Recent and Upcoming Tea Books IV
As I was gearing up to write the latest edition of this column I thought I would browse through Amazon’s Kindle store, looking for books on a certain topic (first two guesses don’t count). As I did so, I found myself amazed and slightly befuddled at how many versions there are of Kakuzo Okakura’s influential… Continue reading

Spring Forth into a Summer of Tea
When it comes to tea, certain seasons are known for certain things. I’m drawing a blank when it comes to autumn and winter, though it’s safe to say those are times when the warming qualities of a nice hot cup of tea are much appreciated. We are currently passing through spring, perhaps best known for… Continue reading

Do We Really Need 60 Second Tea?
Much has been said about the fast pace of modern life. So much, as a matter of fact, that I won’t belabor the point by saying much more. I’m not one to sit around and wail and gnash my teeth about this sort of thing because we can all choose the pace at which we… Continue reading

Tea as a Weapon
I can’t really presume to speak for the good people who bring you this blog, but in this instance I’m going to make an assumption. I’m going to assume that they, like yours truly, do not condone the use of their fine teas as a weapon. But if the truth be told, from time to… Continue reading

What the 800-Pound Gorilla Has to Say About Tea
If you’re of a certain age, you might recall popular commercials for a certain stockbroker (if not, you can always turn to YouTube). After the mere mention of their name reliably caused an entire room to go silent, the proceedings closed with the catchphrase, “when E.F. Hutton talks, people listen.” Which is a roundabout way… Continue reading

PG Tips Monkey Pens Life Story
It might be stretching the point a bit to say that PG Tips, the popular British tea maker, built their success on their clever advertising campaigns. It would have all been for nought if no one liked their tea but it probably didn’t hurt that they’ve come up with some of the best known ad… Continue reading

Celebrity Tea News
Where would we be without our beloved celebrities? It was F. Scott Fitzgerald who once wrote, “Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me.” I’m sure there’s more than a few grains of truth to that but at least one way in which celebrities tend to come down… Continue reading

The Dangers of Tea Bags?
As if we didn’t have enough to be concerned about. Tea bags? Really? There are those who would say that the easiest way to sidestep any potential dangers with tea bags is not to use them at all. Which might be a valid point and one that I can agree with, to some extent, given… Continue reading

Tea Review — The English Tea Store’s Lovers Leap Estate Tea
Ceylon tea is still something of an unknown (or perhaps lesser known these days) quantity for me, but that’s gradually starting to change as more samples start to trickle in. I sampled a few from another merchant a while back that were good but not great. Most recently I took the English Tea Store’s Organic… Continue reading

Monthly Tea Gadget and Offbeat News Report VI
Is drinking tea bad for you? Well, apparently it is if you drink it to ridiculous excess. Of course, you could probably make the argument that anything you consume in ridiculous amounts becomes bad for you. A recent report in the New England Journal of Medicine has garnered a rather ridiculous amount of press in… Continue reading
