I didn’t realize how long it had been since my last blog post. It’s not like I haven’t been working. Since then Tea Geek has launched Tea Geek Memberships and done updates on the wiki (which, by the way, is now mostly members-only). Updated articles over the last 30 days include:
- Bai Mudan
- Yunnan (black tea)
- Caffeine in Tea
- Bailin Gongfu
- Jin Hou
- Yu Quansun
- Opium and Tea
- Glenburn Tea Estate
- Darjeeling
- Buddha Hand
- Dragonwell
- Pirates and Tea
- Tea Timeline
- Minbei
- Tie Guan Yin
- Buddhism and Tea
- Daoism and Tea
- East India Company
- Tea Quotations
- Yan Cha
- Varietals and Cultivars
- Shen Nong
- List of wulong teas
- Buddhist Tea
- Assam
- Sencha
Quite a few photos of tea exemplars have been uploaded, including a gallery of photos of different grades of pre-Qingming Dragonwell from this spring (gotta use the new camera for something, after all).
New technical books have been procured, with more on the way. There’s been a trip to Vancouver, BC, Canada where I did some tea and teaware research (though the trip was mostly for pleasure).
I also have a list of blog posts to write…it’s just a matter of sitting down and writing them.
By the way, if you want shorter-but-more-frequent tea related updates, you can follow me on Twitter (@michaeljcoffey). Oor become a fan at the Tea Geek group on Facebook for less frequent updates.
