  • Hang in There, Spring is Coming

    As I write this, the northeastern region of the United States has just finished being assaulted by one of those “storm of the century” type events. It’s called Nemo (did we just start naming winter storms or haven’t I been paying attention?) and it made life rather trying in that part of the world for… Continue reading

  • Giggling and Pouring Tea Don’t Mix

    Lots of things go with tea. Things like scones, fruits, chocolates, cheeses, and (as a woman in Scotland put it) “neeps, tatties, and haggis.” And things like reading books, watching movies, chatting with friends, even doing laundry. On the other hand, a lot of things definitely do not go with tea, such as driving the… Continue reading

  • Tea from Coffee?

    “For those who find ‘tea or coffee’ a question too far first thing in the morning, relief may soon be on hand—a combination of both.” …Er…what? Despite indications to the contrary, this is not some weird half coffee, half tea beverage (thankfully, because that sounds thoroughly unappetizing). Rather, the writer of this article is referring… Continue reading

  • Tea and the La-Z-boy

    Back in the days before I began taking tea enjoyment more seriously (in fact, it was also a few years before I met hubby dearest), I had quite an adventure with a piece of upholstered furniture. Don’t worry — this is strictly G-rated. And you can fix yourself a nice cuppa hot tea to enjoy… Continue reading

  • 5 Things I Wish I’d Known About Tea

    One does not spring fully formed into this world knowing everything there is to know about tea. It would be nice, but it doesn’t work that way. In my own case I was more than four decades along before I even started drinking the stuff. Then it was quite a few years before I started… Continue reading

  • The Ultimate Tea Crime

    When it comes to tea, I have tried (for the most part) to practice tolerance. I won’t say I’ve always succeeded, but over the years I’ve come to realize that the world of tea is vast and there are many types of tea drinkers contained therein, each with their own way of doing things. So,… Continue reading

  • ComplexiTEA

    Life gets more complex every day and so, it seems, does tea! No need to panic, though, it’s easy to sort out those complexiTEAs. Dad used to fix TVs and radios on the kitchen table. Then, they got too complicated. Tubes were replaced by transistors and complex circuit boards. He also used to work on… Continue reading

  • The Tea Princess Travels Again

    This Tea Princess and her Tea Hubby took a short trip recently. Just a one night stay-over to visit a new town and check out the local tea scene, which was said to be “really steeping.” And this meant a night in a motel and facing the … take a deep breath … motel room… Continue reading

  • Even More Bumper Stickers for Tea Drinkers

    The other day someone posted an image on Facebook that said “Can’t we all get Oolong?” Well, that made me laugh, so I shared it, and it made other people laugh, so they ‘liked’ it and shared it, also. It reminded me, too, of a couple articles I did on some tea-themed bumper sticker ideas.… Continue reading

  • Tea and Snow

    Tea and snow are natural go-togethers. But there’s snow and then there’s snow. Time to steep up a steaming pot of tea and contemplate just what the heck that means. Social media is such fun and reveals a bit about life in other locations. For example, an area gets a half inch snowfall and is… Continue reading
