About 4 years ago, I wanted to get really into coffee–I wanted to be a type A, class 1, certified coffee snob for real. So, I started drinking coffee and soon found that that much caffeine sends me into very bad anxiety spirals and attacks. It’s not even that I would drink that much coffee (I swear that one cup does me in unless I am exceptionally tired or don’t have to go outside my home). The next day, I started looking into tea as an alternative way to fulfill my snobby needs and never looked back.
I started out small by buying lots of bagged tea, determining first what flavors would suit my taste. Then I spread my wings and bought a tea ball and loose leaf tea and, for a long time, bought way too much of the same blends/flavors (mostly chai and any sort of chocolate flavored tea). Now, I want to expand my horizons a little more. This blog of mine is going to be a space where I document this process, talk about tea, and all the random things that interest me.
I want to dive deep into tea and venture outside of my comfort zone–in tea and hopefully in life!
Onwards and forward, always yours,
Simon
