Robert Godden wrote a new post on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 10 years, 5 months ago

Today is May 29th, and on this day in 1660 the English Throne was restored.

Here on this tea blog, why should we care?

For starters, Charles II of England marred Catherine of Braganza, who is credited with […]

I like the fact you took ages to get to the point. I like the fact you tied unrelated things together on with an appallingly flimsy literary device. I like the graphic you snuck in while no one was watching. And I […]

Those of you who pay attention and follow my every word – that’s all of you, right? – will know that I have had an uneasy relationship with coffee. I outed myself as bi-beverage when I wrote Swinging Both Ways. I […]

I doubt it, Jackie. It would mean something exciting happening at a Winter Olympics

It may be worth starting one, just for that!
Robert Godden commented on the post, Quote Me. I Dare You, on the site Lord Devotea's Tea Spouts 10 years, 6 months ago

It’s a dare!

Thanks Pete. Feel free to share it like crazy!

Thank you, I am thrilled!

I’ve noticed that 5 separate tea companies are now quoting me,with just one particular quote. It’s not one of my more controversial ones.

So, I’m throwing down the gauntlet. Here’s some new one to share if you dare.

It isn’t the hardest boycott ever. For example, one could protest by just going to another fancy hotel for afternoon tea.

In 1989, I found myself on a plane belonging to Hassanal Bolkiah.

There was a pilot’s strike in Australia, and I had earned a trip overseas for selling many printers. This involved getting to and from Sydney, […]

Tea is pretty simple.

When you serve tea in a commercial setting, you can be mostly relaxed about causing allergic reactions.

Of course, you need to filter the water and boil it properly. Tap water can be […]

I can’t get behind the Malawi reference at all. This is a stellar black tea, and none of Malawi’s insipid pretenders should be mentioned in the same breath.

I must agree with you.
The list consists of one great tea blogger: Jen
The others are just using blog technology as a way of disseminating their information.
I must say I agree with your list above, and not […]

Thank you so much for that.

Life has a variety of states. Sometimes, you can be waiting for something.

Unlike in the play Waiting for Godot, where <SPOILER ALERT> Godot never arrives, most things you wait for actually happen. Along with a […]

It is shameful. That is indeed the word.

I agree, Ricardo.

Appalling you is one of my aims in life, Geoff.

Most of you reading this can recall a scandal, even if vaguely.

In America, there was a president who said “I am not a crook” Another who said “I DID NOT have sex with that woman”. And another who said “mumble […]
