Best Tea Kettles, Tea Coins and More
You really don’t need an electric tea kettle to make tea, but they are a handy gadget that can sure can make the process more convenient. The Wall Street Journal’s test kitchen (who knew?) recently took a look at several models from manufacturers like Breville, Cuisinart, Chef’s Choice, Bodum and more. The prices range from… Continue reading

Tea Experiment — “Mocha” Pu-erh
Trying some Young Pu-erh awhile back and then looking into various chocolate teas gave me an idea: chocolate pu-erh. Actually, considering the caffeine content which is close to a cuppa coffee, the beverage hubby and I concocted (after a bit of experimenting) is better called “mocha” pu-erh. There is a chocolate pu-erh or two on… Continue reading

Goldilocks and the Tea Cozies
Recently, I witnessed one of the best examples of persistence ever from a woman who makes one of the humblest products ever: a tea cozy. She likened it to the story of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” and I agree. It all started simply enough on Twitter. GinghamgrlVA would regularly tweet about the oh-so-cute tea… Continue reading

Cleaning Your Teapot
I was surprised to find that there are differing views on cleaning the insides of a tea pot. Largely the differing views stem from the various types of tea pots, more than from the people’s personal proclivities when it comes to cleanliness or hygiene. I find that by and large keeping your teapots and serving… Continue reading

A Stirring Tea Experience (or How a Teaspoon Got to Be a Teaspoon)
Teatime can be a stirring experience, with your teaspoon going round and round in the cup, making sure that your honey, lemon, sweetener, milk, etc., are well-blended with your tea. That simple act of stirring your tea has been a part of teatime for as long as there has been a teatime (European-style, that is).… Continue reading

Teawares Fit for a Queen (or at Least a Duchess)
You can have a truly “regal” teatime with some teawares that are fit for a Queen — well, maybe a Duchess (as in Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, who is rumored to have started this whole afternoon teatime business, for which hubby and I are quite grateful). Porcelain, bone china, silver, and glass teawares… Continue reading

“Spooky” Teawares
Nothing says Halloween like a spooky teatime, and nothing makes teatime spooky like “spooky” teawares. Of course, creepy decorations and eerie music help out a bit, too. The imagination of various pottery artists out there never ceases to amaze. Give them a holiday or other event to focus their creative energies on, and you never… Continue reading

No one who visits our house could ever doubt that we love tea! The signs are everywhere you look. First, in the firm belief that two mugs are not enough for the two of us and in celebration of the seemingly endless creativity that abounds out there among mug makers, we exchange our hard-earned cash… Continue reading

Keep Your Tea Cozy
How frustrating to steep up a pot of tea for family and friends only to have it grow cold as you share good food and conversation. Tea cozies to the rescue! “Cozy” (also spelled “cosy”) is defined in The American Heritage® Dictionary as “snug, comfortable, and warm.” Sounds very appropriate for these keepers of the… Continue reading
