Hello everyone this is Mike from The Tea Letter and welcome to episode one of Tea Sessions!

First, a bit about this podcast: I like to write long articles on the blog (breaking 1,000 words isn’t uncommon for me) so I thought I’d give your eyes a rest and let your ears do all the work. I plan to use this podcast as an opportunity to explore new storytelling and educational tools not available to me if I’m tied to the written word alone. As for topics, let’s just say everything will tie back to tea in some form another but it’s a bit early to limit myself to a certain niche. In other words, this is an experiment and I’m glad you’re here at the beginning! Let’s dive in.
