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 […]

A second Devotea?
This is impossible.

Robert Godden wrote a new post, Dead Leaves Society, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 1 year, 3 months ago
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 […]

But by its death, it gave birth to a special drink, one with a lot of unique and living flavours.

Robert Godden wrote a new post, Sharing Tea In The Time of COVID, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 1 year, 3 months ago
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 […]

I like the clever looking part.

I agree, what a wonderful phrase. It describes our bunch of writers here on tea Trade, we are all blossoms.

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 […]

Power to the tea shops but that doesn’t mean one can’t think before acting.

I agree. More companies talk about it than do it, though.

Nice idea to examine the data. It makes sense

Robert Godden wrote a new post, Memories Of A Childhood, on the site Beasts Of Brewdom 1 year, 7 months ago
I remember a scene from my childhood as though it were yesterday. I must have been 8 years old, and it was time to catch the train back to school for the term. With my straw boater at a rakish angle and my maroon […]

Robert Godden wrote a new post, From Thailand With Love, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 1 year, 9 months ago
Last week, there was a day where I didn’t have a good day. Lady Devotea did not have a good day either.
In fact, it was early on in a succession of challenging days.
Now I don’t want you to think it was […]

The other day I got asked a simple question about tea, requiring a yes/no answer. And it was this: “I’m anaemic, should I switch to herbal tea?”
This was on Quora, where I’ve previously had a great deal of […]

At my “peak”, for want of a better word, I posted over 100 blog posts in one year. But lately that has tapered off a little.
I say ‘a little’, but this is my fourth post for 2019.
I know it’s been hard for […]

Totally adding “Overpopulated Scrotum” to my lexicon. And, quite frankly, if you had named the tea that oh, I can think of several people in the US that would have bought it just for name alone.

I would never have guessed it (and I tried to do so but only in my mind after reading your Facebook post).
And even if you didn’t mention me, I was drinking tea after tea wondering if you had stopped writing (okay, I would have drunk tea after tea even without that but it sounds better when I say it that way, doesn’t it?).

Robert Godden started the topic Disappearing Drafts in the forum Tea Conversations 2 years, 6 months 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. -
