"Tea with us became more than an idealisation of the form of drinking; it is a religion of the art of life." Kakuzo Okakura
A serious tea drinker since autumn 2006, I started this blog so I would bore my friends less with endless tea-talk and my boundless enthusiasm for a new oolong. I’m making mili-steps into the world of Chinese tea but I am hampered by an unrefined palate and London water. I’ll post reviews of teas, tea shops and tea room I visit, and the tea books I have on my shelf.
I turned on the pillow with a little moan, and at this juncture Jeeves entered with the vital oolong. I clutched at it like a drowning man at a straw hat Right Ho, Jeeves - P.G. Wodehouse

"Tea is drunk to forget the din of the world." Tien Yiheng
What is the Latin for tea? What! There is no Latin word for tea? Upon my soul, if I had know that I would have let the vulgar stuff alone. On Tea - Hilaire Belloc 1908
