It's interesting. TeaVivre still doesn't work for me. I've tried 4 different browsers; Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, and Firefox. Firefox gives me this message: The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Opera tells me to conta...

Not an entire falling-out, but some warning words from longtime pu'er personality shah8: Some general thing I'd like to say to an audience. First, while puerh has virtues worth pursuing and drinking, the puerh industry is a scam. The idea of it's primary purpose is to encourage people to overconsume...

Maybe they forgot to renew something? Supposedly they registered teavivre.com January 29, 2011, so today is exactly 10 years and two months since then. Have you tried it again?

Wow interesting how some mass tea companies like Davids teas sell their own sugar https://www.davidstea.com/us_en/tea/rock-sugar-jar/990924US01VAR0044623.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjw9YWDBhDyARIsADt6sGY2rP9Yoav6ollz4-jVySChtjRtyzIUEj_OR6DSz8zN3Osyw_th6g4aAiloEALw_wcB It's interesting that they have mixed sev...

Island nations tend to have a more centralized sugar production process due to being islands, although here again there is no guarantee that everything is happening in the same place. Usually the big pressure is that because of limited space there is limited economy of scale on many of the islands a...

Apparently this was a Taiwanese teahouse that pressed custom cakes run by Huang Chuanfang. According to an old post by MarshalN it was (either formally or informally) connected to Wushing Books (publisher of Puerh Teapot magazine), as when they had some sort of publicity event it was here. However, ...

I think with sugar the best thing is to start at the end in the teacup and work backwards, because the sugar industry can be confusing when starting from the start. For example, here is a map of the sugar industry in the United States, from the lobbyist group The Sugarcane League. Florida, Louisiana...

Certain styles of tea expect sugar, so I thought a thread on sugar might be nice. One of the biggest improvements for me was realizing that sugar absorbs flavors and aromas the same way that tea does, so removing the sugar from paper packaging and getting it into something else as soon as possible h...

It could also be that the descriptions of few steepings simply weren't actually representative of the whole gongfucha, during those times. Maybe some were brewing few steepings, and some many. Maybe more affluent members of society would choose to only drink the first three steeps, while others wou...

I noticed that the folks who know about Yixing seem to be getting annoyed in the Yixing thread about people asking for pot identification, so thought maybe a thread on this might help for folks who don't live anywhere where they will see a lot of Yixing pots. Collecting Yixing isn't really my thing,...

A targeted ad from Snapple in 1993: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c_rFq1L-tk This series of Snapple ads played a big part in turning Americans into bottled tea drinkers; before the early 1990s, tea was still mostly either drunk in teabag or instant form. Sadly I don't know much about the details ...

./download/file.php?id=8174 I've been to that shop and remember thinking how this was such a lost opportunity, having a beautiful, historic shop, but filling it with what was no better than shopping mall shelves and inventory... I think part of this is a different approach to tea marketing between ...

I believe he retired as Mr. Twining in 2004 or 2005, around the same time that Twinings closed their Greensboro, North Carolina plant: https://greensboro.com/twinings-to-close-lay-off-85-the-plant-in-southern-greensboro-made-550-million-tea/article_e87b6861-2f07-5974-b321-354ba64826ea.html By then, ...

Then there are individuals who do this style of tea for themselves and their friends and family; a popular style is garden tea out in the yard. Here is a blogger who whipped up a setting for tea-breaks while doing yard work: https://twocottagesandtea.blogspot.com/2016/11/tea-in-garden-for-november....
