I know it’s not tea but this “Terraced Rice Field” Photo is amazing!

Getting a little confused by all the choices out there while I browse around for Yunnan tea. Each time I think “yes, those are my choices” I find another tea I also want.

Oh! I’m sure @thedevotea will have something to say about this too!

Weird news – I thought the whole panda powered tea thing wasn’t serious. Well, to some it is!

This is part 1 of a very interesting article by @latteteadah seeking to demystify the Japanese Tea Ceremony. The ceremonial instructions she describes here belong to the Urasenke school of Chado. Didn’t know there were differences? Head on over to her post…

Simple brewing instructions are a good idea I think. I brew black tea from between 2.5 – 4 mins, full boil. Generally, I don’t like re-steeping black teas though. I don’t find they improve, they just weaken.

So pretty! I’m not a Matcha fan but I love the shape and look of these shortbread cookies. Must create something like this myself.

Glad you liked them. They do look tempting. Did they come out as expected? I posted a recipe for tea bread earlier this morning too, it looks good but not quite as cute!

This is just so incredibly cute – and I’m endorsing it just as “me”, Jackie.

Another interesting post & another tea to try! I haven’t been a huge fan of Kenyan teas in the past since I’ve only had them CTC’d into my cup. Would be nice to try something a little different.

Here’s a pic of Tole tea plantation in Cameroon – I’m now reading up more about tea from that country.

Tea from Cameroon! Another new tea for @lazyliteratus to try. Well not just for him. But according to @xavier he is the final frontier man. Either way, it looks like 85% Cameroon’s tea is distributed on the local market, so you’re not likely to find any nearby.

Pete & I had a wonderful day out and about – the company was perfect, the weather nice, the trip interesting. Love days like these.

Yes, we went to an old Army fort (Fort Monroe) that the Army has finally abandoned after about 200 years. They moved out a couple weeks ago and left a lot history behind. It was good to see it before all the development takes hold — however, the president has recently declared it national monument and parts of it are to be turned over to the…[Read more]

Blimey. What kind of book are you writing @thedevotea? Retro transvestites being caned? For tea bagging?’

@cazort aka Alex, people might be kinder on your blog, but on twitter, you see people getting worked up over things like that all the time. The “your/you’re” mistake is so common, but I don’t get why it […]

I had some surprisingly good BOP Ceylon tea from Upton, it was incredibly drinkable! In fact I drank it up so fast, there’s already no more. Upton is one of my favorite companies for customer service and sheer […]

We sat outside for lunch in the sunshine, and then we walked over to the ice cream shop, not a bad way to spend a Monday. Time now for work, tea and a little bit of chocolate.
