Tea is said to help your mood, to stimulate, and to calm. It is supposed to enhance the mood you’re in or help you turn that mood 180 degrees around — from depressed or very sad to happy and in a positive frame of mind. But that’s not what a “tea mood” is. Your tea… Continue reading

Matcha vs Dust-in-a-Teabag
Someone asked the other day why dust in a bag is considered bad but powdered matcha is considered good, even premium.

Tea and Confessions of a Very Amateur Bird Watcher
People sometimes ask me what I like best about living in the Southlands. Although there are many things that I enjoy about our adopted home, my answer is always the same: the wild birds.
