  Name: Tangiers Lemon Flavored White Tea Brand: English Tea Store Type: White Tea, flavored Form: Loose leaf Review: I’ve long said that white peony tea and lemon are a natural pairing: While I love the fruitiness of unflavored white peony, a little kick of lemon is sometimes a welcome addition, adding a bit of tang […]

  Name: Organic Wild Blueberry Black Tea Brand: English Tea Store Type: Black tea, flavored Form: Loose leaf Review: Now this is the sort of flavored tea that I like: It doesn’t club me over the head with flavor, and I can still taste the tea. At the same time, it is unmistakably a “blueberry” tea: […]

- Why I Believe Lorraine October 4, 2010
  Outrage on Salon is nothing new. Even its most innoccuous articles attract trolls, haters, prigs, and the occasional psychotic. Clawed commenters do their best to leave their mark upon the author, particularly if she is a woman who admits to having had sex. (The circumstances of the sex don't seem to matter.) Knowing this, Lorraine Berry nonetheless […]
- Why Not Getting Naked (Sometimes) Matters May 14, 2010
  Ann Bauer's recent story about her covert escape from a marriage encounter weekend has inspired some pretty pointed comments. While some are predictably cruel and trollish, others ask this reasonable (and paraphrased) question: "Nobody was holding you against your will. So why did you feel the need to sneak out of the hotel in which the program was […]
- It's The Water April 30, 2010
  I've lived in Oregon for two weeks now, and things have gone better than I expected. I am getting to know people in the community, finding my way around town, becoming involved with civic projects, and developing a good work routine here at home. (I am also not the least bit homesick.) One of the most intriguing things about my sojourn thus far is that […]
- Slots and Dancing and Cannabis, Oh My! April 23, 2010
  Culture shock is often caused by little things. For example: When I visited Hawaii, I expected palm trees, sand, and coconuts. I did not expect roosters strutting around strip-mall parking lots, flattened frogs along the side of the road, or a Dairy Queen with oxtail soup on the menu. (Even the local McDonalds offered Portuguese sausages and guava juice at […]
- What Comes Around April 16, 2010
  I moved to Oregon today. I arrived with three suitcases. The rest of my stuff is either in storage or on its way via UPS. (It is good to be here.) There are no direct flights to Medford, so I had a short layover in San Francisco. It took me a few minutes of wandering about the terminal to remember the last time I had been there. (It had been two years, almo […]
