Vancouver Tea Festival 2017
Last year we had a pretty chilly winter, and it’s starting to look like this year will be going much the same way. Day One I thought I’d dressed adequately for Continue reading -

Book: The Spirit of Tea
Fear not, a post on Mohammad Mirza is also in the works. I ended up stumbling on a great source in English, so now it’s getting a bit long and needs some Continue reading -

Book: Homegrown Tea

So it’s been a long term, and I’m only two chapters into Harvesting Mountains.
Last I checked, anyway.
My life has been consumed almost entirely be geology, and I haven’t done anything tea-related since […]

Book: Tea Production, Land Use Politics, and Ethnic Minorities
I’m free! That is, I’ve finished another harrowing term. I mistakenly thought I would have more free time, and went a little overboard at the library. At least Continue reading -
