It seems that this place is just a spam haven lately but a few folks
might still poke about... in the past year or so I've begun selling
tea to cafes and shops and setting up charities in some of the poorer
tea-producing regions to give back to those that make such great tea
available to us. This isn't meant to add to the spam issue, but I had
dedicated a lot of my life and time to this place and thought I'd
share in case anyone had any interest.

My website is not completed yet but will be teasphereshop.com and I
have my tea list available online:

Tea list and prices:

Currently, I am working to sponsor some tea worker's children's
schooling in India and also setting up some additional charity/
donations in a few areas of China. More info will be coming soon once
the website is finished!

I hope everyone that might pass through here still is doing well. I'm
still happily sipping away, Huo Shan Huang Ya, heavy roasted Shui
Xian, Bi Lo Chun, Assam, and Japanese greens have remained my main
teas. So not much has changed there for me I do indulge in some
Long Jing Huang Pao every now and again, that crazy flavor has a grip
on me.

Basically the conversation in this group is me talking to myself. I
tried to do something about the spam coming from Google but got
lambasted by Usenet users who dont know anything how their client
software works. I know enough about tea to not sell it. The local
tea shoppe that opened up 7 years ago is still in business. I gave
them six months. So dont listen to me. Over the summer I came across
some Ginseng crusted oolong from a couple of different places in
town. They each have a different taste so that keeps me interested.
I like the sound of the pellets as they tinkle the glass. Ive been
known to drink someones idea of a tisane flavoring tea. A year ago I
would have laughed at that.

My blog will be getting updated soon I promise I have been busy for
sure, but I have so much cool stuff I want to get up there.

Actually, yes, the heavy roasted Shui Xian is a massive hit and I
honestly thought that the price would be a deterrent but it isn't. Bi
Lo Chun, decaf Chinese green tea, yellow tea, and Darjeeling/Assam do
well too. I do send out a lot of samples since many cafes and people
are hesitant to order since a lot of it is new to them, and funny
enough the Puerh gets a lot of great response.

Education is the biggest key that I've found so far, and the #1
culprit of terrible misinformation has been Teavana. I never liked
them, but I dislike them more now that I have heard so much wrong info
from folks all stemming from that one source. Once people understand
and taste the difference, they get it instantly.

Well, on the bright side there must be little argument (I hope)

The nice thing is that I have no pressure of "business" the biggest
goal is to really give back and help the people who make the tea I
have enjoyed for so long. I don't really have any plans at the moment
to turn it into anything else so it's a win-win for me... I get to
educate and share good quality tea AND directly impact lives in places
that really need it.

Hibiscus is the killer for me in tisanes, if it doesn't include that
or if it is something along the lines of the Indian herbal chais and
Ayurvedic teas then I am in for sure.
