The Dark Side of the Cup
The Dark Side of the Cup is a campaign on Kickstarter seeking funding for a mockumentary film celebrating tea and it’s penchant for addicting those who consume it.
The film looks like an interesting project, and one I would love to see come to fruition.
There’s not much time left for the campaign though, so definitely get crackin’ if you’d like to help!
Some of the Kickstarter rewards are pretty humorous, like a limited edition teabag, or dunking a biscuit on your behalf (yes, the filmmakers are Brits).
Head on over and check out the Kickstarter Campaign.

Tea 201 – Origin – Where Tea is Grown
It would not be a proper lesson on tea without sitting down and discussing the origin of tea. Where is it grown? More importantly where can it grow?

Morning Cup #13 – Organic Chamomile
I’ve been so busy recently I’ve not had a chance to post my Morning Cups.
Today’s cup is an Organic Chamomile from Taylors of Harrogate.
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. Read more to learn more.
Check out my coverage of both Day 1 and Day 2 of the 2011 World Tea Expo.
Iced Earl Grey Pu-erh (Numi Tea)
It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed an iced tea. In the interim I’ve had a few I’ve liked and a few I haven’t. This iced Organic Earl Grey Pu-erh from Numi Tea provided a nice respite from the usual iced tea by offering up a pure iced tea. But to have a mass market iced pu-erh is something special altogether.
This is the fourth in a series of posts on Numi Teas’ new Pu-erh Iced Teas.
