7.07 a.m.
I’m at Woolworths, picking up some items for breakfast. I usually skip through the tea aisle, which is tragically awful, but something catches my eye. It’s this.

It’s hard to buy someone like me a Christmas present. I find it hard to ask for things. I’d rather buy ten gifts for other people. (Specific people, not just randoms.)
But I made two suggestions this […]

As has been observed many times, tea is a simple process. Put leaves in a pot or gaiwan, add water, wait, pour. While you can get better at it, and use better tea, it’s an essentially achievable process.
As I […]

Robert Godden wrote a new post, Valiant Fusion, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 5 months, 1 week ago
In about 1992, we acquired a 1972 Valiant for Lady Devotea to drive.
We asked my Dad – who was a car dealer – to find us a small, second hand 4-cylinder car at a modest price as we didn’t have much money, and a […]

A Valliant? I need to try this tea.

Mr Bob Egle died in June 1971.
Mr Jethro Batt became very ill in October 1971
Mr Fred Biggs died in November 1971.
The men all had a number of similarities. They had gastrointestinal symptoms similar to […]

This is why toasts were invented but with a cup of tea, it is not that easy to do.

Honestly, I think “Tea and Delicate Breasts”should be your next blog.

Kale, eh?
The super-darling super-food of the super-earnest, it has a super-reputation for super-godliness like some super-evangelist, think Jimmy Swaggart, just before it turned out had a super-saucy […]

Do we eat them and drink or drink and eat them?

In Russia, tea is an important part of culture and society. When you tell a taxi driver or waiter to “keep the change”, in Russian you literally say “the rest is for tea”.
Of course, Russian Caravan tea is an […]

Today, I’d like to share with you an exercise in improving our corporate logo. Here it is, in case you’ve forgotten:
Lovely, isn’t it?
But I started to wonder if something was missing. So, I […]

I think in English you write something along the year to mean it was founded in, don’t you?
But you are right, no one would.

As those of you who hold a small celebration every time I post a blog post will be aware, December 22, 2019 was such a day. In that piece, I announced that the gift of spending some time and having some tea with […]

Cheers for a great tea day with Lord Devotea himself.

Let me tell you about a guy who is, frankly, a bit of a lunatic.
He’s veeeeeerrrrry fussy about the way he brews his beverages. Not just because he likes to control water temperature and water/raw material […]

This is impossible.

A chance comment describing tea as “dead leaves” caused eyebrows to lift.
It was my friend Geoffrey Norman, sharing a Facebook memory of a paid commission to write about tea, which he described as “that time I […]

With a tea event on my horizon, it seems like a good time to pause and consider how the COVID-19 pandemic has, and should, modify our tea habits.
Good procedures are good procedures, so we should look to taking […]

To me, America is like a great white shark. It’s sleek, it’s big, it’s an inevitable part of life, it’s at or near the top of the food chain, and, particularly in certain parts of LA, there’s an awful lot of very […]
