Thank you.

The ears are thumb-handles, for want of a better word. But they do make it quirky.

Thank you. I looked at doing a long and complicated piece, but in the ends it’s a pretty simple concept in theory, even if it’s incredibly difficult in practice.

I drink my black tea black.

Often, I drink my black tea with others, and some of them drink their black tea white.

In fact, afternoon tea opens up myriad possibilities.

Sometimes, I might try a particular […]

Oh, and I think that is the best use for matcha I ever heard.

Tea should never have whiney notes. Other than that, it looks like a fun night out.

This post takes forever to get to the bit about tea. Of course, I approve of this.

(I read this a few days ago on my phone, but didn’t want to comment via my thumbs)
i think it is really interesting analysis and I am looking forward to your next installment. Don’t make us wait…

My preferred title for this blog post was just too long, so let’s just enjoy it here:
Brexit, Elections, The Politics of Loss and the Implications in the Marketing War between Tea and Coffee.
DISCLAIMER: many […]

My last blog – before the Pictorial Interlude – ended with Lady Devotea and I in Little India, Georgetown, Penang, hailing a cab to go back to our accommodation.

Over dinner, we’d discussed the idea that we […]

My last blog post was a bit of a teaser on our last night in Penang.

Then… nothing for two weeks! I’m sorry about that.

A combination of lack of time and illness and then technical difficulties at my […]

I have a passport that says I have never been to India.

However, standing in a confusion of sounds and sights that suggested otherwise, we soaked up music, dialects, scents, the sound of blaring car horns and […]

It is obligatory, when travelling, to enjoy an afternoon tea. Admittedly, it’s not always easy. If you’re in London, it’s easy to find. The Australian Antarctic Territory, not so. Most places are somewhere in […]

I bought with me on this trip a tin of “Love of My Life 2016”. Most years around Valentine’s Day, I like to come up with a unique blend. This year, due to using some ingredients from our own garden that were in […]

Yesterday, I did not blog. This is because for about 14 hours between the very end of Lady Devotea and I’s 30th anniversary day and dragging myself up yesterday afternoon, I was quite unwell.

This also led to a […]

The cup of tea in the image above is the Marrakech Mint at China House, Georgetown, Penang.
It was terrible, but that doesn’t matter. In fact, apart from a revisit to the Tea Blog experience of a couple of days […]

The image at the top of this post is a swimming pool we spent some time in and around yesterday, and during the day, a theme for today’s post coalesced in my mind.

Too bad, it will have to wait, because life […]

Well, here we are in Penang, Malaysia, and I spent yesterday drinking plenty of tea.

My Lady and I had decided to get a good night’s sleep (you can translate that as ‘arrived near comatose’ if you like) and so […]
