I think I have been drinking flavored tea for over a week, today was no exception. While at work, running from one meeting to the next, I had a serious craving for a cup of tea, yet no time to fool around with the contraptions required to steep loose tea. Hence I found myself, earnestly [...]

Yes… it is cold, snowy, slippery, and dreary. Oh yeah, how could I forget? It’s winter and I’m already anticipating the transformation of winter into Summer. In an effort to make the dreary days of winter (as opposed to the dog days of summer) more palatable, I attempted to bring the warmth of summer indoors. [...]

Periodically, I like to add sweetener to my tea – typically only to black tea or even better southern style sweet tea. There was a time when I only used old faithful white sugar. Some would say that I graduated to honey. While honey is tasty I found the taste distorted the flavor of my [...]

There are times when my greatest desire is to drink a cup of tea without any added flavors, natural or otherwise. Simply wrapping my hands around a hot mug, allowing the aroma to tickle my nose and warm me through and through. That’s how I felt tonight as I sipped yet another cup of Hojicha. [...]

There is no better way to spend the end of a hectic week than to enjoy a whole day void of distractions, noise – including radio and television, and drama – the kids are out doing their own thing. As we speak, I am looking out my kitchen window into the backyard watching the leaves [...]
