On Spring, Spring Cleaning, and Tea
Spring is always a welcome time for those who live in cold climates and probably a little more so this year for those who live in certain chilly regions of the United States. Spring is also looked forward to quite eagerly by avid tea fans, as it’s the time of the year in many regions… Continue reading

Tea People: Thomas Shu
Because I spend a lot of time writing about tea for this site nowadays I post a lot of tea commercials and other videos at my own site. It was while I was seeking out tea videos that might be worth passing on (and from an email from my Esteemed Editor) that I became aware of… Continue reading

A Space for Tea
As a tea drinker I don’t get around much. For the most part, I drink tea at home and at work. I don’t go to teahouses and the like for a number of reasons. The first reason is location, location, location. While there’s one in town that has a good reputation and whose fine tea… Continue reading

Recent and Upcoming Tea Books 14

The Tea of the Irish
For some mysterious reason March seems to be the time of the year when many people turn their thoughts to all things Irish. But seriously.
