Tea Veterans — Nigel Melican
Time to visit with another person who has been in the “tea trenches” for many years. Another dedicatee to the Camellia Sinensis plant (the tea bush) and to processing it for a variety of tastes. Someone who contributes daily to the enjoyment of tea by people the world over. Another unsung hero, a veteran in… Continue reading

Tea Veterans — Jane Pettigrew
As a tea aficionado devoted to knowing more about this beverage that is becoming an increasingly important part of my life, I am taking a look at some of the people who have been in the “tea trenches” for many years. Their dedication to the Camellia Sinensis plant (the tea bush) and to processing it… Continue reading

Tea Blogs Revisited
The increasing popularity of specialty teas in the last decade or so has brought about a corresponding increase in the number of blogs devoted to tea, including this one. Your humble author publishes another one and it’s there that I maintain a tea blog list that currently numbers well in excess of 300 entries. That’s… Continue reading

The Death of Tea…or Not
The reports of tea’s death – if we may paraphrase one of Mark Twain’s best known witticisms – have been greatly exaggerated. They always are. Tea has been with us a very long time, is still said to be the number one hot beverage in the entire world and it isn’t likely to go anywhere… Continue reading

It’s hard to imagine that once upon a time I found the term “orange pekoe” to be such a mystery. It’s really quite simple. “Pekoe” is a common grading of Indian and Ceylonian teas that has several finer gradings (each indicated by an additional letter added to the left of the others). Here is one… Continue reading

The Original Tea Partiers
It’s a funny thing about tea. Specifically the fact that a drink that we tend to associate with prim and proper little ladies sitting down to ever so civilized afternoon teas or perhaps with equally refined scenes of Asian serenity, as in the Japanese tea ceremony, should also have been associated, over a period of… Continue reading

The Economics of Tea
If you believe, like so many of us do, that even the best teas are meant to be consumed and enjoyed, then you might find it a bit odd that there are people who view tea more as an investment strategy. It’s an offbeat notion that garners a smattering of press attention every now and… Continue reading

“Culinary Tea” by Cynthia Gold and Lise Stern
For some tea drinkers – present company included – a cup of tea is just fine and nothing more is needed. We drink our tea, sometimes in copious and staggering amounts, but that is all. Other tea lovers might want to take things a step further and do such things as incorporating tea into their… Continue reading

Sensing Tea
What role do the five senses have on our perception of a cup of tea? Well, that depends. When it comes to several of the senses it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out. It should go without saying (but we’ll say it anyway) that taste is the most important of these senses. The caffeine… Continue reading
