There’s been a bit of a hullabaloo in the USA this week: some of you may have noticed that there’s a new President over there and his team are working from a different textbook to most.
So far, they’ve embraced […]

Today I have arisen in the quiet aftermath of almost a month of house guests.
I find life generally, a bit busy. I run the tea business with Lady Devotea, and also a consulting business, and also work part-time […]

It was a great day. I have always said I would love to actually like a Japanese tea. And I really liked this one.
You may have to prize some out of Jo before your new President closes the borders and makes […] -

Yesterday had potential to be a day of high drama. Not just because there was a predicted apocalyptic level storm for my home town. Not just because it was the day of the first AUS vs PAK one-day cricket match of […]

Lately, I have been increasingly concerned about Australia becoming the 52nd state of the US, language-wise. I read an Australian bestseller where the entire book, including the title, used the ugly American […]

Not only have you been nominated many times for awards for your tea blogging, you have won at least once, and quite frankly, were ripped off when you didn’t. Own it!

Pinching an idea from the world’s most popular tea blogger, Nicole Martin at teaformeplease.com , I am posting a short rundown on which of my 49 blog posts in 2016 were the most widely read.
Reading these ten […]

Even though I watched it from the age of 3, ‘my’ Doctors are Pertwee and Baker, They are ones I can quote line for line. (I also had a teenage thing for Sarah Jane Smith) . Loved them both but Baker worked better […]

For a bunch of reasons, my blogging is sporadic right now.
If you are sincerely missing my delightful prose and deep love for all humanity, I offer below a reprint of some text I did today for an informational […]

David is, in my opinion, the finest actor there is, and he was an exceptional Dr Who. I chose Tom Baker because his version seemed to suit better. I way have lost some younger readers, though, and most of the […]

Yes, that’s right. I tried to avoid more recent language and describe it as Scrooge would have. I always think of Tom Baker as the most iconic of the Doctors.

It has long been rumoured that Charles Dickens removed a “stave” from A Christmas Carol, in between III & IV. At the end of Stave III, Ebenezer Scrooge “lifting up his eyes, beheld a solemn Phantom, draped an […]

I read a lot.
I read surprising few books on tea. Of course, I’ve read my own a few times, and in the case of The Infusiast, should have read it a few more times before I okayed the print run with “1939” […]

A few posts ago, I had a good old-fashioned whinge about tea companies and their ilk either (a) offering me review samples or (b) offering me samples as a vendor (as I cover both camps) and then withdrawing the […]

Australia has gone nuts.
We’ve had a tremendous furore, and it’s not been over poverty or abuse or the quest for world peace.
No, the bone of contention is that most lacklustre of berries*; the avocado, a […]

Behold, a wall of tea!
An impenetrable fortress of tea. Twenty-one teas, in smart new boxes, aiming to stop reprobates such as coffee taking up space in the world’s drinking vessels.
This is the culmination […]
