Tea – Other

For anything not in the other tea categories

  • Wild Tea, Mid-Atlantic Style

    As a native of Pennsylvania, writing this article for tea merchants who are headquartered in the same state, I’d like to be able to say that it’s a hotbed of tea production. But it’s not and it probably never has been. But I ran across an interesting story not so long ago about the time… Continue reading

  • A Mild Rant About $1,000 Tea

    At the risk of seeming a bit insensitive, I’m going to go out on limb here. I’m going to go so far as to say that, if someone can get you to part with $1,000 for a cup of tea, they deserve your money. Perhaps you’re not sensible enough to be carrying around such large… Continue reading

  • Teas of the World: Yellow Teas

    Our next stop in this virtual tea tour isn’t a place but a type of tea: yellow tea. It is often misunderstood, but there are at least three great yellow teas you owe it to yourself to try. I have been exploring some of them with surprisingly good results. Fellow writer on this blog Elise… Continue reading

  • Exploring Yellow Tea

    Featured in a recent article as one of the five teas I would like to explore more, yellow tea can pose a challenge, even for the most hardened tea hunter. It can just be really hard to get your hands on, and is a type of tea that most people, including many tea enthusiasts, have… Continue reading

  • Tea in Strange Places – Guatemala

    With all due respect to the good people of Guatemala I have to admit that I don’t know too much about their country, aside from the fact that it’s located in Central America and it’s well-known for its coffee. By some estimates, Latin America accounts for about two-thirds of all of the world’s coffee and… Continue reading

    If you are anything like me, there are always teas that you would like to try, or have sampled once or twice and have always meant to go back to. Here are five such teas that I would like to explore some more: 1 Yellow Tea – This is a more unusual type of tea, and… Continue reading

  • Why Teas Are “Broken”?

    “Broken tea”… amazingly, while I never encountered this term before I became an active tea geek, I used to think of tea itself as “broken tea” then, small flakes of something that faintly seems to be of natural origin, but no idea whatsoever, whether this was actually leaves once, or pieces of some wood or… Continue reading

  • Teas of the World: Nepalese Teas

    Never heard of teas from Nepal? Never heard of Nepal? Okay. I understand. They and the country they come from aren’t on everyone’s radar. All the more reason to shine a spotlight on them here. Topography and Teas Grown Between two tea growing giants (China and India) lies the country of Nepal. Nepal teas are… Continue reading

  • Spring Harvest – The Best Teas of the Year?

    When I originally proposed this topic, I had a plan what I would write about it. However, reality came my way in the meantime in the form of this year’s tea spring harvest season in north Thailand, which I was able to witness on site. So, I have decided instead to give a little account… Continue reading

  • East Frisian Tea Culture

    If you’re like me, you probably don’t know much about East Frisia. No disrespect to the good people who live there but, if it weren’t for tea, I probably wouldn’t know anything either. Even as I began to write this article, I realized that my knowledge of the region was hazy, to say the least.… Continue reading
