Bio
A few years ago, the obsession with tea started. The cupboard got bigger and bigger, more swaps occurred, group buys, secret rendezvous with local teapassionistas… and that’s how you end up with 500+ different kinds of tea in your home. At one time.
Almost all of the tea was given away, sold, or otherwise shared. A few relics still remain. I now travel full time with only two carryon bags to my name. One quarter of those bags are tea.
It’s still a challenge to avoid the chipmunk-like hoarding of The Teas, yet, the lightness of being from having so little compels me more.
If I have enough, I’m happy to share. If I’m in your area, I’d love to swap, meet for tea, and explore together.
As for the day-to-day stuff, I’m focused almost entirely on Love, (yes, with a capital L), Spirit/Self, transformation, travel and my writing and speaking work.
What kinds of teas do I normally like?
YES: flavored teas, fruity, dessert, chai, and spicy (REALLY spicy).
A FONDNESS FOR: all white teas, malty black teas, any herbal or medicinal teas, strange/weird teas you can only get in one place.
ALLERGIC TO: strawberries, lavender
DISLIKES: any added sugars, grains, lapsang souchong, and overly floral teas – I might enjoy a Jasmine Green every once in a while, but unless it’s a creamy floral tea (think roses in a chai, or the smoothness of a floral note in a French tea), I’ll likely pass. Earl Greys are a hit or miss with me; heavy on the cream or fruit notes and I might like it, heavy on the blergamot and I definitely won’t.

be warned: sherlock is habit forming!
Love Sherlock! That sounds like a relaxing – and delicious – day. Have fun!
I’m about to go off to a Sherlock season 3 episode 1 viewing party! Welcome to the club :)
If you have the DVD, don’t miss the super camp/cheesy first version of the first episode. Wow. Epic overhaul.
i’d like to welcome you to Sherlock too! and it goes so exceptionally well with tea!!
I started watching Sherlock on the 31st and I was officially caught up last night. It is THAT addictive! I am glad you are also enjoying it :)
DH and I love Sherlock! The BBC one is so good, it’s sad that it’s only 3 episodes a year :(
Love that show! Did you see the new one?
Well, three episodes every 18 months, if the last one proves to repeat itself. I’ve watched all three episodes of the third series now. Loved them!
