Ahh, the sweet smell of college

My roommate tea and I are all settled in for a great final year of undergrad!

He's got bunk beds and everything, thanks to a great find: the tiered corner shelf!

A propos du blog

Why this blog?

Well, I'm a collector. I often keep the tags/sleeves/boxes for the tea I drink, but I have no idea what to do with them. E-collecting in the form of a blog will hopefully help me de-clutter! I also just plain love tea, and I want to write about it.

Why the reviews of cheap tea?

I don't have the kind of money to afford to be a snob about my tea. I think "getting a bargain" is part of the fun, so I like to find tea that is inexpensive but tastes great. Also, I am wary of dropping $8+ on a box of tea at the grocery store, etc just because the name/box looks intriguing. I have bought way to many gross teas that hang around my house for years because I hate throwing things away. I thought maybe there'd be some other people out there who'd be interested in knowing if tea A really does taste like pomegranate, or what the leaves look like inside tea B's tin.

Why the sketches?

I used to be really into drawing comics and this sometimes expresses itself in the desire to draw something silly. I also just like drawing cartoon versions of myself. You have to be somewhat narcissistic to have a blog anyway, I think ;) I have been told my face is highly expressive in real life as well. I've chosen to take that as a compliment.

Do you actually know anything about tea?

Hey, don't you tell me I don't know who I'm dating! Sure, I've read a few books, drank LOTS of tea... I make no claims to be an expert, but I know what I like. If you have tips, or cool ideas/facts to share, I'd love to hear them!

Why are these side-bar titles in French?

Blogger turned into French when I was studying abroad in Paris. I like French, so I'm leaving it like that. If you think that's pretentious, that's your problem. Learning languages is fun! And it could occasionally help you read tea packages. When buying Asian products, I've often found that the French directions are more specific!
