Here’s a bit of a tease… After a bit of a lull, expect more. Or expect less. But expect something in the next few days
A post about chrysanthemum pu’er, in which Johnny encounters the supremely manly musk of this testosterone-laden tea. I am sick and tired of people decrying flowers as froo-froo, prettified, sissy-bait, or the like. When correctly viewed and ingested, flowery teas like this Chrysanthemum Pu’er brick can contain all of the necessary ingredients for the Exercise […]

I’m over tea pairing with food. Ho hum. All I hear some days is “Lord Devotea, what tea should I have with my Mars Bar foie gras?” Listen folks, we don’t have to be as dull as wine folk. Their product is just old grape juice. They need to oversell. “Please, please drink Chardonnay when […]

Lord Devotea’s List Week: List 3* Thomas Povey was a 17th century man about town that history seems to recall as titled, incompetent, rich and powerful, and not surprisingly, a British Member of Parliament. He seems to have done well under both Cromwell and the restored King Charles II, and he was on the spot […]

Lord Devotea’s List Week. List 1* At some point, someone has probably offered you proper loose leaf tea. And perhaps you don’t drink it. That’s OK- and this list is for you! When offered, you may have made a hugely offensive comment. After all, you don’t drink tea, you’ve probably got other character flaws including […]
For BOOK 1 of The Teabeer Trilogy, go HERE. Not too long ago in a public house relatively nearby… It began with an e-mail. I’m not even sure how I got on their list, but The Green Dragon sent me an e-mail at the beginning of the month about some of their Fall events. Part […]

It’s international Coffee Day. (It really is, look it up on Wikipedia if you doubt us.) It’s an important day. Over their lifetime, most people in Western countries will suffer from coffee at some time. It’s a debilitating condition, and as we swill the last of our Darjeeling FTGFOP1, it’s important that we put aside […]

I just had a guest post published on Tea health Studies. As part of the deal, I told them they should have all the Beasts do a post for them. Poor bastards. Here’s my rant: http://teahealthstudies.org/2013/08/22/guest-post-when-tea-meets-science/

I had a bit of thinking about where this post needed to go. Not on my tea blog, as even a master of tea placement like myself can’t pretend it’s about tea. In fact, tea will only turn up once within this story. I’ll mark it with an asterisk so you don’t miss it. Not […]
