The Tea Princess Has a “Breakdown”
Your fave “Tea Princess” had a teensy weensy bit of a breakdown recently. No, I didn’t succumb to the screaming meemies, but I did struggle valiantly for over a week with a temperamental computer that finally died. Even expert assistance could not revive it. Sigh! Somehow I made it through this trying and traumatic time,… Continue reading

Pairing Tea and Food — Pomegranate Vanilla Scones and Sencha Tea
Foodies are folks who like to talk about, write about, blog about, and tweet about food. From restaurant reviews to original recipes, nothing related to food escapes their notice.

It’s a situation I think back on while sipping my tea. And chuckle at my misjudging of the situation! The… Continue reading

Joining the “Save the Teapot” Campaign
Intrepid tea reporter Bill Lengeman mentioned in a recent article the campaign to save the teapot, that is, to show tea drinkers everywhere that nothing surpasses the teapot when it comes to producing a superb cuppa!

Competition Improves Tea
Just as competition in the marketplace spurs innovation and keeps quality high and prices low, so it goes with tea.

I’m happy to say that most folks in business are… Continue reading
