Tea lovers need not be told that tea is a wonderful thing, but we often find ourselves in the minority on this point when engaged in general conversation on the merits of hot drinks.

Tea Quiz: Which Color of Tea Has More Caffeine
Time for a tea quiz: which of these teas has more caffeine? Rank them high to low. Darker colors of tea liquid are often taken to indicate that something is stronger in flavor or more such-and-such.

Tea Pricing – What Makes Tea Expensive, Part 1
Tea pricing is one of the most complex pricing “systems” of all, comparable to that of precious stones: in both cases, only an experienced expert will be able to tell.
