Oh, I know. It was just an interesting thought experiment. We settled on “fermentation” as a term for a wholly Chinese process. Language is fluid; science ain’t … until it is.

I can get behind that.

Arbitrarily correct? Yes.
Microbiologically? Eh … there’s cause for debate.

Definitely a sufferer of Expansive Greater Théabulia. No known treatment. I’ll sometimes take ten or so minutes selecting my morning cuppa. But I’ve come up with a method.
I have a small table littered with […]

In May of 2017, I asked tea peers on social media a simple question: Is Vietnamese sheng puerh style heicha a thing?
At least . . . I thought it was a simple question.
That query sparked a minor debate about […]

For those that have tuned in to my li’l corner of “the In-Tea-Net”, folks can tell I have an affinity for talking about where the tea comes from. I have focused a lot of text-space to estates, gardens, facto […]

This is seriously great work, as always, Xavier. I’m quite surprised Australia doesn’t have a “tea flag” on it, though.
In a follow-up to your Papua New Guinea dialogue, here’s a tea/coffee garden I know about.

If I were to sum up 2017 in one image, it would be . . .
Yeah, that about says it.
The year wasn’t quite the dumpster fire that 2016 was, but it did have its ups and downs. Winter flew by like a brisk, c […]

Christmas is usually my favorite time of year. But this year . . . I simply wasn’t feeling it. And it wasn’t for lack of trying.
A week or so before the impending, I found a green bow on the floor of the […]

Agreed.

I’ve covered Assam before, and the many tea gardens that lie within the Indian state. To date, though, I don’t think I’ve focused on tea factories in the region. So, this post will be something a little bit diffe […]

In the fall of 2015, I found myself reading a tea blog (instead of writing one). Fellow tea geek Amanda Freeman used to keep one of the more prolific tea blogs in the community, and—at times—I suffered from a bit […]

Hiya.
So, I decided to try something new. I have quite a few new teas to get through that don’t particularly fall within the parameters of my regular blog. That being, they don’t have much of a story to tell. […]

In the hierarchy of tea businesses, monthly tea subscription services are like man-buns.
Unless you have a really good reason for starting one—or your name is Toshiro Mifune—it is usually best not to. Sin […]

This may come as a surprise (to no one), but I’m a bit of a lurker in the tea community.
Various social media groups exist celebrating our beloved beverage and the many facets therein. On Facebook alone, I […]

In the Spring of 2017, I met this eccentric chap.
Steve Odell of Rabbit’s Moon Tea Arts, and the purveyor of Portland’s one and only hotspot for tea nightlife—The Speakteasy Underground. I wrote about […]

A couple of days ago, a fellow tea acquaintance asked me for some advice on puerh. Naturally, I provided it, based upon my own subjective experience. But I also had to preface something. I was not the most . . . […]
