Tea Zone
Ti Kwan Yin


There are some days when other blogs like teamasters or Cha Dao really inspire me. I see them tasting 20 year old Pu'er or other teas that I've never heard of. They try out some really amazing stuff.

There are other days when teamasters and Cha Dao bring me down. I can't afford teas like that. Who wants to read my blog about stick teas, red teas, lipton, starbucks and other pap crap when they could be reading about 20 year pu'er?

Maybe I'm a little down because one certain company said they wanted to syndicate my blog and to go apply. Once I applied they decided I'm not quite the right thing for them. Maybe Celestial Seasonings doesn't make a proper tea? Yerba Mate and Red Tea don't even come from a tea plant, but I mention them all the same. Why ask me to apply if you were going to shoot me down?

Ah well, I'm not changing my blog. I review teas I can afford. Raising four kids on one income doesn't leave a lot leftover for 20 year old teas. I buy teas I enjoy. Maybe I'm not as far along as Cha Dao, but I'm where I want to be.

(Teamasters, Cha Dao -- if you read this let me apologize. You guys inspire me. I mention you just to show what great tea blogs are.)
