Most of us who are involved with tea have a passion for all-things-tea. There are lots of blogs and websites about tea the beverage. A lot of people compare tea to coffee when it is more accurate to compare it to wine. (The reason for this involves another post).
Tea Party Girl loves tea, the beverage, and loves the tea party most of all. Meaning, the focus of this site is the hospitality of the traditional tea party, most often attributed to the English, while elevating the beverage, tea, to its proper status. (I continue to be amazed how many people plan the tea party without serving fabulous tea).
If you’re looking for more in-depth information about the beverage, tea, here’s a few sites I recommend:
With hope you find time this weekend for a spot of tea,

Greetings,
I just found this site courtesy of Phyll’s Adventures in Tea & Wine, and am rather glad that I did! I look forward to reading more. For all the writing about tea that we get up to, there’s not a great amount on English Tea (mainly concentrating on gongfucha), and it’s good to see the balance redressed!
Kind regards, and toodlepip,
Hobbes
Thank you for linking my blog on yours, TPG. I will kindly do the same soon. Hobbes, the above commentator, maintains an excellent site as well, The Half-Dipper.
(So Hobbes, when are we going to read about your Afternoon Tea exploits? I look forward to reading your tasting notes on the home-made scones)
Ah, there is no way to edit my own comment, I see. I tactlessly and ambiguosly said “…excellent site as well.” It was with the intent to praise your blog and his, TPG, and not mine. ::blush::
Greetings, and thank you for the link! I’ve added a return link to your blog, and I look forward to reading more of your musings. I love tea parties, and all things related to serving tea as well as drinking (I have a shamefully large selection of teaware due to my…uh…obsession), and I’m so glad you “found me”, so I could “find you” too, if that makes any sense. 🙂
Happy drinking!
Jamie
No problem, Phyll, its all good! Glad to connect with all of you~
Hobbes, I’m heading your way today.
