An Introduction to the Quest

I already drink tea. I already enjoy tea. I have a cup in the morning, and a cup at night. Sometimes I have a cup at midday. I can tell you if I like a tea, or if I don't like a tea. I can tell you that Lipton tea is not so good, and that Tzao tea is better. If you lived in Salt Lake I could recommend you to a variety of good tea shops. But with all this tea drinking I could not claim to be a tea connoisseur. I do not know what makes some teas better or worse then others; I know very little about the process by which tea is made; I know even less about how to best unlock the flavors of any given tea. I know that there are black, white, and green teas, but not what makes them different, or what makes them all tea.

The point of my Quest is to learn what I don't know about tea. This blog will catalog my new found knowledge. It will be about tasting and sampling, it will be about history, it will be delicious, and it will be a good source of anti-oxidants. As you glean from what I have learned I hope we will both better understand, appreciate, and enjoy the finest of hot beverages.
