Damn near choked on a mouthful of mugged mao jian when I gazed up on this list Maxamilli.

A true honor to get a Leafhopper seal of tub & toke approvalโ€”but also, like others have shared, I had no idea we tea newsies rolled so deep.

Became a proud TT patron (thanks to your rec) last fall and frequently fly in both Peck GH's celestial skies and Kettl's drops, mostly to insist the latter acknowledge and correct a trifecta of factual errors in Zach's Japanese tea book (Sanetomo was a shogun not an Emperor, his last name spelled Minamoto not Monamoto, based in Kamakura not Kyotoโ€”but we'll get through eventually, I'm insufferable). Only just got hip to Steep Inights after his appearance on the Matcha Specialty Pod but excited to read and find out how many others were forced to endure David's Tea seasonal box gifts.

But I'm now subbed to the remainder and can't wait to bring my special blend of tea euphoria and despair to their comment sections โ€” if any shoukd disapprove, they can blame the blunts and baths powering the one tea newsletter one should read if they only read one: Leafhopper ๐Ÿคฒ
