Are Tea Drinkers Happier Than Coffee Drinkers?
So what gives? Are tea drinkers really happier than coffee drinkers? Well, it’s probably a bad idea to make such bold and sweeping statements that take in millions (billions?) of people around the world. But that didn’t stop the British press from reporting not so long ago on a study comparing the two groups. There’s Continue reading

5 Signs That You’re “Going Southern” at Tea Time
Maybe you’ve been having tea in the afternoon in the British style or you’ve even gone Indian. Or maybe you stick with that teabag dunked in a mug of hot water. Then you notice a change coming. The signs are there — you just have to be able to recognize them. Believe it or not, Continue reading

How to Choose the Right Tea for Your Recipe
With an infinite number of possibilities for tea out there, it can be a bit daunting trying to decide which one to use in your recipes.

Putting the “British” into a British Product
The U.S. is thought of as a melting pot of cultures, but they are not alone in this worldwide, at least not in recent years. Great Britain influenced so much of the world and was in turn influenced by it, and so qualifies as a melting pot. Tea, foods, spices, and much more from the Continue reading

It’s Not Too Early to Order Those Holiday Gift Baskets!
Yes, folks, the artificial Christmas trees are already on display for sale at various stores, right alongside the Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations.
