In the begining

There is a story I heard when I was young that the Buddha ripped his eyelids off to stay awake, and threw them away. Where they landed tea bushes grew. Gruesome huh?..Well I'm sure we could spend a lot of time disputing the truth of this story, like that tea plants aren't really bushes they are trees that are pruned to grow short...but I digress. I encourage you to go out and try more tea! There is so much diversity in the types of tea and the terroir that shows through in them it is a very gratifying way to get stimulated. I'll Talk more about specific types later but from now consider looking at some of the tea links I have on the bottom of the blog. I've bought tea from both of theses stores and the quality is great. I've been very fortunate that every place I've moved to of recent has a great tea shop near by. If you have a chance stop by either they are more than happy to sit down and taste you through their fine products. These people are truly proud of the products they sell, and really want to help turn people on to all that tea has to offer which is a lot more than Lipton's and Earl Grey.
