Merchant: Teavana
August 2nd, 2008
Its been a while but I can guarantee there will be at least one post a day for the next week so here’s the first of these.
I recently perused the latest release of an internet bookmarking site called Delicious and thought I’d do a search on my favourite subject of all: Tea.
Well the results were interesting. The great thing about these social bookmarks is that they show you what’s populate to people like you and me. They’re bookmarked and counted you see – so next to each mark you can see who else has bookmarked that site.
If you’re still none the wiser as to what I’m on about then take a look at Tea on Delicious.
Teavana
happened to be one of those that was bookmarked and you can see why. An interesting tea merchants site but offering lots of friendly and useful info to new tea drinkers – something I like to see in the tea world. Tea and its enjoyment is dying out due to coffee’s constant viral spread (Starbucks resembles Bird Flu!) and so its nice when a merchant or other tea site offers helpful advice to new tea drinkers.
I myself only got a taste for tea later in life and I put that down to a lack of guidance on the best way to brew and appreciate this fine elixir.

Ringtons Tea @ Work
July 29th, 2005
Well we had a fancy old car come around today and deliver a selection of fine teas to our office. It had a good variety as well as having bicuits and some coffee. You pay as you use by the little pay box on the side of the display. I immediately dived into the camomile and limeflower tea which cost a respectable £1 and after trying this and the English tea I have to say its bloody good tea! Very crisp fresh flavours. I look forward to making my way through numerous cups over next few weeks – they return in a fortnight to restock the cabinet and I may ask if they have some more varieties. I will be giving a thorough review of each individual tea after a few cups over a number of days as I like to get a feel for the tea. Tea is after all a state of mind and not merely a drink. What I can score on now is the service – polite, friendly and thoroughly pleasant.
