I like the idea of sorting teas by country of origin as this shop does. I guess it means they sell only single origin tea. No Assam mixed with Ceylon and such. Anyway, looks “ueber cool” – very trendy indeed. I hope the light that floods into it doesn’t affect the tea. As long as it’s not in glass jars – don’t see any – I guess it’ll be fine.…[Read more]

I think I may have introduced a bug while working on an issue for @kittylovestea – I put some code in that probably caused a lockout for the rest of you.

@xavier @bram @liberteas @kittylovestea – can you please login and attempt to access the dashboards of your websites. I’m able to access everyone’s with the special permissions that I have, and…[Read more]

Brilliant find @xavier once again! How do you discover these things? For anyone who doesn’t read French just have your browser translate it. A wonderful subway map for tea drinkers!

Thank you @xavier, a really interesting find! You can be our news scout. You are our news scout! 🙂

@xavier comments can be deactivated on a per post/per page basis. I’ve now gone into your blog and deactivated comments for your About Me page.

@bram I’ll look into a way to permenantly disable comments on the attachments pages. I tried a few things but none worked. No reason to have it available.

@xavier – does this link not work for you? http://teaconomics.teatra.de/

I was able to load it fine. If it doesn’t work, I’ll need to investigate.

@xavier Tea Planet has a few from Spain, but none listed yet from Portugal. I think now you have a mission to locate and add some…

@xavier – I only just saw this, are you still experiencing this issue?

No, I haven’t had any. I didn’t even realize they were available. It’s been a while since I’ve had a cup of Darjeeling, let alone a First Flush. Thanks to you @xavier I’ve been reminded how good they can taste.

@Xavier. Whoah, that is fascinating. Sounds like a good “class” project.

@xavier – I don’t know, but the owner doesn’t talk about it in his interview there and that interview is 4 years old now. If Sbux was going to move on his idea, he would have made a deal with them by now.

I did find their website, http://mysmartcup.com/

From the looks of it, it appears that they are simply just working hard to get their…[Read more]

That’s pretty clever @xavier, I’ve never seen this or heard of it before either. But I imagine it would make the cup of tea/coffee a lot pricier. It can’t be cheap to make, at least not compared to the standard lids.
