My mom and grandmother both drank\/drink tea on an everyday basis. Mostly herbal teas. My mom also made hair rinses for me from camomille tea when I was younger.<\/p>\n<p>Love: Probably when I was around 16, and went to the UK by myself for the first time. Became addicted to milk tea. After that, I went through a dangerous green tea phase with my love for Japan, and thus, cheap matcha blends. Ahem. Don&#8217;t imitate that, kids. Start with the good stuff!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) What was the very first tea blend that you ever tried?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That must have been some herbal tea blend, coming from my loving hippie mom. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) When did you start your tea blog &amp; what was your hope for creating it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I started this blog with the intention to randomly also chat about tea, in 2009. I did not disappoint myself- I rarely post, and of those few posts, a few are touching tea topics. Haha. Seriously, I should clean this up sometime, and also make some use of all those teacomentaries (domentary + tea + commentary, get it?) I collected offline&amp; on facebook&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) List one thing most rewarding about your blog &amp; one thing most discouraging.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rewarding: It&#8217;s&#8230; something.<\/p>\n<p>Discouraging: It&#8217;s not really a feast on the eyes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) What type of tea are you most likely to be caught sipping on?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hmm, most likely, as in: the kind of tea I drink most- would be herbal tea. Thanks mom!<\/p>\n<p><strong>6) Favourite tea latte to indulge in?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oh god, this is awkward&#8230; yeah. CHEAP MATCHA LATTE. From Starbucks, of all chains. Also, I sometimes drink Sweetened Oolong Milk Bubble Tea. Heresy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>7) Favourite treat to pair with your tea?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t a good and rich tea treat enough?<\/p>\n<p><strong>8) If there was one place in the world that you could explore the tea culture at, where would it be &amp; why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I must say China\/Taiwan, for I did not yet fully explore the tea culture there just yet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9) Any tea time rituals you have that you\u2019d like to share?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I do have certain cups\/bowls I prefer, and will go at ridiculous lenghts to drink from especially those. I also enjoy to eat the wet tea leafs from teas I meet for the first time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10) Time of day you enjoy drinking tea the most: Morning, Noon, Night or Anytime?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Anytime, really.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11) What\u2019s one thing you wish for tea in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tea in general? I hope that it does not become as much of a fancy schmancy product as coffee became.
