“Modern Merchants on the Ancient Tea Road” – I’ve posted a couple of articles on this amazing road in the past, here’s another interesting post:

Hey everybody – taking a look around, love how Tea Trade is such a great, interesting and lively place to be. If you have friends who might be interested, let them know you’re on Tea Trade and how they could be too. The more the merrier!
Cheers,

Checked in – everyone seems to be doing well. Hope everyone who stops by the activity stream, scrolls down to see what they’ve missed 😛
Must sip more tea,

Baked an apple cake with a cream & berry filling (all the fruits work well together.) Brewed up a Goomtee Darjeeling to pair with it. Birthdays are another excellent reason to eat cake.

I’ve never seen a tea blending vid like this one. Have you? It’s pretty interesting to see how they do it. Thanks @sororiteasister for writing a fine review about one of their teas. They’re a company which up until then I’d never heard of. – http://svtea.com

Finally time to relax and read. Found a really wonderful tea blog, that I’d never seen before. Yes, I will share details but not just now. Finding new writers is alway exciting, especially when they are hidden gems.
Other than that, I know I still have catching up to do on our own Tea Trade blogs. You’re all so productive 🙂
I’ll be updating more…[Read more]

Can’t stay right now but wanted you to know that I enjoyed catching up with both @yaya ‘s latest blog post and @thedevotea ‘s. Also, welcome to @teaheaven, a new member. I’ll be back later, so get in touch if there’s anything you need.

I’m going to have to look into this museum a bit more – don’t recall hearing much about it. Maybe I’ll add it to the forum once I’ve got more info on it.
