Japanese Style Green Tea . . . From Australia
Australian Tea Week, Day 3: “Japanese Style Green Tea . . . From Australia” I received the subject of today’s blog from this fingergun-toting, doughnut-destroying badass. This is Naomi Rosen; no, she’s not Australian. But she could certainly pass for one. She’s the purveyor of Joy’s Teaspoon. Aside from selling some really good teas, she could also…

Niu-Gu, FaceTubes, and Matcha Wrestling
A month ago, during a tea-‘n-matcha-fueled dinner pairing, a university educator asked me this: “What do you do?” “I’m just a tea blogger,” I replied. She sort of tilted her head, confusedly—like a Saint Bernard. Then asked, “Why?” The follow-up question caught me off-guard. I was both hurt and offended by it. Not because she…

Tea-Fueled Las Vegas Tourism
I needed a vacation. And I needed it as soon as possible. That was probably why—when I planned it—I decided to leave for Las Vegas four days earlier than I really needed to. The original intent was to go down just for the days of World Tea Expo. Well, I decided to tack on a few…

The Infusiast’s Book Launch and a Meeting of Beasts – A Vegas Tea Party, Day 1
Brace yourself, this is a three-parter. Maybe four. Depends on if I get the information all organized. Liking herding cats, it is. Kittens, actually. Hyper ones. First and foremost, I need to get a few acknowledgements out of the way. Planning for this World Tea Expo trip has been nothing short of murder. Four fantastic…

Flavored of the Week
I love Sundays. It’s usually my day off from the perpetual work grind, and – by some de facto decision – my DRINK TEA ALL DAY!…uh…day. By happenstance, it is also the day when Michael “Tea Geek” Coffey hosts his weekly Google+ Hangout dubbed “Tea Salon”. The hour-long online discussion is often the highlight of…
