Stephen Teaviews.com Reviewer For as long as I can remember, I've been a tea fanatic. My earliest tea memories go back to early childhood. My mother first introduced me to it, I'm sure, because I don't remember my father ever being much of a tea-drinker. Of course, Mom had her own way of making tea. She'd brew a plain tea bag (Lipton, or, being of the thrifty sort, probably generic-brands) in a single cup and then she'd pour about a half-inch of so of orange juice into it. No milk, no sugar - just orange juice. This never... read more » » Read more about this reviewer on Stephen's profile page. » Find a list of recent posts by Stephen. |

Lea Teaviews.com Reviewer I'm Lea. I'm twenty two, was born in Ohio, and am currently residing in Alabama. I love vegan cooking, and (intelligent) survival horror movies, Asian culture, cats and, of course, tea. An ideal afternoon for me would be reading up on a Chinese empress with one of my cats curled in my lap, a steaming cup of tea beside me. My relationship with tea began when I was a child. My mom would make me a cup if I didnt feel well or couldn't sleep. A couple years later I was making it for myself, alway... read more » » Read more about this reviewer on Lea's profile page. » Find a list of recent posts by Lea. |

Shane Teaviews.com Reviewer Hi my name is Shane. I'm 18 years old, born, raised, and residing in Pennsylvania. I love science (more specifically of math, physics, space, etc.), playing and listening to music (I play mandolin and guitar), cult movies (such as Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas), spicy food, philosophy and the wonderful drink of tea. It's just never quite a perfect day until I can have at least one good cuppa tea. My journey with tea began quite early in my life and like just about ... read more » » Read more about this reviewer on Shane's profile page. » Find a list of recent posts by Shane. |

Cindy Teaviews.com Reviewer I am a working wife and mother in my 40's. I spent four years in the Navy in my younger days and never managed to become a coffee enthusiast as seems to be almost a prerequisite for military life! I have always enjoyed tea instead, with Bigelows Cinnamon Stick being an early favorite that I still enjoy on occasion. While I don't consider myself an expert, I enjoy reading on the subject of teas and in addition to the taste, I am intrigued by the many reported health benefits. I am constant... read more » » Read more about this reviewer on Cindy's profile page. » Find a list of recent posts by Cindy. |

David Teaviews.com Reviewer Hello, I'm David. I'm in my late forties, was born in Oklahoma, but have spent almost all of my life in Texas. When I'm not enjoying the company of my wife, twin daughters, and two dogs, I enjoy music of all kinds, outdoor activities (hiking, camping, and sailing when I have the opportunity), reading, watching sci-fi, chocolate, and, of course, tea. In fact, increasingly over the past few years, tea has become an essential part of my life, especially when accompanied by some equally good chocola... read more » » Read more about this reviewer on David's profile page. » Find a list of recent posts by David. |

Clay Teaviews.com Reviewer Hello, My name is Clay and I am 17 years old. I was born and raised in Canada. I am currently residing in Utah. My favorite thing in the world is tea. I drink about five to ten cups a day, but some of my other interests are Martial arts, Eastern Philosophy, as well as ancient Chinese and Japanese cultural studies, and of course the amazing drink that is tea! My self discovery involving tea started when I became interested in botany and plants. As I was looking around at different plants I ca... read more » » Read more about this reviewer on Clay's profile page. » Find a list of recent posts by Clay. |

James Teaviews.com Reviewer I am an attorney in Arlington, Texas. I drink at least two large cups of tea everyday. My first love for tea came from drinking my mother’s Lipton instant tea with sweet and low when I was a child. It was always best when it had been sitting for a while and the ice was melted. I dropped tea for a long term addiction to Dr. Pepper, but was reintroduced in early 2007. Oh, I tried hot tea from time to time, but it was always the common ones: Orange Spice or Chamomile.

Rebekah Teaviews.com Reviewer I'm Rebekah, and I don't remember not being a tea drinker. I grew up on sweet Southern iced tea, sweetened with Sweet-n-Low as a concession to my diabetic mother and brother. I first started drinking hot teas while visiting an aunt in my early pre-teen years, we would sip on herbal infusions while eating frozen grapes and watching television at night. While the herbal infusions that I tried then were not my favorite, they sparked my interest in exploring the realm of tea. I am now a die hard te... read more » » Read more about this reviewer on Rebekah's profile page. » Find a list of recent posts by Rebekah. |

Jeff Teaviews.com Reviewer My name is Jeff and I am a graduate student. I currently live just outside Boston, MA. My two favorite things are music and tea. Often I can be found playing banjo for hours on end along with my favorite tunes. I come from a long line of coffee drinkers but somehow I managed to buck that trend. I love to write as well. I've lived in the greater Boston area all my life but I may switch coasts sometime in the near future. When it came to tea, I came a bit late in the game.

Vanessa Teaviews.com Reviewer My name is Vanessa and I am a marine biologist. I am an animal lover (but not an extremist), and my 4 small dogs run my life. I am active in a min-pin rescue group that works to place abandoned min-pins into permanent homes. My other passions include music, triathlons, half-marathons, and any activity that involves me being in the ocean. I currently live just south of Miami.

