Japanese Tea Ceremony – Utensils
When it comes to a simple Japanese Tea Ceremony, it is anything but simple. Especially when it comes to the utensils.
Accessory: Tea Brewer Showdown
In the wake of the 2011 World Tea Expo I came across a series of accessories which make it simple to brew your tea. A couple of these have been around a few years, such as Adagio Teas’ ingenuiTEA. However, with new entrants to this area of tea making fun there’s a need for a product SHOOTOUT!
2011 World Tea Expo (Day 3)
This year’s World Tea Expo is my 3rd trip to this event. I’ve appreciated the opportunities to learn and meet new people each year. I’ve made friends and contacts from every corner of the world and every continent save for Antarctica. The events and sights from this first day of the expo are similar to those from the past two years. Full of energy, vibrant colors and effusive scents tantalizing for everyone here.

Tea Squeeze (Squeezmo)
Every not and again I run across some nifty little tea toy. In this case, I was at this year’s World Tea Expo. This little squeeze allows you to drain and strain your tea bags eliminating waste and prettying up your table.

We’re all looking for ever more convenience in our increasingly busy lives. Us tea drinkers can always use a more portable and quick method to brewing our teas on the go. The Tuffy Steeper from The Tea Spot solves one of those issues.

This book written by Chris Cason of Tavalon Tea for Adagio Teas before he started his own company is a wonderfully simple approach to tea providing a comfortable read for novice drinkers of our favorite imbibed beverage.
Accessory: Infuser Mug Showdown – WTE 2010
The 2010 World Tea Expo is over. In its wake I have much to report, and much to review.
In this installment I’m grading three infuser mugs. One of these, I’ve reviewed before. The others are made by Teas Etc. and Lucha.
Accessory: LibreTea Tea Glass (Libre)
I don’t know about you… but I love playing with new toys. They could be gadgets or widgets or software or a tea accessory. The LibreTea Glass ‘n Poly tea glass is nothing short of awesome!
