Bio
The name’s Holly. 27. Work for a small IT company. About to finish a Master’s degree this winter. ISFJ for what it’s worth. I play various instruments (mostly bass guitar right now), attempt to write songs that I’m too scared to play for anyone, and I’m currently taking voice lessons. I also enjoy starting various hobbies, wearing monochromes, writing, cooking, taking walks, and various and sundry other things…
I’ve been a tea drinker since spring of 2013. Tea is a source of happiness, positivity, curiosity, and relaxation (…and caffeine) for me.
I’ve been on and off this site over the years, and I even had a separate tea blog at one point. For now, I’m just working on getting back in the habit of enjoying tea regularly and to its fullest.
Love: Malty Chinese black teas, shu/ripe pu erhs, soft flowery teas (esp. jasmine teas)
Like: Japanese green teas, sheng/ripe pu erhs, white teas
Still trying to get into: Most oolongs, chai teas
Not crazy about: Roasty teas, fruity teas, rooibos, many (not all) herbal teas

I’ve been trying to take time in the morning for tea as well. It’s amazing how much better my day goes when I’m not rushed!
