Teaser…

February 23, 2020 / / 2 Comments

You might remember (Or not, I won’t be offended) that I wrote things about tea in the French colonies. Just in case, here are the links:

I had completely forgotten this topic and while looking at online archives on maritime power and colonies, I found out new things on the topic of French Indochina (the former name from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia) and tea.

While expanding my research with some references I had found, I came on other older articles and newspapers dealing with this topic or let’s say with the topic of tea in the French colonies or potentially dealing with it and economical/sociological reasoning behind tea or no tea in certain areas.

Unfortunately, there is no way to do a quick search as these old newspapers were scanned but not really indexed. This means I have to go through all of them to see if and what is written and then to make something out of it. I still don’t know what the real scope of my next article (or articles) will be but you know the topic or at least part of it.

As they say on TV, stay tuned.

Don’t feed the trolls

June 30, 2019 / / 0 Comments

Don’t feed the trolls is a known motto of the Internet but sometimes I have to feed my inner troll. First because they don’t always look like those of the Hobbit and two because mine is a travelling one that is always looking for some data to bring back to me and to help me feed this blog.

On the Trollstigen road

This month it has been busy trying to figure out a way out of the maze to find what it was not looking for and it might have find it but too late (trolls and time are two alien concepts).

This means that you will have to wait a little to know what comes next on Teaconomics.

What is Teaconomics?

May 14, 2011 / / 0 Comments

This is indeed a good question and one that for now has no final or simple answer.

I plan to post things related to the history and economics of tea (hence the name), be them stories about tea trading now and then, tea production, info on tea companies (not on their products but more on what they do, how they do it…), book reviews and other crazy ideas I have in my mind.

I hope to turn this blog into something different while making it appealing and informative for all of you : in other words, I hope to bring some added value to you and to the wonderful world of tea.

I might be a little long between two updates but it takes time to read all the info I have and turn into something interesting for all of us.

Do not hesitate to comment and to try to influence me by giving me advices, info, book titles, thesis…
