Tea for Two
There has always been a romantic side to tea for me. It may just be because I read far too much 17th and 18th century literature in which it seems that a British courtship without tea would have been unthinkable.

But did you… Continue reading

Tea Experiment — “Mocha” Pu-erh
Trying some Young Pu-erh awhile back and then looking into various chocolate teas gave me an idea: chocolate pu-erh.

There is a chocolate pu-erh or two on… Continue reading

Tea and Jam, Plain and Simple
It all began innocently. One day I was making my usual favorite afternoon tea—Darjeeling, with toast and jam. Not exotic; I like things plain and simple.
