Robert Godden wrote a new post, Maybe. Maybe Not., on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 1 year, 4 months ago
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 […]

Robert Godden wrote a new post, Dumb and Dumber, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 1 year, 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 […]

Robert Godden wrote a new post, The Power of Positive Reviewing, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 1 year, 6 months 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:

Do you like the best green tea in China – […]

Hilarious and sad at the same time.

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 1 year, 7 months 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 1 year, 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 1 year, 10 months 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 1 year, 10 months 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 1 year, 10 months 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 2 years, 1 month 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.

Humanity never fails to disappoint me.
Just when you think that only good things are happening, like racing cars being launched into space*, you see something that, like a Hall and Oates Christmas Album**, […]

For those who have been wondering why I have not written for over a month and feel that means a whole part of your life is missing, well, sorry about that. I do have 5 jobs, there’s an election on here and I’m […]

Preamble:
Right, pay attention, I’ve just coined a new word for a certain condition. I haven’t gone for the time honoured naming-it-after-oneself method (as did Hans Asperger) or after the victim (e.g. Lou […]

I say “heicha”, you say “Sheng Cha”, let’s call the whole thing less desirable than a decent 2F Darjeeling.
