It's all over

by disillusioned » Dec 24th, '08, 14:09

I have officially left Teavana, but my love for tea has never been stronger. Maybe Teavana did do something useful by inspiring me to find a site like this. On a side note I bought a couple of teas from Harney and Sons today. The Da Hong Pao and the Hot Cinnamon Spice both of which are excellent. Time to celebrate the freedom from evil corporations. Well at least until I turn on the tv....

Congratulations! :) I know how nice it is to be free of awful places like that. Maybe now you can seek out a real tea vendor to work for :)

Enjoy the new tea! Stick around, and I'm sure you'll find tons that you'll love. For yancha like Da Hong Pao try teacuppa.com, jingteashop.com, and houdeasianart.com - they have among the best. If you like cinnamon then try Tea Cuppa's Rou Gui, especially the 2005, which has a tremendous and natural cinnamon-like aroma without any added flavorings :)

DON'T turn on the TV!!! :D



What's more entertaining than watching the water steam and boil and the tea infuse building up anticipation... uninterrupted by a commercial trying to induce you to buy something....
