Short Tea Prep Video
I think this one has more to do with the filmmaker brushing up on her skills with the camera than it is about tea, but here it is all the same.

Pretty epic stuff here, at almost ten minutes and starring the world's only tea-promoting sock monkey (that I'm aware of).

Japan’s Green Tea Wars
Japan’s Green Tea Wars
By William I. Lengeman III
If you know anything about the tea that’s produced in Japan, then you probably know that it’s primarily of the green variety. The varieties of green tea grown there run the gamut from so-so to some of the finest green teas you’re likely to get your hands on. One type of Japanese green tea that has been gaining in popularity lately is matcha, a powdered green tea that was once used primarily in the Japanese tea ceremony.
A matcha-related headline caught my attention recently, one that posed the odd question...

This is Your Brain On Tea
As the filmmaker notes, "This is a short animation i created to enter in the Calm-A-Sutra of Tea scholarship competition. The animation was done using final cut pro and motion. the objective of the film was to create something humorous and visually attractive that promoted tea."

Are Americans Abandoning Coffee for Tea?
Here's another article I recently wrote for The English Tea Store blog.
Are Americans Abandoning Coffee for Tea?
By William I. Lengeman III
If you’re a coffee drinker, don’t take this the wrong way, but I’d rather lick a sidewalk than drink a cup of coffee. I’ll probably always be a devout worshipper at the altar of tea. But even so, I can’t help but be a bit skeptical about the notion that seems to be cropping up lately that tea drinking here in these great United States will one day outstrip coffee drinking.
It’s an idea that popped up recently in the Los Angeles Times, in an article whose headline exclaimed, “In the Beverage Industry, it’s Definitely Tea’s Time.”

Making Tea With The the KS-001 Robo-Arm
If you've been waiting breathlessly for a game in which you get to simulate making tea with a robotic arm, the waiting is over, thanks to the good people at Sparkling Games. Here's what they have to say about Ampu-Tea.
Having recently recovered from a traumatic motorcycle accident in which you lost your arm, you are faced with the rehabilition process. The latest in modern technology, the KS-001 Robo-arm is capable of many delicate tasks - but you will need to learn to use it efficently. What better first task for the son of an Earl than to make a cup of tea for his father?

Top 10 Most Popular Tea Videos
Dogs, chimps, scary clowns and Star Trek's Captain Picard. What do they have in common? They all appear in the videos that have made their way into our top 10 list of most popular tea videos.

Here are the links to the videos, in order of popularity.

Britney Spears Tea Commercial
GG Tea is apparently from Japan, though there seems to be a distinct lack of actual information regarding the product. But if it's good enough for Britney Spears, who plugged it in a commercial some time back, then it's good enough for me. Ain't pop culture wunnerful?
