To change or not to change?

At first I bought from a few vendors, but quickly grew to try many many vendors at once. I’d buy things I’ve never had, teas that were rated good and stuff I know I’d like.

For awhile I thought I was slowing down and streamlining to purchasing from fewer vendors. But it seems these days I’m still going with trying new vendors, but coming back to favorites I’ve found along the way.

I also blog about tea and love trying new teas all the time, so trying out new teas/vendor is something I enjoy more than consistency, if that makes sense.

I like variety and trying new things, so I’ll definitely sample new vendors when I can.

I have a preference for tea shopping in person, where I can smell or sample teas before I buy, so I get a lot from my local shops. But I have been ordering online more, and buying from stash sales. It’s nice to have access to different things and also very nice to get stuff in the mail that isn’t bills.
