As John Lennon said -” life happens when you are busy making other plans”. Tea has always been part of my life and heritage, but it be- came an even greater aspect of my life when recovering from cancer. I took a tea course, which led to becoming a certi ed tea sommelier.
Part of the journey included my curiosity and interest in the history
of tea with its origin and the transition into the revival of the 21st centu- ry. As an adult, living with the stresses and speed of modern technology, the ritual of “taking time for yourself ” has moved to the forefront of my thoughts. Perhaps others who make the daily round in corporate towers are seeking the same kind of comfort and relaxation that I noticed as
a child. Maybe this is part of the reason why tea has become so enor- mously popular.
But even that popularity has le out many of, what I consider to be,
the most fascinating aspects of tea. the love of Tea Magazine brings you unique, never-before published stories, like tales of the Tea Salt Road traders with adventurer-tea master, Je Fuchs and Ashley Newport describes her trek in Nepal, fueled by Chai Tea. You’ll also nd origi- nal recipes using tea, such as Earl Grey tea, the old/new drink taking its share of the cocktail revival with the TEAmartini at the Pegu Club in New York City. Meet Chef Higgins who was chef in Buckingham Palace and shares his Royal a ernoon tea recipes. Who wouldn’t want to visit more tea places with this kind of panache and history?
the love of Tea Magazine came out of my adventures and longing for a magazine that would be informative, artsy, whimsical, joyful and most important of all—a magazine that I would love to read. Taking tea is a special time, a time to re ect, as well to connect with the inner & outer world. Enjoy it even more with the love of Tea Magazine
