Robert Godden started the topic Disappearing Drafts in the forum Tea Conversations 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Lately I have been creating drafts for blog posts and then having them disappear.
I don’t know why, but it’s super annoying.
The pictures uploaded for the drafts are still in my media collection.
Anyone else had the same thing? I’ve put hours into the same posts twice now and it’s just not there. -

Great work. Glad the cat is unharmed.

Robert Godden wrote a new post, (High) Rising Phoenix, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 2 months, 4 weeks ago
A visit to Pheonix Tea was on the cards again, but this time, not the wonderful Phoenix Tea of Burien, Washington State, USA, but Phoenix Tea of Hong Kong.
Google Maps suggested walking in a strange loop out of […]

Robert Godden wrote a new post, Milk Tea, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 3 months ago
As someone who doesn’t take milk in my tea normally, I’m nevertheless drawn to the various forms of milk tea as a moth is to flame.
So, just to recap the last 300 blog posts, I’ve drunk thousands of cups of tea […]

Even you can change and adapt yourself. Beware, next time you will go for …

I’m actually not much of a fan of milk tea or bubble tea, but Hong Kong-style is the only way I like either. So . .. that’s something.

If you are a regular reader, or a casual reader, or you’ve read .001% of my stuff, you’ll know that I’m a tad anti-teab*g.
Well, perhaps more than a tad, given that I have previously advocated setting fire to […]

You went boldly where no Devotea ever went 😉

Robert Godden wrote a new post, Dumb and Dumber, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 5 months ago
Taste is a very individual thing, and it amazes me that people try to regulate it, or define it, or pretend it doesn’t matter.
Here’s an example: Vegemite.
If you are Australian. you’ll know that Vegemite is […]

Ads are most of the time confusing.

Robert Godden wrote a new post, The Power of Positive Reviewing, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 5 months, 3 weeks ago
I started as a video reviewer, and have many times reviewed teas on this blog, so messages like this aren’t unusual, I get them all the time:
steven zhou:
hello
Do you like the best green tea in China – […]

Hilarious and sad at the same time.

Robert Godden wrote a new post, Petersham Bound, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 6 months ago
A small quantity of our Lord Petersham tea is leaving these shores today, heading for the US of A.
To be specific, Petersham, Massachusetts.
For the simple reason that the town, or at the least the Trustees […]

And the coat? and the hat?
You are being a bit too narrow in your recap.

Robert Godden wrote a new post, You’re Special, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 6 months, 3 weeks ago
We’ve been doing some thinking lately, about our reason for existing.
I mean, originally The Devotea was a YouTube tea review channel. Then an online store, then a market store as well, then no markets but […]

We are thankful for you, Geoff.

Robert Godden wrote a new post, Curse of the Neti, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 7 months ago
I have been having trouble hearing in one ear lately. There is a metallic buzz in my right ear that makes people in real life and on TV sound like Cybermen from Doctor Who. And if you’re a Doctor Who fan, you’ll […]

I will be sending them a bill. If they pay it, I think we’ve proved it.

Robert Godden commented on the post, A Tea Menu I Loved, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Thank you for your kind comments, Karla. The “Boston tea Party” (it wasn’t named that until decades after the event) didn’t significantly reduce American tea consumption for over 100 years, so no-one that was […]

You’re welcome. I do love your blog.

Robert Godden wrote a new post, A Tea Menu I Loved, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 9 months, 2 weeks ago
It’s fair to say that when we are out and about, we do not always love the tea menu.
If one is at a specialised tea house, then there’s likely a fair chance. Even if it’s a specialised, specialised tea house, […]

Robert Godden wrote a new post, The Tea Trade Quartet, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 9 months, 3 weeks ago
It’s been three months since I last wrote a tea blog post, which is about three times slacker than my longest previous gap. Over seven years and many words – this will be my 395th blog post on this site (after […]

There’s a genuine Wardian case at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Hobart, a simple but incredibly effective device.

Robert Godden wrote a new post, Milking The Tea Clock, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 1 year ago
Today is Lady Devotea’s birthday, so there is no better time to talk about the tea issue that sometimes divides us: milk.
I tend not to take milk and she tends to.
Of course, I’m not adverse to a sweet, […]

We moved to England to sell good quality tea. Lasted 3 months. I feel your pain.

It seems like it was an interesting moment. Honestly? I would have loved seeing and hearing you speak Chinese (mine is even closer to 0 than yours).
