In My Cups: Kangaroo Mugs
While I firmly believe that the very best cup of tea can be made only with fresh loose leaves, I have to admit to using a teabag every now and then. Like when I’m rushed and just need a quick cuppa, or if someone offers me tea at their home. It doesn’t happen often, and… Continue reading

The Tea Princess Travels Again
This Tea Princess and her Tea Hubby took a short trip recently. Just a one night stay-over to visit a new town and check out the local tea scene, which was said to be “really steeping.” And this meant a night in a motel and facing the … take a deep breath … motel room… Continue reading

Stopping for Tea in the Netherlands – Part 2
After having stopped in a lovely chocolaterie and tearoom in Part 1, I wasn’t sure what the next chapter of Dutch tea adventures would bring.

Even More Bumper Stickers for Tea Drinkers

Wow! More Tea Artists!
It never ceases to amaze me how creative people can be – especially with tea. Certainly it requires a good deal of artistry to process a top-quality oolong, for example, or to compose a blend of leaves that complement each other perfectly and transports you to tea nirvana as you sip. But right now I’m… Continue reading

Tea and Snow
Tea and snow are natural go-togethers. But there’s snow and then there’s snow. Time to steep up a steaming pot of tea and contemplate just what the heck that means. Social media is such fun and reveals a bit about life in other locations. For example, an area gets a half inch snowfall and is… Continue reading

The Fine Art of Tea Dueling
Even though I don’t have all the facts, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that there’s probably not much going on in the way of dueling nowadays. Which is a good thing. If you’re like me, what little you know about dueling comes mostly from American history class (Hamilton v. Burr)… Continue reading
