I must admit I’ve never tried a Zealong. There’s so many oolongs to work through in China. And the official list of black tea suppliers in China is over 33,000.
So, I should get to the NZ stuff by the time I get […]

Oh sure. add a bit of madness and the opportunity to tell lies, and I’m sure to join in, right?
Highly offended at the suggestion.

Alright, count me in.

Is $6 per pound realistic? I guess it must be.
I liked the idea of a moving flavour. I think that would require also shifting packaging. Wine is able to be sold with 2005-2006-2007 next to each other so why not tea?

I’ve heard good things about this move. I think it looks to be a wonderful opportunity.

That’s from the same blog where I said something HILARIOUS about coffee drinkers, but I guess that doesn’t qualify.
There’s a few modern ones that I’ve seen floating about via @godsoftea. I think my favourite is […]

This was the very discussion on the tea salon a few days ago.
There is an ISO document that sets out the terms you “should” use. The general consensus was that at over $100 for 4-6 pages, the ISO could stick it, […]

Great ad, but … “Masculinizing?’

Mixed emotions there.
I have some hygiene concerns about dancing on a cake trolley.

“Lapsang Souchong is for little girls”

Politically correct people like myself might find that offensive.

The article is odd.Why doesn’t he compare a grocery shop to a café?It looks to me like this guy is big on analysis, metrics and forecasting, all based on no understanding whatsoever of the difference between […]

I am a self-declared lover of Indian teas above all others.Part of the problem is they taste too good, too indulgent. A thin, grassy contemptible Japanese tea tastes like it must be good for you – or else why […]

It’s an appalling concept, but Id rather someone put milk in a great tea than went without and used a teabag

Lots of fun to be had here. But what is the future for Leaf Box tea?

We used to have customers who were horrified that our retail staff did not wear lab coats, hair nets and sterile gloves when scooping tea out of the jars.

We suggested adding boiling water to the leaves at some […]
