Tea Review: Coconut Creme Tea
Coconut Creme Tea from Persimmon Tree I have a
passion for anything tropical, from palm trees to ukulele music.
It's a well-known fact that Madam Potts lives on a tropical
island in her own mind. So when I was asked to review this
tea, I queued up the Arthur… Read full post »

That's Some Bloody Good Tea!
As many of my readers know, I love blending tea for musicians and
bands because the added inspiration that comes along with the music
adds a level to the blending process. I also love that when
the final product has been created that you can Hear AND Taste the
music.

Haiku Tea Ware: Best Gift Ever
Over 3 years ago I stumbled across a unique
tea ware idea in the form of Haiku Tea Cups. I immediately blogged
about it because I wanted one so bad (and I’m
still hoping she will expand to tea pots!) Each cup comes with a
haiku which you can write yourself/… Read full post »

Where's the Party at?
After what has seemed like an eternity, it is time to pick up the
proverbial pen and begin writing once again.
The year prior (affectionately known as 2010) brought with it a marathon of articles and blog posts like never before. I was fortunate enough to be writing for/…

Geisha Tea Cup
One of the things I love doing (when I'm not blending tea) is
rummaging through junk-tique stores, eyeing the vintage serving
pieces and wishing my life included more dinner parties. But
seeing as I don't even own a dining room, this remains as a
fanciful daydream. But that never stops me…

Spotlight: Libre Tea Travel Thermos
As many a tea drinker knows, steeping and
enjoying a proper cup of tea on-the-go is often a
challenge. Keeping the tea hot, without burning
your hands, allowing the tea leaves to properly unfurl for a proper
steep and also keeping the tea leaves separate to avoid
over-steeping and how/… Read full post »

There is a lot to be said for Valentine’s Day -
a day that the collective conscious of the world will focus on

Product Review: It’s Moringa
It’s Moringa is an

these are pretty random ramblings of a tea enthusiast. In the

one day left of 2010...
I'd like to thank my readers for supporting another year of my

taken a moment to recall some of the things that happened this past
year within this wonderful world of tea.

Who doesn't love Bacon (tea, that is....)
In the very beginning of the month, I featured a small yet unique
