What’s Interfering with Your Tea Enjoyment?
We tea drinkers have lots of challenges, things that interfere with the enjoyment of our tea.

The Joy of Selfishness and Tea
To many folks out there, the very word “selfishness” raises their blood pressure a few levels, since the term has been vilified for centuries. Before you start thinking that I am proposing some totally hedonistic and/or bacchanalian tea time bingeing, hold on. I’m just saying that selfishness can be a key ingredient in the enjoyment… Continue reading

Travels with Tea: Tea at “Home” in Bucuresti
One of the benefits of my travels to Romania is our lovely apartment, which is located in a commercial area with easy access to transportation and is just a short walk from downtown.

Is That Bottled Stuff Really Tea?
Bottled tea? Really? Excuse me while this Tea Princess chuckles. *Hee hee hee hee hee* Ah, there, got that out of my system. Now, seriously, can you get real tea in a bottle? Or can?
