Camping with Tea
It was a last minute decision for hubbie and I to revisit the World Heritage site that is Fraser island, so with tent, camping stove, food and tea in tow, we headed to one of the largest sand islands in the world.

These Are a Few of My Favorite Iced Teas
Summer is almost here, which for most of us is the cue to break out the pitchers and tall glasses. Here in the United States, where we supposedly drink about 80 percent of our tea iced instead of hot, those pitchers are an integral part of warm weather living, and they’re sure to get a… Continue reading

“Ghostly” Tea Taste and Aroma
Not too long ago, I mentioned online that when I drink some teas, the aroma and/or taste stay with me for a day or two.

Rapping About Tea

Tea in Minneapolis: Part II
Tea in Minneapolis: Part I focused on a great place to stop for tea in Uptown Minneapolis, but unfortunately The Tea Garden/Steepery Tea Bar does not have a location in downtown Minneapolis. Luckily for us, downtown is not bereft of tea, and if in need of a cuppa, you can make your way over to The… Continue reading
