lazyliteratus wrote a new post, Alternate Tea Etiquette, on the site Steep Stories 1 day, 8 hours 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 […]

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 […]

#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.

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 […]

It seems hard to believe that this is my sixth year at Expo, which would have been seventh had I not stayed behind after the birth of my son, no […]

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.

Xavier wrote a new post, Don't feed the trolls, on the site Teaconomics 1 month, 3 weeks ago
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 […]

And how do you plan on doing it?

It’s not too late. Buy your tickets, pack your bags, and head to “Hot” Vegas June 11-13th.
Along with all the speakers and presentations you will have the opportunity to see and taste first hand many of the fi […]

I hope you will have a lot of people coming to watch so many talented bloggers.

Xavier wrote a new post, Back to the future, on the site Teaconomics 2 months, 3 weeks ago
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 […]

Working at Murchie’s has been fun both on a tea-blending side, but also in that it allows me to scratch my Tea History itch.
For those not well-acquainted with Murchie’s, it’s been around a good decade and i […]

A big black blending book? Now this is really interesting but perhaps I saw too many Indiana Jones.

Oh no, it’s just as cool and interesting as it sounds. It’s a huge, OLD ledger with so much history. They could pay me just to sit and flip through it.

Same boat. I’ve had the problem for well over a year now. There was an attempt to see if they were related to my other account problems (being unable to edit my profile or change my Display Name, and my bio no longer inserting on my blog), but no luck. Just sort of… stuck in limbo.
It’s been a bit of a drag for posting, since reformatting from…[Read more]

I don’t consider it spring until I’ve had a first flush Darjeeling in my mouth. This year, though, it took me a little longer to get to my “stash” of first flush Darjeelings. Most years, the family Lochan sends m […]

Oh! The times they are changing?
I should get my hands on a first flush to check these changes for myself.
Thanks for the tip.

Several months ago, I had a conversation with a fellow tea nerd about the origin of the tea tree. Y’know, small talk. During the dialogue, he uttered the following assertion that made my imagination boil over l […]

Some foods for the thought and a great job.
After reading your post, I almost wanted to read once more some works by Umberto Ecco.

No.
I never write directly here. I first write my post on LibreOffice in order to have a backup file. -

Lately I have been creating drafts for blog posts and then having them disappear.
I don’t know why, but it’s super annoying.
The pictures uploaded for the drafts are still in my media collection.
Anyone else had the same thing? I’ve put hours into the same posts twice now and it’s just not there. - Load More
