By William I. Lengeman III Tea can do many things for our health, or so we’ve been told over the course of the past few years or so. But what can it possibly do for our feet? If you’ve ever had the misfortune to encounter a pair of shoes that are past their prime you might have a clue. [...] Continue Reading… Por Mónica U. La versatilidad de nuestra adorada Camellia sinensis es indiscutible, pero ¿cómo es posible que una humilde planta pueda crear tantos y maravillosos tipos de té? El secreto de esto es la oxidación de las hojas. [...] Continue Reading… By A.C. Cargill The Land Down Under is famous for many things, including the Sydney Opera House, kangaroos, Crocodile Dundee, vegemite, and tea. Yes, tea! Their close association with Britain over the last few centuries makes this hardly surprising. Of course, the fact that tea is the second most popular beverage, after water, on the planet, makes the Aussie passion [...] Continue Reading… By William I. Lengeman III Japan and black tea - they go together like…well. Ummm. Actually black tea and Japan don’t go together all that well at all, at least not as far as most of us are aware. When we think of Japanese tea most of us think of a variety of green teas [...] Continue Reading… By Lainie Petersen I confess to being highly suspicious of Stash’s Organic Earl Grey Black & Green Tea.

How else do hubby and I decide which we like best? Don’t worry, no blood was spilt, just a bit of tea here and there.

Dinner parties, annual traditions, and holiday festivities are par for the course this month. At this time of year, a thoughtful gift is also part of the sharing that happens amongst people.

Traditional white tea, also known as silver needle, is made entirely from the fuzzy buds of the tea plant. While it is often a gorgeous tea, it is a subtle one, and its subtlety doesn’t suit everyone. For that reason, there are now several “new style” white teas made from tea leaf instead of, or in addition to, the tea buds. [...] Continue Reading… By A.C. Cargill Mince pies and bakewells and cakes, oh my — you’ll find these and more in the Mr. Kipling product lineup. This British company has been busy baking and bringing scrumptious joy to several generations now. During the winter holidays, they are especially popular. [...] Continue Reading… Por Mónica U. Como pudimos ver en la historia del té. Los británicos compitieron contra la producción de té en China llevando las plantas a la India, su colonia en el lejano oriente. [...] Continue Reading… |
