Can’t be about the PJs. “No” pj’s would’ve been brave @thedevotea – We’ll still have to wonder what @iheartteas meant. I suspect she means “brave” for taping your blending efforts Geoff, when you well know they’re […]

Good morning! Onto my second mug in a minute. I see @thedevotea is now home, welcome! Let us know about your scorching hot hols. On another witty blog post perhaps. Talking of homes how is your new one @thepurrfectcup aka @littlemewbrew aka @collarcityteas? Anyone else returned home, leaving home, or moving home?
Can’t believe the old year’s…[Read more]-
I’ve found it a long and full year., At least 3000 cups of tea.
-
It is still not the time for me to return home 😀
-
The new house is nice. Still trying to unpack it all. *sigh*

Wonderful – enjoyed your poetry here, and in your beautiful book “The World’s special tea” – http://www.agiftoftea.com/the-book.php

Thanks everyone for your posts, comments and updates yesterday. Really enjoyed @thedevotea‘s post and I know many others did too. Clearly the blogging on here is top notch. Whether it’s whimsical, cultured, scandalous, terrifying, devoted, mewing, reviewing, lazy, economical, joyful, hearty, well traveled or not.

Somehow I missed this beautiful post by @jopj – and I pride myself on reading everything on here. @thedevotea did you see you were mentioned?

Something for the Beasty Boysz aka the Beasts of Brewdom perhaps? @thedevotea @lazyliteratus @lahikmajoe ? Tea list needs extending though.

“The list needs extending”? It needs to be a proper list. At the moment it’s a head or tails situation.
My minimum requirement is ten choices for an afternoon tea (Japanese teas do not get counted). And I have a speciality tea shop at the Barbican already on my list.

@TheDevotea thanks and there are 2 schools of analysts: those looking at the graphics and those looking at the numbers.But none of them has to be an expert in a peculiar industry (although it can happens).

Spent my afternoon working on something for @thedevotea – I’m really pleased with how well it is going. Still need to throw some more 1’s and 0’s at it, but I think will be a nice surprise for everyone…!

There is no better way to spend an afternoon!

For the greater good of teatra.de 😀

Ha ha @thedevotea, one tweet on twitter…So, Geoff, once you’ve spent a whole140 characters on a tea review, you can fast track it to the next anecdotal, personal, highly entertaining, spunky, thoughtful blog […]

Celebrated the 1st of Advent & decorated the house. Things look really nice, but it’s still too warm! Thought of @thedevotea in Ozzie land and how they wear shorts at Christmas. Looking around while shopping today, that’s what I saw several people wear too. Stop it people! Don’t wear summer clothes. It’s the Holiday season, and it’s supposed to be…

I shall be spending Christmas eve in shorts, with a torch, a spear and a bucket, in the shallow waters around Cowell, SA.
And loving it.-
Had to look that place up of course. Population of 791? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowell,_South_Australia
What are you going to be doing with a spear out there? Is it the sort of little place you find a lot of tea bag sippers?-
Christmas = snow

Happy Thanksgiving – well just like @thepurrfectcup said: “to those out there celebrating. Happy Thursday to the rest of you not.”
PS: And Friday. Some of you like @yaya and possibly @thedevotea & @verity just go rushing through the week at greatest speed. I’m a little sorry you missed Thursday here. -

I figure @thedevotea might like it too, him being an Orwell fan and all.

I love it. It has had a high rotation in my household along with Elemental’s Cup Of Brown Joy for several years

Not surprised. That’s what happens when you make tea that way. And with a bag. Wonder if they offered @thedevotea the part first? He was probably too busy writing his blog.
[bpfb_video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=AwVf8b2Skgs[/bpfb_video]-
Absolutely brilliant. I couldn’t even take my eyes of the screen it was so compelling. Best viewed with good speakers turned up loud to really feel it!
-
But WHY was it bagged tea? 😉 Then again that was why he was probably so angry. However, this was in fact awesome.
-
Of course @thepurrfectcup, that limp bag would drive anyone mad ; )
-
-
Amateur. He barely threw it at all. And I doubt he actually hurt anyone. If I had been asked, there would have been casualties.
And Christmas is cancelled.-
Would you have removed his heart with a spoon too?
-
Yes.

Reminds me of @thedevotea‘s Earl Grey blog post: http://thedevotea.teatra.de/2011/11/18/tea-earl-grey/

And amazingly, I’ve just written the word soap. For reasons that will be obvious soon.

“Worlds largest tea bag”
Plenty of room for those leaves to expand!
Photo would make a nice print perhaps for @thedevotea?

No, @thedevotea already has a role, he is Charles 2nd Earl Grey.

I think that @thedevotea would make a suitable Robert Fortune (all fired up, determined to find some decent tea at last) and Anna could be, uhm…well, I don’t know… any takers?
Anyone? Anyone at all?-

There now you know where you can stick your tea bags – into a delicious home made loaf of bread. Would @thedevotea sit down and have a slice?

No I would not. Sheer Bloody laziness! If you’re going to go to all the trouble of making this cake, make it with a nice loose leaf Yunnan. Bloody amateurs. Should be locked up or shot or both.

And a Happy New year to you too, Jackie. Whilst I know you are a bit behind over there, I hope my next blog post eases the pain.
