Essencha was the first tea house I reviewed when I first started this blog back in 2009. Partly this is due to proximity, Essencha is 30 minutes from my front door. Partly it’s because I respect what Tracy was trying to do with her shop.

2011 World Tea Expo (Day 1)
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.

Colorado Tea Tour (Part 3)
Colorado Tea Tour
Last week I wrote my second installment, preceeded by the first installment in this three part series relating my experiences on a trip to Boulder and Denver back in March of 2010. This is the second of three parts.
There’s something intrinsically wondrous about the Denver and Boulder area in Colorado. The air is clean and clear. The wildlife diverse, and the nature beautiful in so many ways.
There’s another side to this metro area in the mountains though. An extreme diversity of tea and tea companies makes this area one of several real escapes for passionate tea drinkers in the US.
As a self-proclaimed avid tea drinker I have to say I was impressed by my trip.

Update: Redesign & The Project
I have pushed back today’s scheduled post on the “Tasting Notes” application for the iPhone and iPod Touch in order to bring you updates on a number of topics I’ve noted on earlier occasions.
Recap No. 1: World Tea Expo 2009
It’s been a week since the end of the World Tea Expo in Las Vegas and I’m still a little heady from the experience. Here’s a recap of my time at the Expo and my takeaway from the event.
Tea Room: The Cricket Lounge
I found this “tea-room” listed online. High hopes were set for this establishment as it’s located in one of the best hotels here in Cincinnati. Will The Cricket Lounge live up to its pedigree?
Teahouse: BonBonnerie
This busy little tea room & confectionery combo packs one heckuva punch! Quaint and out of the way, this cute little hole in the wall is a relaxing, if girly enclave of tea.
Teahouse: Essencha
Unlike most of the tea houses in Cincinnati Essencha celebrates tea as an approchable part of life which anyone can enjoy, as opposed to a more British styled High Tea which certainly has its own attraction.
