Tea Review: English Tea Store Golden Heaven Yunnan
I consider myself to be a rather avid fan of Assam tea, a black variety that hails from the Assam region of India. Although I’m always careful to note that Assam teas are definitely not all created equal and some of them are rather yucky, to be quite honest. But I’m such a fan of… Continue reading

A Visit From the Tea Fairy
Is there such a thing as too much free tea? Oh, please. Perish the thought. But I will say that every once in a while I am presented with so much free tea that it almost seems a bit overwhelming. Not that it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to me, mind you. It went… Continue reading

“The Animated Tea Service,” by Richard André
In my last article on a children’s book with a tea connection – Aunt Martha’s Stories About Tea – I remarked on the relative dearth of such books. Lo and behold, not long after writing that one I happened to run across another kid’s book from yesteryear with just such a connection. The Animated Tea… Continue reading

One of the things I’ve learned over the course of many years of drinking, studying, and writing about tea is that everyone likes what they like and there really is no one correct way to do things. Of course, there are certain useful guidelines to follow if you want the best cup of tea –… Continue reading

Tea in Strange Places – The Latest
My most recent article about tea in strange places was concerned with a few of the more offbeat places you can go to drink tea. Prior to that I wrote several installments that focused on growing tea in places that are not normally considered hotbeds of tea production. See the latest of those articles here.… Continue reading

The Best Tea Cup, Mug, or Glass
If I had to drink tea in a Styrofoam cup or one of those cardboard carryout cups with the molded plastic top that seem all the rage these days, I’d have to think long and hard about it. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’d prefer no tea at all, and I… Continue reading

What tea you drink for Halloween and thereabouts might have a lot to do with whether you’re human or creature. If you’re not sure which side of the fence you fall on, I can’t help you much with that. But read on and I’ll try to cover a little bit of each. HUMANS As a… Continue reading
