TeaMap TeaRoom Directory

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

Since the beginning of the year, myself and several others out there, have been on a Tea kick. I came across this site and thought I’d post the link. The site, TeaMap.com, is a Tea Room locator. Simply put in your zip code and a list of Tea Rooms appear at your finger tips. Not only does it locate tea rooms, it provides tips, local tea events, tea chat and the tea chef.

I’m not sure if Tea Rooms will pick up the same popularity as coffee shops, but you may be surprised at the number of Tea Rooms already in your area. I was. Enjoy and have a spot of tea.

Interesting lingo

Here are a few words I’ve heard this week that I’ve never heard before:

  • codswallop
  • ginglyform
  • nubbing-cheat
  • pettifogging

Somehow I knew carrying that journal around would pay off. Came in handy when I overheard a conversation with people using some of these words. Have you heard any strange words recently?
