Heytea guys! How are ya? Happy Ho Ho Ho and all that!
I know Christmas is almost here and everything, so I was just thinking that maybe some people are still trying to think about what to get that special someone that they just never know what to get, you know? I know, I’ve been there!
Well as I swirled a cinnamon stick around my steaming cup of Ginger Peach Tea (my very favorite kind of tea…at least for today, lol!) it occurred to me that i could totally help those people still trying to think of what last minute gift they should buy. And in case you couldn’t guess, it has to do with tea, of course!
Your more modern ways are strange and unusual to me, but I am a man that can adapt. I have not lived so long without understanding new steps in culture. I love my magnetized stick you call a compass. I use it often when hiking through the mountains in search of new crops of tea.
I have been looking at this screen for a while, hitting the letters to spell out “TEA” every few seconds, and it seems something new comes up every time. But this most recent movie that came up was entertaining, and so I have instructed my faithful servant Oolong to place it here so that you may see.
This young girl with her strange accent seems to know a lot about science and physics. I especially admire the way she doesn’t waste the precious tea leaves, instead freeing them from the tea bag so that they may expand much more easily in the teapot. This will make for a superior cup of tea later, I guarantee.
This young one, she is going places. I must extend an invitation to her so that she may visit my Tea Temple. She clearly has the gift.
Hey guys! I know we tea lovers like to talk about the perfect way to make tea, and how you should always use loose leaf tea, and all that jazz. Obviously, we are bigtime tea drinkers and want it to be perfect. And we want your cup of tea to be perfect too!
But the reality might be that you can’t always use loose leaf tea. That your supermarket doesn’t carry organic tea. That your tea infuser broke. Whatever the reason, sometimes you have to improvise. And we understand!
Hey you guys! As you know, I love tea. I love the smell of tea, the look of tea, and of course, I love the taste. Iced tea in the summer, hot tea in the winter, I’m never without a nice cup of tea, and a steaming teapot somewhere nearby. I’m a tea freak or something!
But hang on there—did you catch that I said I like the “look” of tea? Did you wonder that that meant? You should! Of course, I love the way tea leaves look before you throw them in the pot. They’re so…natural and crispy, and you can almost literally see how good they are for you! But I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about how much I love looking at them AFTER you’ve made your tea. In fact, I have started checking into telling fortunes based on looking at tea leaves. Cool, huh? Read full entry! »
Tea is a very important part of many of our lives. A black tea to start the day. Herbal tea in the evening to help relax. Hot tea in the winter, iced tea in the summer, tea with lemonade, tea after a meal—it’s more than just a beverage; it’s a way of life. For this reason I, the Earl of Grey, have deigned to impart unto you a bit of my own personal wisdom. Who knows tea better than I?
Brewing tea may seem simple to laypeople, but we royals know that the brewing the perfect pot of tea is more than a simple ritual—it is an art. Read full entry! »
