Book: Tea and Tea Dealings
Unsurprisingly, I picked this book out at the library for its blending section. I like reading first-hand, antiqued accounts of what goes into blends, and Continue reading -

Book: Tea Life, Tea Mind
Having had this book sitting on my shelf for quite a while now, I kept passing it over for newer, more exciting acquisitions. I finally pulled it out to Continue reading -

Book: Tasting Qualities
This book has been on my list for a while, especially as Besky has another work out (“The Darjeeling Distinction”); but it wasn’t something I was going out of Continue reading -

I’ll usually swing back around to this blog with a pretty dire opinion of my activity, but if I can manage four posts a year (in both 2021 and 2020!), then I’m pretty happy with myself. (Even if I did read months […]

This is part of a series of “Philosophy Of” books. I had trouble finding much on the ‘series’, but it looks like each (or most) was written by a different blogger or other influencer/social media presence. I […]

I thought this was a handsome little book, and was immediately drawn to it in Chapters when it released. Flipping through it, I thought the illustrations were unique, I thought the Table of Contents was very […]

This is an oldy but a goody, first published in 2003, and an easy, affordable buy at most bookstores back in the day (I think I paid $5 for this off of the clearance pile at Chapter’s).
Moxham has written a few […]

I look forward to new releases, even if the sad reality is I only manage to read a couple of Tea Books a year–and usually half a decade after they’ve been published. But that doesn’t mean I can’t share what I’m […]

This is a heavy book that I have had my eye on for a while. Most new books I’ll wait for in the library, depending on the price. This one was constantly on hold before the quarantine, and finally cleared up when I […]

This one was already on my to buy list. Now I really have to buy and read it.

Yes. Only on Yixing teapots. But some on their export and influences on Europe and Japan.

I love this book. It’s presented in an oversized coffee table-style layout, with plates of colour and grey-scale photos from museums. But it also contains a textbook level of information, going into detail about […]

It focuses only on Chinese teapots, doesn’t it?
Nothing on Japanese or European?-
Yes. Only on Yixing teapots. But some on their export and influences on Europe and Japan.

Tea in Quarantine
In 1939 the British government expected airstrikes from Germany. So they devised a slogan to keep up civilian moral: Keep Calm and Carry On. There were Continue reading-
An old tea blender? How does it work?

Hhhuh. Teatra.de’s posting a bit odd and out of order.

What is odd?

Unfortunately, I couldn’t compare them face to face as I checked them out from different libraries… I did go over my notes, photos and memories of Tea Growing, though. I’ll have to go out and check both of them out some time to give a proper review.
Maybe I’ll wait until I come across a few more books on the subject.

The best thing about this entire self-quarantine is that all checkout times from the library have been greatly extended and I rarely leave my apartment anyways, so I’m hoarding these books.
So the Festival […]

I picked this up from the public library. Unfortunately the last person to have it decided to write in it with a black felt pen of all things. And I know it was recent because in the margins where they decided to […]
