Raising a Cup to Will and Kate
Everyone loves a Royal Wedding. Especially one like this, between a Prince and a commoner. It’s literally the stuff fairytales are made of. The big day will have everything Walt Disney could have asked for, from the trumpeters to the eighteen-horse carriage procession to the evening of dancing in the great ballroom of Buckingham Palace. Continue reading

Over 200 (correction: 300!) Years of Twinings Tea
One of the more established tea companies around is Twinings. Since 1706 when the company opened a warehouse in London, they have been wowing their customers with such classics as English Breakfast. In the mid-1800s they created a tea flavored with oil of bergamot and named it after the 2nd Earl Grey, Prime Minister from Continue reading

The Story of Bewley’s, an Irish Fave Tea
There was a time when tea was unknown on the “Emerald Isle” that we call Ireland. And then came people with entrepreneurial spirit who thought, “Hey, I think some tea would go over big here.” One of these people was Samuel Bewley, founder of what is now a top tea brand in not just Ireland Continue reading

The Story of Davidson’s Tea
Since 1976 (or 1977, depending on which source you go by) a tea company in the U.S. has been steadily building a reputation for carrying fine teas. That company is Davidson’s Tea located in Sparks, Nevada, next door to Reno. There’s an old joke in Reno that it’s so hot there you can see sparks Continue reading

Review — Stash Organic Earl Grey Black & Green Tea
Name: Organic Earl Grey Black & Green Tea Brand: Stash Tea Type: Black and green tea, flavored Form: Paper tea bag Review: I confess to being highly suspicious of Stash’s Organic Earl Grey Black & Green Tea. For one thing, every tea company going has their own version, and all claim that their blend is Continue reading

Review — Golden Moon White Tea
Name: White Tea Brand: Golden Moon Type: White tea Form: Loose leaf Review: One simple tea, one simple review. White tea can be a controversial subject. Some people love it, some find it uninteresting. Traditional white tea, also known as silver needle, is made entirely from the fuzzy buds of the tea plant. While it Continue reading

Review — Stash Wuyi Coconut Mango
Name: Wuyi Coconut Mango Brand: Stash Type: Oolong, flavored Form: Paper-bagged tea Review: My tolerance for flavored oolongs is limited, even more so for bagged oolongs, but I admire the creativity of some tea companies. Stash took some Wuyi oolong dust and fannings, flavored it with coconut, mango orange peel and pineapple to create a Continue reading

Review — Stash’s Chocolate Hazelnut Decaf Tea
Name: Chocolate Hazelnut Decaf Tea Brand: Stash Tea Type: Black tea, decaffeinated, flavored Form: Paper-bagged tea Review: It’s 3:00pm at the office. You last ate about three hours ago, and you have a few more hours of work before you can leave. In the break room is a vending machine full of chocolaty snacks. Around Continue reading

Review — Stash Raspberry and White Decaf
Name: Raspberry & White Decaf Brand: Stash Tea Type: White tea, decaffeinated, flavored Form: Paper tea bags, individually wrapped in foil Review: Subtlety can be a good thing. Many flavored white teas are a joke. The “manufacturers” simply blend a cheap, flavorless white tea with a whole lot of artificial flavorings. The result is something Continue reading
