  • Tea Reviewers Revisited

    There are tea review sites and then there are tea review sites. For a listing of some of the more noteworthy ones, take a look at this previous article, here at The English Tea Store Blog. I also took a more in-depth look at a couple of the largest tea review sites out there. They… Continue reading

  • Tea, Meet Coffee

    Tea is tea and coffee is coffee and never the twain shall meet. Or shall they? Well, if the truth must be told sometimes they come pretty close. While some tea drinkers wouldn’t touch coffee with a ten-foot stirring stick and there are coffee drinkers who feel the same way about tea, there are also… Continue reading

  • The Poetry of Tea

    I can’t honestly say that I’ve never written a poem about tea and I have a feeling that I probably never will. But I can see how it could happen. Every once in a while a tea comes along that’s sufficiently amazing that it could conceivably inspire a few lines of verse. And for that… Continue reading

  • Tea Around the World

    It’s not like you needed any more reasons to drink tea, right?

  • Relax and Perk Up with Tea

    Most of us are familiar with the notion of using a type of food or a beverage to help stimulate us. In the majority of cases caffeine or something like it is involved, though perhaps not always.

  • Tea Books: The Latest Crop

    Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred indecisions, And for a hundred visions and revisions, Before the taking of a toast and tea. – T.S. Eliot –   Where’s the link between tea and great literature? Glad you asked. A little while back the New Yorker examined those links… Continue reading

  • A Bathtub Full of Tea

    Is there such a thing as too much tea? Perhaps there is but there probably aren’t too many tea lovers who would agree with this notion. The next time you’re looking to drink tea in mass quantities and are looking for someone to help out you might want to give Olly Murs a call. The… Continue reading

  • The Tea Gadget Report

    How wild and/or zany and/or outlandish and/or just plain silly can tea gadgets get? The possibilities are probably only limited by the imagination and some of the people who are turning out this stuff are pretty imaginative – and then some. First, the novelty tea infuser category, which seems to always be a popular category… Continue reading

  • Grow Your Own Tea

    As the second most popular beverage in the world (or so it is said) it stands to reason that tea is grown in massive quantities. There are a number of tea-producing nations and regions all around the world but the most significant of these, at least in terms of the quantities produced, are India, China… Continue reading
