Tea Kettle Philosophy — A Return to Good Manners
Lately, there seems to be a tendency more and more for people to be rude. Tea is a chance to return to gentility and display good manners, at least for the duration of the tea time. We’re not talking about such trivialities as avoiding the pointing of the pinky when raising cup to lips (which Continue reading

Souvenir Tea Mugs
True and dedicated tea drinkers know that all of those so-called “coffee mugs” out there are really tea mugs. And souvenir tea mugs are the best, so amassing a collection is a natural thing to do for a tea drinker who travels. When hubby and I met, he had already acquired several very nice souvenir Continue reading

Tea and the Color Wheel
Tea color is a key indicator of what you’re drinking, both dry and in the cup. To complicate matters, lots of tea flavoring and blending is going on these days. Reading through a company’s offerings can set your head to spinning and your eyeballs to rolling in their sockets like an old-time cartoon character. By Continue reading

Hansel and Gretel Can’t Eat This Tea-for-One Set
The story of Hansel and Gretel is fairly widely known — a couple of urchins who nibble on a gingerbread house in the deep, dark forest, and almost end up as dinner for the witch who lives there. Fortunately, no such urchins exist in our house nor would they be so obtuse as to try Continue reading

Pouring Tea Like a Moroccan Waiter
Many years ago I had one of the most memorable dining experiences of my life and one that, as a tea drinker, has stayed with me decades past. It was a Moroccan restaurant serving up delicious foods.

Skimping on the Tea Leaves
The economy is down, but you don’t want to miss out on that special tea you love so much. So, you skimp a bit on the amount of tea leaves you use when steeping. Very understandable. Your tea purchase goes further. There’s one catch: you’re also skimping on tea flavor and therefore short-changing yourself. Steeping Continue reading

Would You Drink a Tea with a Name Like This?
Tea vendors sometimes think that coming up with rather esoteric names for their teas, especially their blended and/or flavored teas, helps make those products be memorable in customers minds. But do they go too far? Would you drink a tea with a truly “out there” name? Hubby, who has quite the sense of humor, and Continue reading
