Refuting Tea Misinformation, Politely
It’s a conundrum: The world is rife with tea misinformation, and those of us who love this beverage often find ourselves wincing at one of the many tea misunderstandings that often come up in conversation or online. Nobody likes a know-it-all, of course, so I often just keep my mouth shut (or my fingers off… Continue reading

Tea Traditions — Malta
In the blue Mediterranean lies an archipelago of islands, one of which is named Malta. Not quite the setting where you would expect tea experts and tea traditions dating back centuries.

Group Book Review — “Tea Reader” by Katrina Ávila Munichiello

And now, without any further ado, a few tea-related bits that didn’t quite merit a full article but were too good not to share. Who drinks their tea the strongest? Hard to say, but in The Little Tea Book, published in 1903 by Arthur Gray, the author noted, “In the interior of Australia all the… Continue reading

Panacea: A Poem Upon Tea
Are there more poems devoted to the joys of tea than to its cousin in the hot beverage field, coffee? I haven’t done the research and thus concede that I might be wrong, but I’d be willing to bet that there are.
