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 and find brand recommended preparation instructions and other info. Teaity is, in fact, the reason I’ve been so quite with the reviews and blog posts. With info on over 6000 teas, lots of photos and tea company details it’s been taking a lot of time. But I’ll be returning to regular posts soon.

Posterific

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