We think there's no better way to end a big meal or even a simple gathering of friends than with a nice warm cup of coffee! Not only is it exactly what we want after eating a lot of rich food, but it'...
Celestial Seasonings is a brand that looms large in our most nostalgic childhood memories. We grew up with Celestial Seasoning herbal teas, sipped with lots of milk and honey. Well, Celestial Seasonin...
We love to finish an evening meal with a pot of ginger tea, masala chai, or a tisane of herbs or lemongrass. Our favorite teapot for the last sort of tea is a glass teapot: we like the visible motio...
This time of year, you will generally find us with our hands wrapped around a mug of tea. But we've been drinking a lot of loose-leaf teas lately, and we've not been entirely satisfied with our option...
It started with an innocent impulse buy several years ago in a cheese shop in San Francisco. A square cardboard box with a lady in an orange sari on the cover and the intriguing promise of unique, tr...
Many years ago I was invited to a friend's house for tea. His father is Indian, his mother is French, and my friend was born in England, so their house was this great multicultural mix of traditions....
Green tea is famous for its antioxidant properties and purported health benefits. For thousands of years it's been believed to cure everything from cancer to headaches. We like a good cup of hot, frag...
Between the shifting daylight hours and a few intense work projects, we've been suffering a series of sleepless nights lately. When it's heading into the wee hours and we're wide awake, sometimes it h...
We started cold-brewing our iced tea after hearing about the method on a recent episode of the Splendid Table, and we've got to tell you, it's been the best discovery ever! The tea is so smooth and ta...
We've mentioned how much we enjoy an herbal tisane on a summer evening, and we grow specific herbs just for this purpose. Sunset enjoys tisanes, too, and they have an article up right now with five re...
Even summer evenings can be breezy and cool, and some nights we want a warm drink that is still refreshing. The perfect choice is an herbal tisane, especially one made with lemony summer herbs: lemon ...

Do you drink kombucha? It's a fizzy, sour, fermented tea that has a huge and active cult following. Drinking the probiotic-laden brew purportedly brings all sorts of health benefits: increased energy,...
We've been drinking chai all winter and now that it seems like spring is here to stay (knock on wood), we feel ready for a change. We picked up a sampler of orchid oolong tea the other day, and alread...

We don't usually review packaged snack products and sweets, but here's one exception we had to make. Tim Tam cookies are now available in the United States, and this is really more of a cultural event...
