Bio
I’ve been into tea, at some level, since college with a first tin of loose tea brought back by my parents from Oxford. My love of tea increased with a visit to Boston and a chance cup at Tealuxe. Since then I’ve only gotten more interested in tea and have developed more of an appreciation for it.

(updated 12/2010)
100: a perfect cuppa. these are the teas I’ll keep in my cupboard and tend to be one per type of tea.
90-99: will definitely get more of this tea
80-89: likely to get more and perhaps it will become a favorite with time
70-79: very good, depending on my mood or the season
60-69: wouldn’t actively try to get this tea, but also wouldn’t avoid it in a tea shop or restaurant
50-59: run-of-the-mill tea for me
40-49: decent, would hit the spot in some moods, but probably wouldn’t purchase it for my cupboard
30-39: okay, will try again, maybe
20-29: meh. I’d try this tea again if no other were available
10-19: drinkable, but a forced cup
0-9: didn’t even finish the cup

Awwwwww. Beautiful name :) Welcome Leif!
Congratulations!
Congrats!! Kids are awesome gifts!
Welcome Leif! How wonderful! How are you feeling? C-sections aren’t fun, I had two…hope they gave you good drugs. :-)
What a cute name! Congratulations on your new baby and welcome to the World Leif!!
Enjoy e-v-e-r-y s-i-n-g-l-e m-i-n-u-t-e while he’s cuddly! You’ll blink twice and his voice will have changed and he’s swiping his dad’s razor. Blessings on your family!
Congratulations! Have a great time with him and welcome to the world, Leif!
Leif! That’s a very scandinavian name, that! Your heritage, spill. ;)
Congratulations on the addition to the family. _:D
Thanks so much, everyone!! @_Mogana_ doing a lot better than I thought I would be at this point! @Angrboda: Yes it is!! Half of my husband’s family comes from Norway, so the name is in recognition of that part of Leif’s heritage. :)
Awwwww! You made me cry! Enjoy him always. And what a nice husband to bring you tea! I have four and they are not so little anymore, but the two youngest are my most enthusiastic tea companions. (Ok, well, one of them is in it for the cookies!)
Welcome Baby Leif!
Thanks you guys!!
Congratulations Lauren! I had been wondering how you and the baby were doing, so I am so happy to see this note! Hope everything’s going well :)
