Nothing Beats that “Golden Pour” of Tea
By A.C. Cargill Tea drinkers like gold, the rich color telling of rich taste. I’m talking about their tea “liquor” (the liquid resulting from the water pulling out the flavorful essence from the tea leaves) — from the pale yellow of Green Spring Snail (Bi Luo Chun) to the dark amber of Yunnan Red Gongfu.… Continue reading

Tea Moments — Enjoying the Christmas Sparkle
Teatime during the Christmas season is always full of cheer.

A Cup of Memories
by Stephanie Hanson For some people, tea was a discovery of adulthood. For others, tea goes back to earliest memory. I belong to the latter tea party.

Tea Moments — Being Thankful
By A.C. Cargill The abundance of teas and foods available online and in the brick-and-mortar stores makes me thankful. Especially since I have seen first-hand places where that was not the case. A little over a decade ago, I visited Prague, Czechoslovakia, which had only a year or two earlier broken away from the Soviet… Continue reading

Tea Moments — Long Shadows at Teatime
By A.C. Cargill It’s early Autumn, but the afternoon has the chill of Winter, making this a great time for tea. The snaky shadows of tree limbs, stripped of most of their leaves, are spreading across the wooden boards of our back deck.
