Genmaicha.

Wednesday, September 25, 2013

I drink green tea regularly. It is an inexpensive and healthy drink with antioxidants, not the sweetened types sold in cans and bottles, of course.

Then, I was introduced to Genmaicha a few years ago at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Very nice!

What is Genmaicha? Green tea with roasted brown rice.

This type of tea was originally drunk by poor Japanese, as the rice served as a filler and reduced the price of the tea; which is why it is also known as the "people's tea." It was also used by those persons fasting for religious purposes or who found themselves to be between meals for long periods of time.

Today, instead of buying my regular OSK green tea from NTUC Fairprice, I bought a box of Genmaicha. 50 satchets for only S$5.95.


Made in Japan and not by its neighbour.

Individually packed.

Nice color.

Will provide me with weeks of drinking pleasure without the atas pricing of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. That makes me happy!

Marco Polo Marine: Exciting times ahead!

Today, Marco Polo Marine's share price rose significantly on the back of much higher volume and the recent visit by a group of investors to the company's yard in Batam could have something to do with it:

Last week, we brought a group of investors to MPM’s Batam yard. We saw all three drydocks busy with repair operations, and the construction of a third-party 8,000bhp AHTS vessel and two similar vessels for its own fleet. In preparation for better shipbuilding times, a new slipway is almost complete. Investors were most interested in the company’s 20% net margins.

 
 
MPM and associate PT BBR are on the cusp of renewing their AHTS charters, with current contracts expiring in September to November. With AHTS supply still trailing far demand in Indonesia, we are highly confident that each vessel will be re-chartered immediately at prevailing market rates, which are 33% higher.

Good things come to those who wait.
