According to my Oxford English Dictionary: ebullience – noun – enthusiasm, exuberance, a boiling up as of liquid (figurative) Since boiling — water,… Continue reading

Tea and the Badly Written Book
Every now and then I get offered the opportunity to read a new book and write a review. Usually, like many of you, I consider reading time also to be tea time. Sadly, there are times when the tea is the only good thing about the experience. Thus was the case with the latest book… Continue reading

Experiencing Tea in New York City
As anyone who has been to New York City knows, it can be overwhelming, but there is no shortage of good food and drink.
