Welcome to The Tea Smith Blog Community
Tea has been an integral part of many societies for over 5000 years, and is experiencing a wonderful resurgence in many areas, especially here in the U.S. where it has languished ever since it’s unfortunate involvement as an innocent bystander in the tiff between the colonists and England about taxation.
I, like many others, was woefully unaware of even the basics of tea in spite of the fact that my wife drank teas and tisanes for many years. Yes, she can point to this as another example of me not listening well!
It was only after I purchased some loose leaf tea as a gift for her that I really was awakened to the possibilities and pleasures of this plant and beverage. Since that time, we read, learned, drank, and eventually immersed ourselves in the world of tea.
If you are so inclined, we would like to hear your story about how tea came to be (or is coming to be) a part of your personal culture.
Among the many things I have come to discover about tea, is that the more I learn about tea, the more I realize that there are so many more opportunities to learn and enjoy!
This blog site is offered to those that have an interest in learning more about tea, as well as those that would like to share their opinions and knowledge with others. As it is offered to young and old, we ask that you be respectful of the opinions offered by others in this community.
