Competition Improves Tea
Just as competition in the marketplace spurs innovation and keeps quality high and prices low, so it goes with tea. But sometimes when folks hear the word “competition,” they think the worst: cut-throat tactics, dirty tricks, spreading lies about the “other guys,” and so on. I’m happy to say that most folks in business are… Continue reading

The (Almost) A – Z of Tea Producers
The consensus seems to be that tea is grown in about 40 countries around the world. Some of the powerhouse producers, such as China and India, account for much of the world’s total, while tea growing in some other nations — like the United States and England — is more of a novelty. Below is… Continue reading

Making Sure We’re on the Same Tea Page
“Tea is dehydrating, so if you want a hot drink then go for herbal tea instead.” I know: I nearly spilled my Travel Mug and spat out my tea when a speaker from the fitness industry made this bold statement. I bit my lip and wondered whether I should interrupt when the next claim was… Continue reading

A Teapot in the Sky
It’s a bird — it’s a plane — it’s a teapot in the sky! No, it’s not a teapot-shaped satellite or some space-age steepware aboard the space station. It’s the Teapot Asterim (a sort of sub-constellation), a group of bright stars that are part of the constellation of Sagittarius, which is usually visible over theU.S.… Continue reading

To my mind, there are very few people… Continue reading

From the World Tea Expo inLas Vegas to more tea-related info than you can shake the proverbial stick at, it’s been a busy year for our team of tea writers and for me as blog editor.

Cold War Tea Contingencies
The so-called Cold War was “fought” by various countries in the West, most notably the United States, against the USSR and various other communist countries. In truth it was not so much a war as a lengthy standoff, which by most accounts lasted from the end of World War II until about 1990. Nowadays, the… Continue reading

Working Collabora-tea-vely
My favourite phrase that I heard from a business owner is that “there is no competition, only collaboration” and with the big corporates working alongside each other I think that there is an element of truth in that. How about the independent tearoom which is not part of a chain? The answer is to work… Continue reading

More Tea Growing in Strange Places
Think back to that cup of tea you just finished. There’s a slim to nothing chance that the tea that went into it was grown in the United States or England and very good odds that it hailed from either China, India, or Africa, the world’s top tea growers. While the former countries don’t really… Continue reading
