What’s new with everyone? We’re happy @xavier is back from his vacation. Thanks for the postcard! Enjoying our summer here, just relaxing. Less relaxing is waiting for the arrival of new teas today and tomorrow. Come soon and save us from mediocre leaves!

I confess, I had several teabags today. Judge me as you may but the good stuff is coming early next week.

I’m a big fan of their razor vid, but the – err – digestive waste products one is less to my liking. A little too crass. Did they really have to show us that sort of sand sculpture thingy with the bits and pieces? […]
Jackie started the topic Oh no! What's happening to Builder's Tea? in the forum Tea News and Information 11 years, 4 months ago

Remember Builder’s Tea? You do if you live in the UK. You probably do if you’re in the “tea drinking scene” over here. It’s that milky, sugary tea drink that no British construction worker can build a thing without. Except that “no” construction worker no longer holds true. Around 44% of builders are now turning to coffee and their frothy lattes…[Read more]

Love Nepalese teas. The internet situation must have been a real pain. Let’s hope it continues to work, at least at the level of “well-ish-ness”
What or who are the J-folk?.

“The Infusiast” – the first review I’ve seen of @thedevotea‘s wonderful new book. Thanks for getting the ball rolling @teaformeplease

Just ordered tea from Adagio and tea from Rachel the other day too. Looking forward to some good morning-dessert tea. Because that’s when I like my tea a little sweet. In the mornings. Without added sugar though.

I dunno. I like the Castleton in the title too.

@lazyliteratus As always I’m humbled by your genius tea brain. Go “write” ahead. Just sounds awesome to me!

  Well, thankee. Came to me…er…just today. Don’t have details solidified yet. Just a notion.

@riccaicedo – Thanks for sharing the article. I only actually knew one of the ones that were talked about. So while they’re making lots of “impressions” they hadn’t impressed me (yet.)
@jopj posted an interesting article on this subject on G+. Worth a read, money we can only dream of.

Oops, sorry wasn’t Rachel, it was @verity
Jackie posted an update 11 years, 4 months ago

A science/tea article that @iheartteas mentioned on twitter. Something that @bram might enjoy reading. And @xavier perhaps but he’s probably lapping up the sun on some tropical island at the moment.

Jackie replied to the topic Do teabags ruin the environment? in the forum Tea News and Information 11 years, 4 months ago

@riccaicedo Strangely enough the article seems to say that bagged tea isn’t all that bad after all. Me, I just don’t like their taste.
Jackie replied to the topic Tea in Bratislava in the forum Tea Conversations 11 years, 4 months ago

I’ve heard of it but have never been there. It looks quite picturesque in the images I saw. Wonder what their tea culture is. Heavy black teas? Looking forward to your pics.

For those truly dedicated to the cup. Sleep in your tea at night.

Good morning all. Early start today! Thank the tea gods for this cup of Ceylon tea to wake me up a little bit. Hope you’re all well.

We wish you lots of success with your new store. While we’re sad to see you go, we’re happy you remain a Tea Trade blogger. As such, we’re glad we still get to see you in our activity stream. You’re much valued as […]

Had enough fun in the sun? Why not spend some time making this little acorn fairy tea set. For all the little rescued tea fairies @thedevotea is advocating for. Only thing is, I don’t think we have an abundance of acorns right now. Still, it’s cute.

  Great set.
Jackie started the topic Do teabags ruin the environment? in the forum Tea News and Information 11 years, 4 months ago

Interesting article about the environmental impact of teabags, tea waste, tea gardens, overflowing kettles, and over-scooping your tea.
Worth a read. I found the forest clearing thought provoking, although I can’t see that being an issue in every tea growing country. One point I find hard to believe: That “a traditional square tea bag, on the…[Read more]

@riccaicedo the UK
Every time you buy bagged tea a loose leaf tea fairy dies? That sounds terribly, horribly tragic.
It’s true we must not forget that every bagged tea was once loose, if only for a short time. […]
