Very interesting read Connor. I like the substance behind the research but I really like how it relates to what matters today and going forward; that people are continuing to look for experiences, not just existence.
I’m enjoying the journey, and every time I read your posts or journal, I think about how much more I’m going to enjoy tea (especially when you’re around) from now on.
There is always so much that we do not understand about a particular thing or for that matter a lot of things in general. In the case of tea, I believe the vast majority of us could lead pretty much total ignorance. So grateful to begin to understand that there is way more to tea than Lipton or even Earl Grey. So happy to learn more on this wonderful journey of yours.
I’ve worked in a few tea shops and got very happy when I even was gifted nice white tea while working at your Mom’s showroom in New York. Loose leaf is very crucial. At the same time, tea companies like Teavana used to operate, and then were bought and closed by Starbucks. Hard to say what leads the next big thing in loose leaf in America, but if you find it, I’m there.
I have had a cup of hot green tea every morning for the last 50 years. I switch it up every now and then, usually among different varieties of jasmine green. I had no idea of the nuances of tea and am delighted to be a willing student to your tutelage. I am hoping you will have teas to recommend that we can try at home. and BTW the graphics are great! Rock on!
This is so very similar to wine in the process however the effect on the body is very different indeed!
I was thinking the very same thing Beth!

Brilliant first entry, can’t wait for more!
Perfect timing as my New Year’s resolution is to drink more tea
You, sir, have me sat
