Beginning

It's about 3 A.M. or so here in China, but what the heck, I can't sleep anyways.

I'll have to admit, starting a blog was not anticipated by me before the trip, but sometimes boredom can drive  you to do incredible things. Starting a blog is probably not the best idea I've ever had, since the blog will most likely fall into ruins after a while. But before that happens, I will be jotting down some of my random thoughts and notes on my tea journey.

Perhaps a quick self introduction is in order. But to explain who I am and why this blog exists, I must first explain who my father is. My father is an artist who specializes in Traditional Chinese Painting, and he is also a tea fanatic. And when I say fanatic, I mean seriously hardcore all the way crazy zealous fanatic. He's been drinking tea for over 40 years (going to hit 50 soon, I think), and has been hoarding huge amounts of tea in whatever vicinity he claims his own.

Naturally, I've drank my share of tea as well, and I liked it, a lot. But it is not until recently that I've started to travel to China, and really started to dive into the world of tea. Initially I didn't really think about having a blog or anything, but then like I mentioned before, boredom is a scary scary thing. From now on I will be recording my own journey to the best of my ability, and hopefully tea drinkers everywhere can share their experiences with me as well.
