Hi, 30-something teacher. I have been a lover of tea since I was old enough to drink it (Red Rose Orange Pekoe with sugar and a lemon slice). My experience with tea has grown a little bit since then, and I stumbled on this site recently when I was looking for some tea reviews. Since then, I have become been mildly obsessed with all the information that has been posted here.

Hey there ! I am a early 30 something who has a love of all things steeped, brewed, and fermented. I only drink loose tea- totally for idiosyncratic reasons. I love me some sheng puer- though I am still a newb.

I tend to be a bit purist, but then on a different tea, totally fine with whatever blendy goodness is going on.

Well then! I’ve been on steepster for a few months now and it is great! I have loved drinking tea for years, though I’ve only gotten really into it in the past four years or so. My tea collection is overflowing, filling any spare room in my tiny dorm! I love all kinda of tea, with flavored black teas being my favorite. Lately high I’ve been leaving more towards greens but I love really any kind of tea! I love tea!

I have been on steepster for a while now; what began as a research project became a consuming passion/ rather obsessive in fact since it consumed my days. I do not work so this is good and yet not good because I need to be employed in order to pay my bills. Currently life is hellish and to be able to have a cup of tea is a haven for me.

This tea life made me neglectful of husband but I was neglectful prior as I was trying to find me and employment which does not seem ever possible.

My tea reviewing are tiresome with the counting and repeating over and over again; so now I am at a pause and will miss daily postings of teas I sample/drink. But I will not miss the annoyance when I log in from who posted or like my post; I find this annoying as it is communicating not so nice; in fact down right hurtful. But others do not see this; so I have this illness of seeing what is not there and missing real living. I mean life continues to be burdensome for me and I have no support and only abuse and the more I insist the worse it gets.

My husband who was at grocery store to purchase one of the teas I use repeatedly as sold only at this market but he did not see instead purchased another Bigelow Tea for me and this cost $3.99; usually they have it 2/$4.00. It is the count thing and anarchy 99 at play. It feels like others know your move/anticipate your move and control your move so very annoying as you continue to not have income or things; it is sabotage and my paranoia since I am not truthful.

So I will stop because of counting. I am sorry if not understood or believed.

This is one of the better tea sites that I belong too; ease of use is phenomenal and I thank you Jason Roos for this…just plainly thank you everyone!

I’m pretty new to steepster. I’ve been writing tea reviews for a while on my blog, but I didn’t know about steepster until recently (I’m really glad a friend of mine told me about it). I’ve written a few reviews on here, and I’m trying to get my cupboard updated, but it’s harder since I’m away from my apartment right now. I’m not exactly sure what to do after that. I’d love some suggestions!

Oh I should do this….
Hi, I’m not really.. new to Steepster but after lurking forever I finally made an account! I’m mostly a Loose Tea Leaf girl but if I’m out for a run I just throw a quick cup of Twinnings on and go about my day.

I’m mostly loyal to DAVIDsTEA but Twinnings is what I started on and will probably die one & I have a fondness for Murchie’s for making teas for the Queen & Canadian things.

I’ll pretty much try any tea but ones with strong Licorice Root I find make my stomach turn so I avoid them. Anyways, hope to have fun on here!
