Tea Room
Fetch your tea and join me and guests here for pleasures remotely connected with the mystery of mysticism to the history of tea. Inspiring miscellany — assorted pictures, accoutrements, music, British imperialism, ceremony, monastic diet, ditties, and so forth — turn up as topics.
Be my guest in the Tea Room by emailing me your questions. (I’m best on mysticism and art.)

Tea leaves: Tell me my fortune, I’ll tell you yours…
Brew: Leaves are ideas. Hot water is chatting and mulling. Now we have tea…
Tea history: The apocryphal first story about tea. Around 2737 B.C. the second emperor of China, Shen Nung, discovered tea when tea leaves blew into his cup of hot water. And so the story unfolds through time.
