On this super chilled out episode we dive deep into a tea infused discussion that took us 3 hours. Not to worry, I cut that in half. :D We discuss our failures with steaming, rolling and preparing fresh tea leaves at home, picking tea leaves at tea farms, ponder about tea thinking puzzles, learn all the names of Japanese teas and sign up on Steepster, the social network where you can log what tea you are drinking. Make some tea and join us on this unforgettable tea ride.
