Bio

I’m a literature major in East Texas who only recently decided to get into tea! I have no idea why I waited so long, but I am diving headlong into it.

So far I’m beginning with herbal teas and flavored ones, because I’m not sure I’ve developed the delicate sense of taste needed for some of the quality green and white teas just yet. I’m buying up as many samples as I can from as many vendors to give myself a wide range of experience (not too much though – I realized that hoarding tea may not work out as well as hoarding books, since most tea isn’t so good about sitting on shelves for years and years).

Besides tea stuff, I’m an enormous lover of literature, particularly that from East Asia and Eastern Europe. I love surrealism in all it’s varieties, as well as unusual/strange books in general.

Ratings:
85-100: Ideally, would keep these in my cupboard at all times.
75-84: Would gladly drink all of what I have and likely buy more.
60-74: Not going to actively seek it out, but not against trying it again.
50-59: Will finish what I have, but likely won’t revisit.
Below 50: Can’t even finish the cup.

I’m probably not going to be using ratings under 50 much, since I read reviews extensively before buying and can /usually/ tell what I’ll like.
