Bio
I generally drink Chinese teas.
I love things that are interesting, that force me to stop and think about and enjoy what I’m experiencing. Even better are those teas you just have to drink with a friend so that the outpouring of tastes and memories find a sounding board in a trusted companion.
I’m into tea as an experience rather than just a thirst quenching beverage. I love to learn- there’s so much to learn about tea.
I also prefer my teas to be exceedingly delicious, if at all possible. Luckily, I have great tea friends and teachers that can hook me up with the good stuff.
Something I’ve noticed about my ratings:
I tend to use Steepster more like Yelp and less like Twitter. I’ll generally only review a tea once in its life (though that review and rating might be edited over time to reflect changes in my own understanding of it).
I do not generally log each tea I’m drinking as I drink, since that feels like a distraction- I’d rather just drink the tea!
I tend to only review teas I really love or that I really did not enjoy. If it falls somewhere in the middle of “meh” and “that was pretty good, I suppose,” then I won’t be compelled to sit down and spend time giving a nice, fleshed out review and rating.
As such, it might seem like I give out high scores willy-nilly. Instead, I’m doing my first round of rating mentally off-site, and presenting only the teas I really want to share with everyone.

Yummeh!!
Must try this!
I’m so happy we decided to make this one. It’s so good! I think I’m on my sixth or seventh glass so far today….. At this rate, we’ll be through the gallon by the end of the day, ready to cold-brew the leaves again.
I loved this tea. Mine was a sample but as soon I’m ready to order again it will be on my list!
