It’s been longer than I’d like since I wrote a blog post. The main reason is that I was the president of the Puget Sound Tea Education Association (PSTEA) and we just finished the first ever Northwest Tea Festival. Attendees of the festival appeared to enjoy themselves, lots of tea was had by all, and virtually everyone involved said it exceeded their expectations.
A few photos from the event:
