Tea and Math
Tea and math are not usually two items that go together in the same sentence. In fact, knowing how averse to math some folks are, I almost titled this article something like “tea by the numbers” or “counting on tea.” However, that would have driven away those averse to incredibly bad punnery.

Herbal Infusions Are Teas, Too!
Herbal infusions are teas, too. Now, I’m probably going to upset a lot of tea lovers for making this bold statement and in fact, if you’d have said “herbal infusions are teas” to me a couple of months ago, I’d have found it difficult to agree with you.

The Indispensability of Tea
What do naturalists and tea have in common? Well, ostensibly not much, but there is a connection. John Muir, a Scottish-American naturalist, once famously said, “throw a loaf of bread and a pound of tea in an old sack and jump over the back fence.” I couldn’t agree more.
