What is your relationship to tea?
I love tea. I wasn’t really into tea much until I got to college where a girlfriend at the time introduced me to oolong tea and I fell in love. I also wasn’t a big fan of coffee back then so chai lattes were kinda my jam when we would go to a coffee shop. That later turned into dirty chai’s.

 

What significance does tea have in your life? In your family? In your culture?

nighttime tea is one of my favorite things to sip on when winding down for the night. Tea I think is a wonderful alternative if you feel like you want some sort of night cap after a long day but want to keep it healthy. The older I get the more I value it. My dad hates coffee so I know I can always count on him to have some tasty chai when I come home for the holidays.
