Hi! I've been lurking for quite some time and finally decided to post. I'm from NJ but currently go to school in NY.
So the story of my tealife->
Although I've been drinking tea ever since I can remember, I really fell in love with tea last year when I traveled to Tanzania. Everyone drinks tea there, and I learned how to pick ingredients at a healer's garden and brew the tisane! I still remember that moment.
I've been sampling all sorts of loose leaf teas and herbals and boy is my tea cabinet growing! It might be getting a little out of control. Right now I'm loving greens. This seems like such a great community and I hope I can somehow contribute and learn more about the many ways of tea! There is so much to know!

Hope you all are having a great day

A growing tea cabinet means just one thing, you need to drink more tea!

Hi charizzi! I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of greens and other teas... and what you've got in that tea cabinet
