). I love tea, I enjoyed my time in the business--so much so that I am contemplating yet one more venture into it. For this reason, I thought I'd start hanging at some of my old haunts; when I was waist-deep in the business, TeaChat was a reliable spot for research, knowledge and community. Before I become the living definition of crazy--that is, doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results--I thought it would be prudent to once again immerse myself in the preferences and general wisdom of this community of committed tea aficionados. During the time that I was active in the business, I was a big fan of Adagio--their quality products and their exemplary service. That I could find TeaChat and TeaMap on their site as well was just the clotted cream on the scone (so to speak

And I confess: I am more of a lurker than a poster. But I do have some questions steeping, so perhaps I will become more comfortable stepping into the fray this time around.
Thanks for the opportunity to share some of my tea saga, and please know that I am reading with great interest the stories of your journeys, discoveries and revelations in the world of tea as well.
