sosro, a black tea - We had a refrigerator in our room, so I was able to keep it cold and enjoy it at the end of the day.  One place called it the national drink of Indonesia, lol.
They also have it Jasmine, but I didn't see it in Jasmine.


I also tried  Liang Teh Cap Badak herbal tea.
I put this cute little can in my suitcase to bring home to put with my Indonesia tea trinkets and it was missing when I got home.  Not sure if someone at the airport took it out, but I found it odd it was missing.
A traditional herbal refreshment drink intended to relieve "internal heat" (panas dalam), which can include symptoms like sore throats, dry throats, and mouth ulcers.


Lastly, I tried Cha Xiaokai (茶小开) brand bottled tea, likely the Osmanthus Longjing flavor.


Over all I enjoyed hunting down and trying some new teas while in Indonesia for a week.

They had a nice variety to select from....



I brought back the Kopi Luwak Chocolate for myself and my coworkers to try....

"Kopi Luwak chocolate typically refers to premium artisan chocolate bars infused with Kopi Luwak (civet) coffee, a rare coffee known for its exceptionally smooth, low-acid, and naturally earthy flavor profile.
Because the beans pass through the digestive tract of Asian palm civets, the natural enzymatic process breaks down bitterness and imparts robust, naturally occurring hints of dark caramel, spice, and cocoa. When blended with high-quality dark or milk chocolate, it yields a luxurious, deeply aromatic treat." from AI


I bought some Bali chocolates but I was not a fan...they add coco butter to it and it has this soft, almost waxy taste to it.



One morning I took the kids shopping here.  They each had $10 to spend.  They absolutely loved it!!



Durian, the stinky fruit!! In Malaysia the elevators in the hotel say, "No Durian allowed".

Durian 

The flowers of Indonesia are so stunning!


More sights on my way to the market.



Fish for sale



Don't be afraid to get out there and try new things...and new teas!

Bali Starbucks - Hibiscus tea with raspberries


Starbucks was less than a 5 minute walk from my hotel.

This is one of my favorite stories from my trip...The traffic is crazy!  I was standing by the massage sign and 3 young gals were sitting there.  I said, "How do I cross."  thinking maybe there was a spot to stand or something.
They did not understand, so one went inside and brought out who I assume was their mom.  I asked her and she repeated it to her girls in Indonesian.  One of the young girls, probably not over 10, grabbed my hand and before I knew it she was running me across the street.  
When we crossed the street, we were both laughing. I looked at her and said thanks. And just like that she crossed back over.
Such sweet people of Indonesia!





I wanted to try some of their new flavors, but they were all out of the them.  He said that they sold out of the tea fast and he wasn't sure when they would get the ingredients in again.


Night one, I went easy on the food.  I ate at Starbucks.
I ordered a turkey and cheese croissant with purple sweet potato chips.
I ordered the Passion tea like I get at home, but here they added raspberries to it.  IT was very good.


I liked the addition of the fruit in the Hibiscus tea.  The staff was friendly and the place was very clean.




They had a few fun mugs.  I ended up getting the dark blue travel mug that said Bali.  I also brought some back for a co-worker.


I wanted to get a Bali mug, but they were out of that too.  They just had the small one.





Some of their fun food treats...




The evening was MUCH cooler to walk around in, lol!
