Speed Tea Revisited
As I’ve noted many times before – though it certainly bears repeating – tea is often presented as a low-key, calming alternative to that other drink. You know the one. Though they both offer a kick thanks to their caffeine content, tea also contains a compound called theanine, which is thought to provide something of… Continue reading

On Microflavoring Tea
Don’t bother looking for a definition of the term “microflavoring” by the way. I tried looking for it, just to be sure, and I didn’t find one. Which is not surprising, given that it’s a term I just recently coined. I don’t expect that it’s going to catch on, but here’s the story of how… Continue reading

Recent and Upcoming Tea Books 10

I have mixed feelings about India’s teas. If I had to pick a variety of tea that’s disappointed me the most over the years, I’d go with Darjeeling. I’ve only been drinking tea for about eight years now and in the early days I found myself quite impressed with the unique flavor profile of this… Continue reading

Tea Revives the World
On top of all of the injuries the British had to endure during World War II there was also the insult of having their tea supplies disrupted. Which may sound minor when you stack it up against being bombed and all that sort of thing, and it probably is. But when one of the things… Continue reading

The Journal of Tea Science
Writing articles for The English Tea Store Blog and publishing a tea site of my own means I do a fair amount of research about tea. I’d hardly consider myself an expert but I’ve learned a few things over the years. But when I come up against the more technical aspects of tea I realize… Continue reading
