The world of tea is vast indeed.
You could study, read, taste and explore for a lifetime, and still feel as though you had barely scratched the surface of this fascinating subject.
The tea blogging scene is a great source of information. Reading what other tea lovers are up to is a wonderful way to come across cool, interesting stuff, stuff you might otherwise have missed altogether.
When reading “Read ’em and Steep” lately I found out about a great tea podcast – Â “Talking Tea“.
If you class yourself as one of those tea aficionados for who tea is something above and beyond a tasty drink, then this podcast is probably for you.
Well worth a listen. Highly recommended.

Does it get to the level of cultivars and leaf-picking styles?

Not sure, to be honest.
I’m still working through the archives, and the ones I’ve listened to have concentrated on cultural aspects – learning about the Japanese tea ceremony in the States, the connections between tea and Zen or Daoism, that sort of thing…

Sounds very interesting! I’ll look into it, it’s added to the Tea List. 🙂

Also you can combine tea with almost anything else. I found a book in the library yesterday: Knitting and Tea, 25 Classic Knits and the Tea’s that Inspired Them. (!) Thank you for the links. I persevere with green tea but find I still need them flavoured with something else to really enjoy. Reading about green tea is very enjoyable though.

Knitting and tea? Cool!
There’s a “Silver Needle” joke in there somewhere I’m sure… 🙂
