I'm not really new to tea, but I'm new to anything besides generic black and green tea in bags. I'm getting into loose leaf and I've pretty much fallen for tea hardcore.
Now about me in general. My name is Allison. I'm 23 and live in West Virginia. I'm going to college to be a Biology major. I'm bad at introductions.
So that's about it. It's nice to meet you all!

Thanks!
Yeah, I really want to try all of them I can. One thing I'm leery of though is Chai tea. I'm really sensitive to spices. I mean like mild salsa from the store will burn my mouth. If you've had any kind of it, do you think it's spicy or just spiced? I hope you get what I mean.

I guess it depends on what sort of chai you're talking about but spiced.
I enjoy a good Indian chai every so often and, to be honest, it just depends on what you put in it -- there are no hard and fast rules. I like black pepper in mine but many people don't, and prefer black to white cardamom, so you make it how you like it!

That makes sense, thanks! I guess I'll just have to try them all then. Or ask here first.
