Tea for Three
A little while ago I wrote on article on tea for two, and since then I have ended up hosting tea for three people a few times. Tea for two is a fairly straightforward undertaking, but somehow I find tea for three can become unduly complicated. Maybe it’s that it’s harder for three people to… Continue reading

Classic Tea Party Books
The phrase “tea party” has a number of meanings nowadays. It might refer to an actual tea party, complete with actual tea and those cute little crustless sandwiches. Or it might refer to a political movement of recent vintage. Or it could refer to a number of political uprisings that took place during our colonial… Continue reading

The Other Tea Parties
Recent political movements aside, there’s no question that the mother of all tea parties was the one that took place in Boston a few centuries ago. That was on December 16, 1773, to be precise. As noted in this article a little while back, it’s an event that recently gained its own spiffy new tourist… Continue reading

Getting Ghoulish for Your Halloween Tea Time
As this globe we live on repeats another orbit round the Sun, we come again to Halloween and, of course, that means some spooky, eerie, and downright scary tea times! Cats always figure pretty big at Halloween, but as Janis Badarau also points out, they are always part of tea time. So, cats and Halloween… Continue reading

Tea Kettle Philosophy — Time Zones
There are 387 time zones on this planet and at least 242 countries, according to one source. And in every one of those time zones people are enjoying tea at some point in their day — which, of course, got me to thinking while waiting for the kettle to boil. Time zones are amazing things.… Continue reading

Tea Moments — Putting Down the Duster

It’s everywhere — in commercials on TV and radio, in billboards, as a topic of conversation at a party… Continue reading

Easter Tea!
The spring equinox has come and gone, while we our still waiting for our last frost date to get serious about the garden. The crocuses and daffodils are out in force, and the tourists are flocking to D.C. to see the cherry blossoms. We’ve even had a few beautiful days, although today definitely feels like… Continue reading

Easter Teatime Hop-Along
Drinking tea and hopping would not, at first glance, seem like two activities that could be engaged in simultaneously. Well, actually, even at second, third, fourth, or fifth glance. Okay, so it’s not a good idea, unless you like to wear more tea than you drink. Fortunately, that’s not what an Easter Teatime Hop-Along is.… Continue reading

Luck of the Irish
This Wednesday is St. Patrick’s Day, that green-tinted day upon which all Americans have a bit of Irish blood in them no matter which continent their ancestors hailed from. Green beer will be poured out in copious quantities between now and then, but I propose a more civilized way to celebrate the occasion. A shamrock… Continue reading

Tea and Gluten-Free Muffins
I decided mid-morning to give lessons in enjoying teatime to my three-year-old grandson. I had found no advice to aid me in this endeavor—I did actually look around on the web. But all of the tea blogs I read spoke of the glories of adults sharing tea, or the quiet contemplative moments over tea, or… Continue reading
