Ms. Janie's Collector's Studio
has designated a new section entitled (Miniatures) This section
has become very popular and I expect it to grow by leaps and bounds.
Mrs. Penny Blair recently
contacted me. She offered to share her knowledge and photos of
her miniature Tea Collection.
Penny and her husband should be congratulated for their efforts
in putting together one of the best collectible tea sets I have
ever seen!

Ken have spent many hours photographing and giving details about
their collection.
This collection is breathtaking,
one that I'm sure you will enjoy as much as I did.

grab a hot cup of tea, make yourself comfortable and enjoy the
show.
My special thanks goes out

efforts.,

History of Tea
Today, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world after
water. TenRen was founded in Taiwan in the early 1950's with the
goal of preserving and educating the art of Chinese tea. In the
United States tea has been experiencing tremendous growth. TenRen
has been operating in the United States and Canada since the early
1980s with the goal of introducing the art of Chinese tea to a
new audience. TenRen's Lu Yu Tea Institute in Taiwan was established
in 1970 with the goal of developing and refining Chinese tea culture.
The Lu Yu Tea Institue has been the leader in the research, systemization,
and development of tea equipment and tea brewing techniques. It
has helped to educate many in Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and elsewhere
in the proper methods and techniques of Chinese tea culture.
