Recent and Upcoming Tea Books III
In my last incarnation of this column I devoted the entire space to looking at a few tea books that weren’t recent and upcoming but instead were eminently worthwhile titles that, for whatever reason, I hadn’t had a chance to cover before. While truth in column titling laws probably prevent me from doing that on… Continue reading

Alexander McCall Smith and George Orwell Talk Tea
One of the many things I’ve discovered in the years I’ve been writing about tea is that the British have strong opinions when it comes to this topic. In 1946, just three years before writing his most famous work (1984), British author George Orwell set forth some of his strong opinions on tea in A… Continue reading

Weight Loss Tea: A Closer Look
I’ve been mumbling and grumbling about tea, health, and weight loss for years. I’m tired of hearing myself rant about the topic, but I’ll start by briefly restating my position. I acknowledge that there are many studies indicating that tea is good for you. There are even some that suggest that tea has a connection… Continue reading

East Frisian Tea Culture
If you’re like me, you probably don’t know much about East Frisia. No disrespect to the good people who live there but, if it weren’t for tea, I probably wouldn’t know anything either. Even as I began to write this article, I realized that my knowledge of the region was hazy, to say the least.… Continue reading

Coffee and Tea Industries and the Flavor Field
For every magazine you might happen across on a newsstand these days (be it an actual physical newsstand or its digital equivalent) there at least several other titles that you’re never going to encounter – unless you happen to be a part of the specialized industry or business niche that they cover. In the past… Continue reading

Tea Review — The English Tea Store’s Organic Ceylon
Most of us have probably heard the term terra incognita, but perhaps you’ve never thought much about where it comes from. As the story goes, once upon a time the phrase was inscribed upon those areas of maps that were an unknown. Nowadays, of course, these areas don’t take up as much space as they… Continue reading

Monthly Tea Gadget and Offbeat News Report V
These reports are a forum for discussing gadgets and offbeat tea-related news, but it seems that the coverage sometimes is slanted toward the former. So I’ll start things off this time around with what I thought was a decidedly offbeat bit of tea news. According to this article, it seems that black tea – in… Continue reading

On the Fine Art of Describing Tea
I’ll bet I’m not the first person to remark that the spectacle of someone describing wine in flowery, high-falutin’ language can be just the tiniest bit ridiculous. In fact, I know I’m not. I can’t recall any specific instances, but I know it’s the sort of thing that I’ve seen mined for comic effect on… Continue reading

Narrowing My Tea Options
It was a little less than a year ago that I wrote an article in these pages in which I sang the praises of a varied approach to tea drinking. Although at the time I was only alternating between green and black tea. After drinking one of these for a short time I found that… Continue reading

Smoke Gets in Your Tea
I don’t have a problem with smoke flavoring in foods. It seems like a sensible idea, although given that I don’t eat meat anymore I’m probably not able to take full advantage of it. When it comes to tea, however, it’s a different story. I’ve been drinking tea for more than seven years now, and… Continue reading
