Note to Self
I want to write a short note as the editor of this site. I have now finished Seth Godin’s book, This Is Marketing, and then I read the extra material, I saw that I wrote “neophytes,” instead “neophiliacs.” As a (rational) egoist, I have some issues with the way Seth Godin is talking about selfishness […]
Tea Light(house) for Neophytes
May I (and Theo) be your lighthouse to the fascinating world of tea? (Talking about lights, do you use tea-lights for warming your teapot?) I am listening to Seth Godin’s latest book, This is Marketing: You Can’t Be Seen Until You Learn To See. (If you want to support my blogging, writing, and other types of content […]
When the Chips are Down
How do you feel when the chips are down? I am listening to the song, Under Pressure, trying to see the opportunities and finding solutions regarding my situation.

How Ya Goin (Yerba) Mate?
For the record: I am feeling a bit down (under), after the big book fair in Gothenburg, Sweden. I will continue with my long-range plan to publish seven books on tea, and one book (the eighth book) on alternatives to tea, e.g., yerba mate. Visa det här inlägget på Instagram Have you heard about […]
Where could You Grow Tea?
After I visited Sweden’s second tea plantation, I have been trying to figuring out where is the optimal place for growing tea. Kristine Yngfors has started her own tea brand, Greta’s Tea, and she has planted 30 tea plants in Gränna. She is mentioning Jane Pettigrew‘s book, Jane Pettigrew’s World of Tea: Discovering Producing Regions and their […]

Have you watched the television game show, The Price Is Right? I have set the price in a symbolic way, as a play on words (read: numbers), and a commemoration on what happened in 1773 (December 16). I am glad to read that at least one backer and reader, understands the true value of my […]
