“An Account of the Manufacture of Black Tea in India” by Charles Bruce
There was a time when China was pretty much the only game in town when it came to tea. Which was okay at first for the Europeans as they gradually began to adopt this new beverage. But by the early nineteenth century, when the British had developed a marked fondness for the drink, they began… Continue reading

On “Bad” Tea Reviews
A couple months ago my own tea site moved into its eighth year of publication. Because it’s always been a one-man show, I obviously can’t hope to match the output of some of those big tea review sites, and quite honestly I don’t even try. I’ve only written about 150 reviews at my site over… Continue reading

Profiles in Tea: Thomas Kasper
This is the story of how a German translator and former beer drinker came to know and love tea … and became the owner of Siam Tee, specializing in the teas of northern Thailand. I’ve sampled several of these teas, and was so impressed that I had to learn more. How did you get involved… Continue reading

Aunt Martha’s Stories About Tea
In the time that I’ve been writing about tea I’ve run across countless books on the subject, but relatively few of them were geared toward a younger audience. I actually can’t think of any at the moment, but that might just be a failing of my memory. I ran across one such volume not long… Continue reading

“The History of the Tea-Cup” By Rev. G.R. Wedgwood
You might not stop to think about the history of a relatively mundane object such as a tea cup but it has a history nonetheless, a history that was explored in an 1878 volume appropriately titled The History of the Tea-Cup. It’s not completely clear if the author of this book, Rev. G. R. Wedgwood,… Continue reading

Tea For Two and Other Songs About Tea
After writing several articles exploring various poems about tea (check out the latest one here) it seemed like it was time to tackle the topic of songs about tea. As noted in this article not so long ago, there’s been something of a fad for rap songs about tea in the past few years. Although… Continue reading

Artists and Tea
Every now and then I run across an article that promises to reveal some number of alternative uses for tea. I rarely pay much attention to these since my only real interest in tea is drinking it. But I have to admit that, if you’re going to do something else with tea, you might as… Continue reading

The Other Tea Parties
Recent political movements aside, there’s no question that the mother of all tea parties was the one that took place in Boston a few centuries ago. That was on December 16, 1773, to be precise. As noted in this article a little while back, it’s an event that recently gained its own spiffy new tourist… Continue reading

“Indian Tea: Its Culture and Manufacture” by Claud Bald
The Indian tea industry was not yet a century old, in 1908, when Claud Bald published (the second edition of) Indian Tea: Its Culture and Manufacture, but it was doing quite nicely for itself. The first forays to assess the Assam region for its tea growing potential didn’t really get rolling until about eighty years… Continue reading
