Signs Your Tea Kettle Needs to Retire
That old faithful workhorse of your daily tea time may need to retire. “Retire?” you ask. Yes, as in “let the poor thing rest and go play a round of golf or two.” No pension involved here, though. Just a bit of kind-heartedness and common sense. The top reason for retiring a tea kettle is… Continue reading

The Tea Gadget & Offbeat News Report
You don’t have to look too hard to find a silly news headline these days. One of my favorite tea-related ones in recent weeks comes from the British press.
