Hi everyone. We’re going to have a super busy full house soon, I just love it. Family and friends make me very happy.

Good to have you back again, welcome back! Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures when you’ve settled in and unpacked. (And found the teaware is still in good shape)

“I was a little worried when she mentioned that it was made of the Jun Shan Yinzhen type.”

I wouldn’t exactly call myself a complete layman but I have no idea what you mean. Why the fear? Why is Yinzhen […]

Busy, busy, busy but tea is always by my side. To go whenever I’m out and about.
Jackie commented on the post, Picking American Tea with Canadians, on the site Steep Stories 11 years, 3 months ago

Really enjoyed your pics and your report. But I’m a bit confused about the bucket picking comparison pic. Yours on the left looks like standard tea leaves just picked. The ones on the right look different. Perhaps […]

All that tea lost, and they still took away his electrical equipment. Plus now he’s sitting in jail. Or is he not? I couldn’t make that out. I suppose they probably won’t offer him any cuppas there.
Jackie commented on the post, Sifting The Night Away, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 11 years, 3 months ago

The only thing missing here is a link to your post that mentions this ghastly proposal. Glad the ruling was overturned.
Stale old teabags are cheaper than window cleaner, so I don’t know…perhaps I should give […]
Jackie replied to the topic Oolong from New Zealand in the forum Tea News and Information 11 years, 3 months ago

That must be Zealong. You know @xavier – it’s been around for a few years now. That nice German guy, Jo from New Zealand sold a small batch of black New Zealand a couple of years or so ago. Here’s Zealong’s main website. The trouble about that tea was, that it’s always been pretty expensive. Interesting that MF is now buying their tea and selling…[Read more]

Just finished a large mug of tea before doing some gym work. Doesn’t sound like fun yet, I feel pretty sleepy!
Jackie commented on the post, Playing Catch Up, on the site scandalous tea 11 years, 3 months ago

Mighty fine poem about some mighty fine events. As always you’ve thought of a creative way to entertain us. Love all the pictures. So glad you caught up. Am looking forward to fall when I’m sure there’ll be lots […]
Jackie started the topic Tazo tea store in Seattle closing! in the forum Tea News and Information 11 years, 4 months ago

It didn’t last long. The Tazo tea store in Seattle. However, can’t say I’m surprised since I don’t think that the Tazo store can co-exist alongside Teavana tea stores. I think Starbucks had to go for one brand, or the other and they are choosing Teavana. Wonder if Tazo teas will eventually disappear altogether. Read this interesting article by Melody.

Did you come up with any ideas? I feel more posts will probably start rolling in when summer’s over.

  I have and I had before thinking about it.

What are they replacing it with?
Jackie posted an update 11 years, 4 months ago

Just wrote a comment on @cazort‘s last Trader Joe’s blog post and lost it because I forgot I wasn’t logged in! Ugh. Serves me right for not being logged in day and night.

@bram Have you been to Vienna or Bratislava yet?
Jackie posted an update 11 years, 4 months ago

Awesome pic of yours @lazyliteratus! [- There he is, one of our finest blogger chaps picking away at the tea…]

  It seems to me that @lazyliteratus is in the right place.

    A very good time in very good company.
Jackie replied to the topic Price-takers or price-fixers? in the forum Tea News and Information 11 years, 4 months ago

I like the idea of small growers getting a chance to become price fixers, not just price takers. It’s an interesting initiative. Thanks @xavier.
Jackie posted an update 11 years, 4 months ago

Things have been busy here, once the summer is over I’m sure things will get back to normal. Don’t know if @thedevotea realizes that summer break’s in full swing here, and you can tell!
- Robert Godden replied 11 years, 4 months ago
  
  I don’t know what a break is. I have vaguely heard of them.
  - Xavier replied 11 years, 4 months ago
    
    A break? This is when everything is broken, no? But everything seems to be working…
    …
    …
    Just kidding.
Jackie started the topic Bloggers: How do you keep your content fresh? in the forum 11 years, 4 months ago

I’m just wondering, how do you manage to keep your blog posts fresh and meaningful? Do you ever feel you run out of topics, or things to say? Do you re-visit some favorite (or successful) topics, when you’re not sure what to write about next? Do you ever re-post?
Fortunately, or unfortunately I don’t have that problem as I don’t post nearly often…[Read more]
