Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Time to start bringing out the shamrocks, green decorations, and traditional Irish recipes (Irish soda bread, anyone?), it’s St. Patrick’s Day once again! In the US, people wear green, go to pubs, attend parades, and make corned beef and cabbage. In Northern Ireland and Ireland, it’s an entirely different story. It’s a public holiday… Continue reading

Get Your “Green” on Tea-wise for St. Patrick’s Day!
As the saying goes, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. That’s the Romanized Gaul who was living in England on the west coast, was kidnapped as a boy by those wild Celts during a raid and brought back to Ireland to be a slave shepherd, then escaped his captors, made it back to his… Continue reading

Shamrocks and Tea
Shamrocks are associated with Ireland and so is tea. So, like the transitive property of equality (if a=b and b=c, then a=c), it is safe to conclude that shamrocks and tea just naturally go together.

St. Patrick’s Day Tea Time Goes Green!
St. Patrick’s Day is here again. Don some green apparel to symbolize the “Emerald Isle” called Ireland. Break out the green goodies like cupcakes covered with green icing and sugar cookies in the shape of shamrocks and adorned with green crystal sugar coloring.

Green Is for Good Luck
What better day to talk about all things green than on St Patrick’s Day! And while some will opt for pitchers of green beer tonight, I’ll be seeing green in pots of tea! If ever I was to find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, I’m sure it would be a… Continue reading

Luck of the Irish
This Wednesday is St. Patrick’s Day, that green-tinted day upon which all Americans have a bit of Irish blood in them no matter which continent their ancestors hailed from. Green beer will be poured out in copious quantities between now and then, but I propose a more civilized way to celebrate the occasion. A shamrock… Continue reading

Go Green (Tea) for St. Patty’s Day
Green shamrocks, green hair, green clothes, green hats, even rivers dyed green — um, I think I’ll stick with green tea this St. Patty’s Day. It’s healthy, it’s tasty, and it’s green! Repeat after me as we skip down the yellow brick road of teadom: flavonoids, polyphenols, and catechins — oh, my! These magical ingredients… Continue reading
