Hello fellow teaheads! If you clicked on the link you probably reckonise yourself in the following assumptions:
- You love tea ❤
- You drink a lot of tea
- You buy a lot of tea
- Own more tea than you cupboard can store
- Keep buying tea nonetheless
- You are always trying to find the perfect tea
- Always looking to perfect your brew
- Want to explore even more tea
Well, good news….. you are in good company!
There is just not enough hours in the day to drink all the tea! And the more you dive into the magical world of tea, the more you want to try. You start to develop favorites and before you know it there is a mountain of tea. Just lying around unappreciated. Such a waste!
So that is why I started this page.
Every journey starts with one step. And this is step 1.
It needs to be simple. It is not meant as a business. I just want to give my unwanted tea a good new home. And it would be so awesome to try tea that I probably would never be able to try.
If you got some unwanted tea. Just give me a shout out. The idea is to send enough tea for a proper Gong Fu session. We can discuss the details over E-mail or choose another form of communication. (pm on insta, messenger, what’s app)
My E-mail adres is: tijdvoortheemetmiranda@hotmail.com
Please add: Swap Tea to the title to make it stand out among the rest of the mail.
Or send a direct message on Instagram
My Philosophy:
I am playing with the idea of creating a platform like Goodreads, where you can review your tea. In an ideal world get in touch with people and even exchange tea. People who are familiar with Mei Leaf Teahouse, London are able to use their website to review the tea. But there is no option to browse other people’s tea. And get in touch with them. I would love to see a website that works like a combination of the Mei Leaf website and Goodreads. With an added section where you can add tea that you would like to swap. Just a short list of 5-6 tea’s that you want to give a new home. And 5-6 tea’s that you would love to try. However, I am not a wizzkid when it comes to websites building. I managed to make the Tijd voor Thee website and that is as far as my knowledge goes. Not to mention all the privacy settings. I got in touch with a few people that might be able to help. But I wanted to have something to work with in the meantime.
Update 13-5-2021: On my Tea journey today I was pointed in the direction of an app! It’s called My TeaPal. I am so happy to see that it does everything I want plus more. Except for the swapping option. But since this is a good start this might be an option to add in the future. I am not in touch with the people who created this app. It was mentioned on one of the teapages that I follow and it’s just too cool not to share. Free advertising for the good creators of this app haha. Good things need to be shared, not kept for ourselves. Enjoy the journey!
