This is definitely an important point. One of my favorite NYC tea spots sources tea from Taiwan. The owner always tries samples at home before deciding what to order because the water is very different. I am […]

I enjoyed this book when I read it last year but noticed a lot of the same issues that you mentioned. I also thought the print was weirdly small.

Tony’s book has definitely been a great reference source for me. I have the amazing ability to read just about anything cover to cover but this one wasn’t bad at all, especially as far as non-fiction goes 🙂

I love your shibobordashi! I’ve been wanting one for some time but I’m being picky since there isn’t really room for new teaware anyway. One day the perfect shibo will find its way home 🙂

Yay videos! Also, sneaky white tea. This post reminded me that I really do need to get to the samples I got from them at WTE.

I’m so glad that I inspired you to put together this list, though, I very much doubt the lovely title you bestowed on me. Just keep being you! That’s what your readers love the most 🙂

This post is a slightly unexpected but very welcome nugget of hope. Tea has definitely changed my world for the better. I think it can do the same for everyone else too.

2016 had some highs but also a lot of lows for me as well. I’m looking forward to putting that all behind me. Tea definitely helps though 🙂

OMG, Skippy looks so much better with eyes. He was much neglected on my shelves so I’m glad to see he’s getting some good tea 🙂

You are definitely one of those people I think of as a Super Mom. You do so much for your family but still find time to take care of yourself and follow your passions. It doesn’t matter how often you write or how […]

Oh man. That classic TGY was definitely one of the most memorable that I’ve had.

P.S. Zhen and Phil are awesome 🙂

Having spent my third expo following you around and getting introduced to people by you, I couldn’t disagree with you more! You, my friend, are a connector and that’s really what networking is all about. No one […]

I feel like this mug is my biggest WTE regret. I somehow completely missed their booth! It’s definitely added to the wish list.

Top Gun is Jason’s favorite movie of all time. When he was a kid he watched his VHS so much that the tape actually wore thin and snapped! I know without a doubt that you are capable of anything you set your mind […]

I love the idea of doing bullet proof matcha! This definitely makes me want to give it a try. Maybe on my next day off so that I can make sure I’ll actually be able to use all of that healthy fuel 🙂

I was super excited to get one of these too. The mug is fantastic. Looking forward to seeing what you think of Brioche. I tried a cup the other day and it was super tasty 🙂

I understand your feelings but I must say that the Teavana you describe is the company of the past. There is actually a big push for the higher quality unflavored teas (and there is more than just a few). Joy was […]
