World Tea Expo 2013 (Preview)

About This Year's Expo

For those of you who follow this blog, you know I love to visit the World Tea Expo every year to bring you news, photos, and tales of my experiences from the event.
This year will be a little different…

Yes, I’m still attending The Expo—but this year, I’ll also be a speaker!
I’m joining a panel of other fantastic bloggers to discuss how to use blogging on tea to help grow your tea business.

My Other Non-Day Job

I will also be taking the opportunity to promote Teaity, a new site I launched last November where you can discover and rate teas, find brand-recommended preparation instructions, and explore other tea-related info.

Teaity is, in fact, the reason I’ve been so quiet with reviews and blog posts lately.
With info on over 6,000 teas, lots of photos, and detailed tea company profiles, it’s been keeping me busy! But don’t worry—I’ll be returning to regular posts soon.

Posterific

I will update and add a flyer here in JPG format, and a PDF version soon.
