Bruce Richardson Named

Perfect Cup Columnist

for TeaTime Magazine

A quote from Barbara Cockerham, editor

"As we witness the continuing expansion of tea in the marketplace, I felt it important to provide TeaTime readers with an overview or guide for tea selection, with instructions to allow them to brew various teas properly. I knew that Bruce Richardson, with his broad knowledge of the tea market and the intricacies of proper handling of tea, would be my choice for authoring a column we call The Perfect Cup. I’m happy he agreed to share his expertise with our readers."

You can read Bruce's column in each edition, beginning with the July/August issue now available in our online store.  Bruce tells you about four essential black teas that should be in every cupboard. 

A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO TEA

Basic Black Is Always in Style

The tea family most consumed by western cultures is black tea. Black teas may be offered as single-estate, blended, or flavored teas. Just as a gentleman’s single-malt Scotch collection should include at least one example from the four main distilling regions of Scotland, his well-stocked tea cupboard should include at least four classic single estate black teas from the major growing regions of the world.
