Every reading material provides different sorts of knowledge, so I'm sure that some books would have information on tessomancy.

For example, you may enjoy a cup of Earl Grey or English breakfast tea whilst you examine information about the history and customs of tea making from England to Japan.

Good reading and good tea go hand in hand, some might say.

Have you ever tried Vietnamese Green tea cake, a delicious, if oddly green, accompaniment to your reading session?

I haven't had it before; is it any good?

Just four years ago, in 2009, was when I enjoyed this cake, which unlike other tea cakes, was flavoured with green tea, and not raisins and sultanas.

Kind of reminds me of Amelia Bedelia's misinterpretation of 'tea cake'--except in this case she would have been right.

Lemon ginger, peppermint and even chamomile teas, all available in tea bags, would not seem so odd if used in cooking, however.

Maybe you could purchase all of these teas, and send them to me so that I can sample them.

"Noblesse oblige", I might say, if it wasn't for Australian postal legislation, and the likelihood that such teas and herbal infusions can be found readily at your local supermarket.

Oolong Tea has its origins in Taiwan and southeast China.

Phew, this is certainly tea overload.

Quarantine regulations in Australia not only affect the import and export of foodstuffs, such as tea, but also the transport of pets which we might prefer to discuss.

Right, but this is the internet and they haven't put words in quarantine yet.

Sorry, I thought the word 'quarantine' was a nifty way of suggesting 'pets' as an alternative topic to overdiscussed and overbrewed teabags and leaves.
