Wow, that would make me think twice about going to a tea ceremony in Shanghai. I’d probably decline now. Not being able to speak or read the language would make fighting this scam extremely hard. Thanks for sharing @riccaicedo. I read both articles, just had the Spanish one translated.

  Thanks for the tip. If I go to Shanghai, I will ask a trusted local to help me.

@Riccaicedo – I forgot all about this thread…

One of the bloggers around here that sets a great standard for great blogging is Sororiteasisters.com. It is run by @liberteas, but what makes it great her blogging habits. After years of blogging, she still does right and according to our statistics, it gets more visits that any part of Tea Trade.…[Read more]

Jackie started the topic Would you eat your tea leaves? in the forum Tea Conversations 11 years, 4 months ago

@riccaicedo wrote an interesting little post just recently about eating his spent tea leaves. It made me wonder. Would you eat tea leaves? Do you eat tea leaves? I know @iheartteas does, but what about the rest of you? I do add brewed tea but not tea leaves to food. One concern I have, is that tea leaves that are not certified organic might…[Read more]
Jackie replied to the topic Can you make money as a blogger? in the forum Tea Conversations 11 years, 5 months ago

@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.
Jackie replied to the topic Do teabags ruin the environment? in the forum Tea News and Information 11 years, 5 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.

@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. […]

@riccaicedo Great! Thanks for linking. Are you able to move that fb/twitter/g+ widget from the text body of your blog? It gets in the way of your nice post.

  Thanks for pointing that up, @jackie I didn’t know it happened, looks fine on my screen : )
  I’ll try fixing that now.

@riccaicedo – Nice post. I commented but not sure what happened after that. Does it go into moderation?

Just read the article, it’s a lovely read. Beautifully written, it teaches you a thing or 2 or 3 about East Frisian tea. Read it @thedevotea @iheartteas @jopj @riccaicedo @lazyliteratus @amyoh and everyone else […]

@riccaicedo – That’s interesting but I didn’t actually mean the comments, I meant the visitors to your site. How do you filter bots/spam visits from your analytics?
Jackie replied to the topic Support for bloggers in the forum Support and Feedback 11 years, 10 months ago

How do you know who’s “real” and who’s a bot @riccaicedo? Or a spammer? Do you filter them out? Just curious.
Jackie replied to the topic From JSOnline "Teavana's dirty secret…" Thoughts? in the forum Tea Conversations 11 years, 10 months ago

I don’t know @riccaicedo – I think they use more tea in-store to intensify the flavor. Since they are not recommending more tea in their brewing guidelines, I can’t see how this would encourage people to use more […]

Here’s @riccaicedo‘s post on busting caffeine myths. It’s an interesting topic we’ve discussed quite a bit on TT, in the forums. Here’s the link link to Ricardo’s post. Below is an amusing little vid @thedevotea once posted.

  Thanks for the video, it was funny.
  Is there a search function for the forums, by the way?