Troy Teaviews.com Reviewer I'm a nerd of a high, and classic, degree and am fiercely proud of the fact. I'll gladly stand toe to toe with any modern "Geek" and blow them out of the water with my rather massive store of useless classic computing trivia, horticultural obsessions, historical datums, and bits and pieces of pop-culture float-some. I'm on rather good terms with my beagle, fond of nature hikes and plant walks, and obsessed with assorted iterations of the Super Mario Brothers (currently contemplating a Wii to... read more » » Read more about this reviewer on Troy's profile page. » Find a list of recent posts by Troy. |

Cap & Kettle Teaviews.com Reviewer Tea is a rather delicate subject, and rightly so, for it is also a delicate drink. Where soda satisfies the stripling, wine tickles the fancy of the well budgeted oenophile, beer occupies the serious brew monger, and water to the aesthetic and the athlete, tea is altogether itself. It belongs to nobody, yet almost everybody is beholden to tea. I am no exception, having recently been lassoed by the drink's fine charms after a stunning cup of Chinese black tea during an hour of unrest and panic... read more » » Read more about this reviewer on Cap & Kettle's profile page. » Find a list of recent posts by Cap & Kettle. |

Nicole Teaviews.com Reviewer I'm Nicole and I'm twenty six. I've lived in New Jersey for all of my life. In my day job I manage a pet boutique. My discovery of real tea is fairly recent. I enjoyed the standard Lipton black tea while having late night chats with my mother. When the time came for me to go away to college, I stated to branch out and try some the herbal teas in the grocery stores. Then I discovered flowering teas. That opened up the flood gates and now I have at least three cups of tea a day whenever I can... read more » » Read more about this reviewer on Nicole's profile page. » Find a list of recent posts by Nicole. |

Trent Teaviews.com Reviewer My name is Trent, and I’m a 16 year old from Santa Cruz, CA. I enjoy sports such as skiing, mountain biking, and skim-boarding. Photography is my foremost passion, so I often use my Skis and mountain bike to access more remote, and photogenic areas. I frequently bike deep into the Santa Cruz mountains and ski in the Tahoe backcountry. Additionally, I have always had an interest in gourmet food.

Casey Teaviews.com Reviewer My name is Casey and I'm a graduate student in Chinese literature. I've been really into tea since becoming addicted to Japanese sencha while studying in Japan. Since then I've experimented with a wide variety of teas, becoming partial especially to Taiwanese Oolongs, though plain, fragrant sencha remains my all-time favorite. I've also lived in mainland China, where I enjoyed a lot of flavored blacks as well as some excellent flower teas, such as rose and crysanthemum.

I grew up on the beautiful Monterey Bay, CA, where I first became passionate about all things culinary. Nowadays, I stick to tea.

Shelly Teaviews.com Reviewer My name is Shelly, and I live in northern Ohio. One of my main passions in life is tea. For as long as I can remember, tea has been a part of my daily life. While growing up, the sight of a sun tea jug sitting on our front porch brewing was common. On occasion, if the jug accidentally stayed out all night, we drank "moon tea" - the stronger, the better. However, I did not become a hard-core tea drinker until about five or six years ago.

Numi Teaviews.com Reviewer I'm in my late 30's, from Northern California and living in Utah. My perfect life would alternate between lying in a sunny spot with a warm drink and a bowl of semi-melted ice cream while reading and learning languages, or in airports between heart-stopping views. I remember getting into oolong-shot contests with my brother when I was around 12. After drinking a few pots each, it was lucky we were at an age where frequent bathroom breaks happened anyway.

DL Teaviews.com Reviewer Let's face it. We live a coffee country, a coffee culture. Here's proof: When was the last time you heard someone (who wasn't a tea lover) say, "Let's grab a tea"? No. It's always "let's grab a coffee" or, even worse, "let's grab some coffee." In this age of bean-over-leaf hegemony (at least regarding things you can't smoke), we are constantly bombarded by images glorifying the consumption of coffee in nearly every aspect of our lives, be it in T.V. commercials (Folgers, anyone?), doughnut stand... read more » » Read more about this reviewer on DL's profile page. » Find a list of recent posts by DL. |

Babette Teaviews.com Reviewer I grew up with tea every day. But, like most southern families, our tea was iced and pre-sweetened. Never hearing about anything beyond bagged Lipton, tea seemed ordinary while coffee sounded exotic and rare. And as a child, I was fascinated with the equipment of tea. My grandmother displayed a beautiful silver tea service in her dining room. But I don't remember it ever being used. It was a decoration. My mother had been given a set of porcelain teacups that were too fragile to use and were sto... read more » » Read more about this reviewer on Babette's profile page. » Find a list of recent posts by Babette. |

Clayton Teaviews.com Reviewer Hello, my name is Clayton. I live in the Michigan area, America's high-five. I am 23 years old and have always disliked poor quality teas. Although, I was not much of an active tea drinker until recently. The past 6 months to be exact. About six months ago I got a job at a tea store. I quickly became a 'tea purist,' only drinking unadulterated tea. However, having been raised in the south, I can most definitely enjoy some sweet tea, but more as a treat - and only occasionally.

Having grown up in the cold and snowy winters of upstate New York , I was always jealous of coffee drinkers who had something with which to warm themselves from the frigid temperatures. I tried tea, but until my mid twenties, I thought orange pekoe was the only tea that existed. It was and still is a tea that I don't much care for. I was eventually rescued at a hotel in Thailand .

Sophie Teaviews.com Reviewer I'm a teacher, artist and art therapist living in Montreal, Canada. I've been drinking tea since I was very little.
