New members welcome thread.

Many thanks

Hey all! I’m Ken, a newbie here, and a long-time tea-lover from the east coast USA. I used to work at Teavana (RIP), and I acquired quiiiite a bit of tea during my time there. I’ve got plenty I still need to get through, though my favourites are pure teas and floral teas – especially anything jasmine!

I also used to be a part of a tea-buying group, who’d split the cost of interesting cakes – does anyone know of any groups like that still around? Not that I need to buy anymore tea, mind!

Thanks for the welcomes! Just a quick question – is there a reason I wouldn’t be able to update my profile? Anything I add disappears, even though I get an “Account Updated!” notification. Wondering if it’s a bug or something hinky on my end. Either way, thanks! :D

Hello everyone, my name is Sarah and tea is my special interest/obsession/hobby. I’m absolutely in love with Chinese and Japanese greens at the moment, but also love Pu’erhs, Oolongs, and black teas. I will try any tea not once, but twice ^^

I worked as a barista for a while but now I’m working as home health care for my grandmother, and I’m in school to become a medical biller/coder. My dream is to one day have a whole space in my own apartment/house dedicated just to tea.

Hi everyone! After several years of trying to join Steepster and getting error messages, I’ve finally been able to make a profile for the first time. Woohoo!

For a couple years I had a huge tea-drinking hobby/habit (hobbit?) – a whole dedicated tea cupboard in my kitchen and, well, let’s just say more teaware than I could go through between dishwasher cycles. I took a break when I realized I was buying teas faster than I could drink them, but I just ordered new teas for the first time in a year and I’m super excited to steep them with you!

Returning member who was looking for Ceylon St James and this site popped up. I remember the ownership change at 52Teas, the beginnings of Liquid Proust, and Southern Boy Ice Tea pivoting to Amazon.

I drink a lot of Harney East Frisian. My daily brewing style is looseleaf black in a mug, unsweetened no milk, and I’ll drink around the leaves then rebrew with half the water.

New member, I live in Tampa and like tea! My favorites are English Breakfast but I also enjoy oolong and other black teas. I would not say that I am really knowledgeable at all, but I am interested.

I found steepster through listening to the comedian Emmy Blotnick.
