An Introduction To Tea

Well first off, read this. It’ll probably help.

The idea behind this blog is to make tea interesting, to the extent that’s necessary. I got into tea by accident, really. I drank coffee like anyone else (ok, so I started at 6), I guess for years and gave it up years ago mostly because it seems to make me thirsty. I always drank tea in teabags because well, I didn’t know any better. 

As I began to frequent coffee shops, I’d pick loose leaf varieties but I didn’t know the actual difference (save for the visuals) between a white, black, green (or yellow) or oolong. Eventually I found myself drinking it more — mostly because I was spending increasing amounts of time in coffee shops — and trying different kinds each time I’d go out, just to see the differences. 

After a while, I would recommend teas to friends and stock it at my own apartment. It’s evolved into a staple drink for me and there are few days where I don’t have more than 4 or 5 glasses a tea a day. I don’t even have the taste for soda or juice nearly as much as before. 

So long story short, tea is fun. I want to share that with others and if it works, fun and if not, maybe I’ll keep learning along the way as a result. Let’s go on an adventure.
