Greetings to my fellow tea drinkers!

[TheAlchemist]

Hello:
I recently stumbled across this forum and was overwhelmed by all the good conversation and information I found, and, figured I needed to become a part of this community!

About me: I have been a long time tea drinker, particularly pu-erh. About 5 months ago while meditating, I decided I need a career shift (currently a software engineer) to what I am really passionate about. I am currently in the early stages of opening a tea house in Portland, Oregon.

The focus will be around pu-erh tea and the traditional ceremonies around it. A goal is to bring a warm, healthy, and contemplative environment for local community members to gather and connect.

Namaste, Brian

Welcome Brian.

Nice to have you around, not so great that your new tea house won't be very handy for me in Scotland.

Best of luck

Ah perhaps not, but hopefully I'll have some useful knowledge and fruitful conversation to make up for it!

Welcome Brian,

Good luck to you. I would love to do the same but right now it is a distant dream. Still I do dream. I love the idea for your tea house and maybe sometime if I am visiting your neck of the woods I will stop by for a cup.

Sincerely,
Rachel

P.S. Please post info about your TeaHouse. When possible.
