Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by.
This creative space is dedicated to tea.
I mainly write about loose teas I already know or love and sometimes new ones I review.
This blog gives me a good excuse to do something else I love: photography.
I love taking pictures with natural light, and most of the posts I publish are illustrated by me.
Some of the content here will be related to tea in New York City from office tea drinking hacks, to tea container reviews or cultural tea events in the city. Enjoy!
