Tea Tidbits

I've been accumulating a number of tea-related tidbits to share with you. Here goes:

1 - Tea Quotes: I've added several new tea quotes to my Serendipity Teas site - see the quote page. Enjoy! My current favorite is this: "There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea." - Bernard-Paul Heroux

2 - Cooking with Tea: Check out these incredible recipes from Is My Blog Burning?

• TasteTea roundup 1
• TasteTea roundup 2
• TasteTea roundup 3

(Thanks to Morning Coffee and Afternoon Tea and Teaswap for alerting us to these recipes!)

3 - For a Laugh: Read a Brit's review of the tea kettle situation in the US. http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com/ - Go to the right column and scroll down to the article under Your Feedback by Robert Landon. It's fun. Quite! I especially love the perspective on too-good water pressure and the "water splatter problem."

4 - Fashionable Tea: The fall edition of Town & Country Travel reports that London is experiencing an afternoon tea revival. Powerhouse restaurants are now packed all day long. One restaurant makes pastries inspired by the latest fashion collections.
