Time to catch up with the latest posts today from @lazyliteratus and @jopj – I glanced over them, saw they were excellent as usual and thought I’d save them for some tea blog reading tonight. The time has come!

Just saw this link to an article in Tea magazine featuring @jopj‘s awesome kids’ book! It’s both interesting and very cute. I recommend for any of you who’d like to introduce children to the history of tea.
