Everything has a reason, has its place, and has its well something. I think I’ve said this before and said it in these exact words in this universe or another. I can’t say for sure. But what I do know is it feels good to be noticed, and it feels good to be acknowledged, and […]
Just when I think Trader Joe’s has done it all. And just when I think Trader Joe’s has exhausted all of their tea options, or maybe I thought I exhausted all of their options, the gems just keep on coming. I love it and hope it never ends. TJ’s has been a big part […]
Isn’t it funny how you start reading or hearing about a topic, and then images, visual cues, or stories about that topic seem to become drawn to you? Well this happened to me this week with Matcha. I’m always willing to learn more about the different forms of tea, the health benefits, the origins […]
That doesn’t mean I’ve only been grateful for three visits on this journey. That would defeat the purpose of what’s happening here. Matcha Time Cafe is one of my favorite places to visit (Part 1 and 2 can be found here) anywhere. It’s more than just my love for Ellicott City, (even though that only enhances […]
I’m glad I discovered this now. But what took me so long to notice or even try Mochi ice cream. To be late to the party is ok, I did show up. I have friends that raved about this decadent dessert for a number of years (or so they told me), and it either never […]

The Spice & Tea Exchange continues their run of making amazing teas, limited time or not. I mean you’ve got to be kidding me. I mean we throw terms around a lot; calling things incredible, legendary, iconic, that we maybe shouldn’t. Where am I going with this? I don’t know. But I would say at […]
I write this on the verge of Spring, the verge of Iranian New Year (which coincides with the first day of spring, and depending on where you are, has already happened), and the verge of well I don’t know. I am of Iranian heritage by the way, yet was born here, but I just digressed. […]
Over the Summer, I made a trek to the Gulf Coast of Florida, and was mesmerized by the love for tea people have, and all the tea shoppes, markets, and displays all over the place. St. Petersburg in particular was so good to me. All my posts can be found from those captivating experiences can […]
