Combining tradition and science to create natural and effective remedies.
Back in May Mister Tea and I realized we hadn’t yet made an Earl Grey Chai. This seemed odd, given his love of Earl Grey and my love of chai. Things got even stranger after I dug through the tea journals and the tea ideas files that hadn’t yet been Continue Reading →
I get tea ideas from a long list of places. One of the more common ones is people talking about food on Twitter. I’ll see a description and the flavour combination (or the bits of it that could be applied to tea) spark the thought of “I bet this would Continue Reading →
Twitter has been a fairly neat place for me, overall. Discovering the chronic illness community there was wonderful, stumbling into a corner of science twitter was glorious, book twitter is another happy place, pen and ink twitter tempts me sorely, crafting twitter keeps me engaged, and D&D twitter was the Continue Reading →
