7 Teas I’ve Tried Chilled
Awhile ago I tried a bunch of teas served cold just to see how they’d do. The results were less than predictable and rather uneven – ranging from “ugh, what is that?” to “wow, where have you been all my life?” I wanted to summarize of few here in case you want to run your Continue reading

Some Things I’ve Learned About Iced Tea
I don’t drink hot tea anymore. I wrote about it here, so I won’t cover it again except to say that it’s always iced tea season for me. But here in the northern hemisphere spring is in full swing and summer is approaching, and so one could safely say that it’s coming up on iced Continue reading

The Great Sweet Tea Controversy
I’ll admit it right up front. I’m not much of a fan of sweet tea. But that’s okay. The many fans of this syrupy variation on black tea don’t really need my approval. What I didn’t realize until recently is that there’s apparently something of a controversy brewing about this concoction that’s said to have Continue reading

On the Science of Sweetened Tea
I’ve never been particularly keen on sweetened tea. I don’t know if that puts me in the minority of tea drinkers but the fact is that there are plenty of people who do like their tea sweetened. Enough to apparently make it worthwhile to do a research study on the topic. Or a bunch Continue reading

From time to time some publication will weigh in on the worst iced teas in all of history – or something to that effect. Perhaps I exaggerate just a bit, but the fact remains that all iced tea is not created equal. You might even go so far as to say that many iced teas Continue reading

Historical Takes on Iced Tea
As I write this, we’re approaching the midpoint of summer, and if that’s not a prime time for iced tea drinking, I’m not sure what is. It’s hard to say with any certainty who might have been the first to come up with iced tea. But we here in America are enthusiastic fans of it Continue reading

Ice Tea or Iced Tea? – A Matter of Semantics
It occurred to me recently that I’ve seen the type of tea that we drink chilled referred to as both “ice tea” and “iced tea.” It’s not something I ever paid close attention to and I’m pretty sure that the latter spelling is the more popular but I thought it merited looking into a little Continue reading

On the Arnold Palmer & Tea
As we move past the first day of summer and the July 4th holiday and the temperatures continue to soar, it seems like a pretty good time for Arnold Palmer. Or should I say an Arnold Palmer? It’s probably safe to say that Palmer, one of the greatest golfers of them all, is looking at Continue reading

The Pros and Cons of Sun Tea
It’s kind of sunny here in my part of southern Arizona right now, so much so that grown men are weeping and the trees are bursting into flames. Perhaps I’m exaggerating just a bit, but what better time to revisit the topic of sun tea, something that was touched on several years ago, in these Continue reading

“Sweet Tea” Explained (Sort of)
Having lived in the Southeastern part of the U.S. for several years, I never quite managed to understand the phenomenon known as “sweet tea.” Now, after moving away, I think I finally get it. In short, it’s sort of a brown Kool-Aid, especially when made with the teas that have fruit flavors added to them. Continue reading
