You Know You’re a Spoiled “Tea Princess” When…
A recent experience in a fairly high-end restaurant made me realize that I’m a spoiled “Tea Princess.” (Not being sexist here. I acknowledge that men can be just as spoiled when it comes to enjoying fine teas versus what passes for tea at a lot of eateries in the U.S.) So, how did I come… Continue reading

Online Tea Gadgets & Games
Never let it be said that the Internet was brought into existence so that human beings might while away the days of their lives in frivolous pursuits. But it’s true, at least to some extent. If killing time is what you’ve got in mind, of course, the Internet is a great place to achieve your… Continue reading

Tea Moments — Iced Tea and the Bug Zapper
Warm, muggy Summer nights and a tall glass of chilled (iced) tea enjoyed on the front porch or the deck/patio out back make for some interesting tea moments. The reason: bugs. Now, I’m not one of these people that sees a bug, alive or dead, and goes “Eewwww!” in total disgust and revulsion. That’s mainly… Continue reading

Summer Solstice Tea
The time is near for Summer Solstice and a special glass of chilled tea. Something full of sunshine would fit the bill nicely. Just as the Winter Solstice marks when the Northern hemisphere of our planet has the fewest hours of daylight and longest night, Summer Solstice marks its longest day and shortest night (reverse… Continue reading

Tea Moments — Watching an Airplane Fly By
The sound of an airplane (the kind with a propeller or two) flying overhead signals a tea moment for me. Mainly, it evokes memories of childhood Summers. Hot, hazy days when all I could manage to do was sit under a shady tree, reading a book or making up dramas to be enacted by “Ken”… Continue reading

Enjoying a Winter Tea in Summer
There are teas that are perfect for Winter and teas that are perfect for Summer. And never the twain shall meet. Oh, yeah? Daring to be different has always been one of my hallmarks. Those who know me well can attest to this. When others zigged, I zagged. When others cheered, I booed. When others… Continue reading

Tantalize Your Taste Buds With Tepid Tea
At this time of year (June) in the Arizona desert nobody thinks about it much when the temperature exceeds 100 degrees. It’s no more out of the ordinary than a white Christmas in the Yukon. But it’s also not the sort of weather that finds you craving a cup of hot tea. What’s interesting, though,… Continue reading

A Brief History of Tea
Coffee gets more than its fair share of press nowadays, but it’s important to remember that, according to some experts, tea is actually the second most popular beverage in the world, after water. The precise origins of tea drinking are unknown, but the ancient Chinese were probably the first to steep leaves from the Camellia… Continue reading

Tea Moment — Bird Bath Brouhaha
Tea and bird watching are natural go-togethers. Some birds stay here year round, so the fun never ends. However, now that Spring is here, the “deserters” (who traveled southward when the weather turned cold) have returned and made our backyard quite a lively sight, birdwise. First, a tea moment treat. One of my favorites is… Continue reading
