Tea (to borrow a catchphrase) does a body good. While some marketers tend to place undue emphasis on just how much good tea can do us, there's compelling evidence nonetheless to show that it can benefit our health on a number of fronts. Here are some of the potential benefits we've examined thus far at the Twinings Tea Blog. 1. Heart Health ...

while in the past year i haven't drank a huge amount/variety of tea, i just noticed drinking 3 bottled teas (unsweetened) that they have different tastes...-not wow this is better than loose leaf- but changes in between them that i did not notice 1-1.5years ago when they all seemed the same (and i had tried hard to see a difference!). interesting... just...

For anyone who collects Sealed Foil Teabags of would like to just try Nine different Teas, this could be a good buy. Unusual as these Teabags come from St Peterburg Russia. https://www .auctionsworldwide,net /item.php?id00002567

They're both made by Unilever. SO what's the difference? They also cost the same. I personally think that the grain shapes are different, and that Taj Mahal has a brighter, less bitter taste.

I'm going to Tokyo to visit my son in a few weeks. Does anyone have any recommendations for both tea houses (to drink tea) and tea shops (to buy tea)? Thanks, Dean

Can anyone recommend some teahouses or areas? I was thinking of going to Maokong and taking the new gondola. Tieguanyin is grown there. I have also heard of Wisteria Tea House. Any other recommendations? I'm looking for tea as well as nicer quality guiwans and maybe an yixing pot (I already have too many!). I will also be in Kaohsiung but I've never found...

I usually make oolongs in a regular way, using a large 3-cup pot and 1-2 steeps, in fact, mostly just one steep, exactly like I prepare greens and whites. It's far more convenient for me because my kitchen is not very suitable for elaborate gong-fuing and even if I use an electric kettle the whole thing takes a long time, about an hour, give or take. When...

There are several factors that contribute to a good cup of tea, but this can be a moot point if you haven't gone to the trouble of storing your tea properly. Tea is a somewhat delicate product. There are many varieties that don't age well and a few that do, but any one will produce a better cup if you keep in mind a few basic rules for storage. There...

Hi all, I am not a knowledgeable sencha person and I know others on here are so I will ask you. I recently went to a local better-quality Asian store and bought a paper packet of sencha. The English on the stick-on label reads "Japanese green tea (Minamien sencha kanbai" Exported by Central Trading Co Ltd. and the URL on the front of the package which...

Who knew that the first modern commercial computer was developed by the Lyons tea shops? Note well, it was developed not just *for* Lyons, but *by* them: http :// www .nytimes,com /2008/06/29/technology/29caminer.html?ref=todayspaper /Lew --- Lew Perin / perin@acm.org http :// www .panix,com /~perin/babelcarp.html
