This is a box of tea bags not loose tea. I really like this Jasmine tea selection. It's light and flavorsome with a bit of bitter after-taste coming from the green tea mix. I like it in the evenings when I want a low-caffeine tisane. Very good quality teabags, too. I will buy it again.
This
is large box of loose leave Pu er tea. Pu er is a very strong tea,
stronger than any strong black breakfast tea, so I use half of the
quantity I'd use to prepare my normal tea. In fact, I can reuse the
leaves twice and still get flavorsome tea. This tea not only has a
strong smoky flavor but also a noticeable strong smoky smell. I take
this tea with milk due to its strength; personally, I'd not have it on
its own. This isn't the first time I use this variety of tea, so I can
compared it against other brands I've used in the past, and the brew is
as good as more expensive brands. This is an amazing value for money
package as Pu er is a rare tea variety and it's usually quite expensive.
MIND = There aren't brewing instructions on the package.
This
is a decent set of permanent (not water-soluble) crayons. I use them
for mark making in my mixed media projects. The pigments are decent and
noticeable. I'd say they are a cheap alternative to good quality
permanent crayons if you are on a tight budget and if you want them for
non-professional use, needless to say. Amazing value for money.
DOWNSIDES > The sticks snap half easily if you exert a little bit of pressure. > The paper labels covering each stick aren't the color of the stick but the family color they belong to. > The choice of color isn't the best. There are too many oranges and not enough greens and not even a brown.
Great telescopic canvas pouch that holds tons of stuff. I put all my Ohohus inside (36 markers) and there is still room for more. Very cute design, and it can easily be stored when not needed. It stands up easily. Beware not to use the pouch when painting with acrylics as it can be easily stained. Good value for money.
Wonderful 300 gsm watercolor paper perfect for mixed media, watercolor painting and heavy collage. I've used this with acrylic paints, collage and mixed media, and it stands well multiple layers of paint, embellishments and other materials (chipboard die-cuts, burlap, fabric, other paper, etc.) as well as spray inks. It's slightly larger than A4 (see my photo). Easy to remove from the pad. It's quite smooth but it has a bit of tooth (see my photo). Best non-professional watercolor paper I've ever used. I'll buy it again.
I bought this to use it in my mixed media projects, so I cannot comment on how it works for cheese making or cooking.
I
have used it both to create rugged textured backgrounds and elements of
decoration and I'm very pleased with the results. It needs heavy gel
medium to glue it to the paper. I'd say it's not the best cloth for
mixed media, but it's very good nevertheless. I've uploaded a photo of a
project I'm working on, which has the background made of this cloth as
well as the 'nest', tinted with different ink sprays. It absorbs inks
beautifully with little amount of ink used.
For the rest, it's great value for money as this is a quite large piece of cloth.
The
only downside for mixed media it is that that the gaping between
threads is quite large, which makes the handling of the fabric on
projects a bit annoying.
This is a beautiful semi-opaque heavy-body turquoise acrylic. It's a bit pricey but a tiny amount of product goes a long way. The color is absolutely stunning and very versatile as, depending on the quantity I use, it looks a quite dark or almost translucent. This is the first Liquitex professional heavy-body acrylic I've bought, and it's totally worth the money.
