The Rolls Royce of Tea Gadgets?
I’d like to think I haven’t become too jaded about the wonderful world of tea gadgets. Even though I’ve run across a zillion or two of them in my time and even though I write a monthly column on the topic. Yes, a zillion or two might be a bit on the high side, but… Continue reading

College Dorm Teatime
College dorm rooms tend to be tiny, so it is important to make every inch of space count. Tea loving college students, particularly those who favor loose leaf teas, need to be smart about their teaware, as too many items leads to clutter. When selecting some items for a dorm room, it’s a good idea… Continue reading

Tea Station Interlopers
For those of us who live the “tea life,” one element is just as essential in our kitchen as a stove or a refrigerator: a tea station. As a true, diehard tea drinker, I have one prominently placed for easy access whenever the irresistible urge to indulge strikes (which is several times a day). “What’s… Continue reading

Teapots at 20 paces — march, turn, steep! Wait a minute. This isn’t a fair contest.

Tea-for-Two Sets
Just as tea-for-one sets provide a cozy tea moment, tea-for-two sets provide that coziness for you and a special someone. Thank goodness there are some really, really cute tea-for-two sets out there. Tea-for-two sets generally are a small teapot, two cups (or two mugs) and a matching tray to set them all on. They make… Continue reading

Tea-for-One Sets
We’ve all heard of tea-for-two, but sometimes your tea moment calls for solitude. Tea-for-one sets to the rescue! They are a visual representation of how separate pieces, useful on their own, can join together to make an even more useful whole. (There’s a moral in there somewhere, I think.) Like Russian Matrushkas, where each doll… Continue reading
