I think it’s high time I talk about the Castleton estate.
Again.
I say “again” because, if you’re no stranger to this blog, you’ll know that it is one of my favorite gardens from one of my favorite […]

You are a man of habit but only the best ones and a Tea-Rex 😀

Xavier wrote a new post, One never knows how loyalty is born, on the site Teaconomics 3 weeks, 2 days ago
Why is Earl Grey/Green Tea/… popular and proposed/drank in most places? How do trends begin? Good questions indeed. When I was asked about it, I began doing some research and I found some information on how t […]

lazyliteratus wrote a new post, A Focus on Fellowship, on the site Steep Stories 1 month ago
A week ago, an article made the rounds in the greater tea community sphere. At the time it came out, it rubbed me the wrong way. So much so, I originally meant to pen a rant pointing out where it went wrong, and […]

Tea is about sharing and the fellowship.
Drinking tea alone isn’t fun.

lazyliteratus wrote a new post, My Birthday at a Tea Festival, on the site Steep Stories 1 month, 1 week ago
Over a week ago, I attended Northwest Tea Festival. Again.
It also happened to fall on my birthday.
I decided at the end of summer that the best way to ring in my 43rd year on Earth was to make a […]

I really liked the meme before and after. However last time I attended one, I don’t remember in such a state.

Perhaps, this is the proof that I might have been infected.

lazyliteratus wrote a new post, There Once Were Two Teas from Huiming, on the site Steep Stories 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Sometimes, in my search for new teas to try, I get drawn in by mentions of particular producers.
This is Wei Zhong He. I first learned of him through my dealings with Kevin Gascoyne (Camellia Sinensis Tea […]

You are the Enterprise of tea, finding combos that no one (from my point of view) ever found and managing to present them while managing to make me want to give them a try.

lazyliteratus wrote a new post, The Tea Balls of Manipur, on the site Steep Stories 2 months ago
Earlier this year, a fellow tea blogger sent me information on an Indian tea growing region I’d never heard of.
A place filled with old(er) growth, semi-wild assamica forests, which bordered Assam to the E […]

You answered my question before you knew it, regarding how much tea you should use it.
It is strange that a white tea produced such a dark liquor.

lazyliteratus wrote a new post, Sheng Puerh-Style Teas from Vietnam, on the site Steep Stories 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Over a year-and-a-half ago, I wrote an article discussing the nature of sheng cha.
It didn’t go over well.
I used a Vietnamese sheng puerh-style tea from Son La province as a part of my thesis, and it a […]

Such names. Too bad there were two genies. I would have imagined something like Ice Genie.

lazyliteratus wrote a new post, Alternate Tea Etiquette, on the site Steep Stories 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Five days ago, a vendor friend posted this article on Facebook:
I didn’t read it, which is usually what not to do, but I’ve seen such tea topical articles before. The direction they were going in was n […]

The first of the tea club is that there are no rules (unless you ask @TheDevotea :P).

lazyliteratus wrote a new post, The Flow of Tea and Time, on the site Steep Stories 3 months ago
I should probably get around to talking about World Tea Expo 2019, huh?
To be truthful, my delay in doing so wasn’t related to my usual brand of procrastination, but rather some trauma. Stuff I’ve had dif […]

Thanks for the backwards report, I enjoyed reading it.
And don’t forget home, sweet tea home! I am sure you will enjoy being Darjeeling, Ceylon… really soon.

#NYCTeaTour: Day One
First of all, I can’t believe I finally made it to New York with all my tea friends I made through our passion of tea. Some of us met way back on Steepster others later on Instagram but on […]

An all-women tea tour in New-York? Sounds and looks really great.

Robert Godden wrote a new post, Every Day – Part 1, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 3 months, 2 weeks ago
At my “peak”, for want of a better word, I posted over 100 blog posts in one year. But lately that has tapered off a little.
I say ‘a little’, but this is my fourth post for 2019.
I know it’s been hard for […]

Totally adding “Overpopulated Scrotum” to my lexicon. And, quite frankly, if you had named the tea that oh, I can think of several people in the US that would have bought it just for name alone.

I would never have guessed it (and I tried to do so but only in my mind after reading your Facebook post).
And even if you didn’t mention me, I was drinking tea after tea wondering if you had stopped writing (okay, I would have drunk tea after tea even without that but it sounds better when I say it that way, doesn’t it?).

As some of you have seen—via my social media—in June, I was at World Tea Expo.
For those who don’t follow me on those platforms . . . I don’t blame you. But that’s beside the point. In the middle of June, […]

Did you know that Al Capone drank whisky in a cup of tea? It might be a hoax but I heard it on a rather serious radio and I found it cool enough to mention it here. A more “serious” reason than the “cool” factor […]

mocktails? What is this?
I like this report on two new trends : more hype bars with cocktails and people focusing more on origin and tastes.
Thanks for this report.

Don’t feed the trolls is a known motto of the Internet but sometimes I have to feed my inner troll. First because they don’t always look like those of the Hobbit and two because mine is a travelling one that is […]

Well, it’s spring again, and with it comes warmer weather. That’s how it is in the Pacific Northwest. I’m . . . not a fan. The reason? With warmer weather comes seasonal chronic migraines; a fun little diagn […]

Dear Tea Diary,

I think we should take a break. Or maybe break up? I just don’t think we are in the same place right now. I have loved you for as long as I can remember but now it just feels like we a […]

As you might have noticed (for example here or here) I have an interest in prices of our nice little drink: tea.
I usually focus on old prices (sometimes among centuries) and I might still do that soon but […]

It seems quite a diversified approach to business and insights on tea, not only selling teas. Really interesting to hear from it.
