TeaHawk loves Tea in cups = Caw!

I’m the TeaHawk.

A raptor verily obsessed with all things TEA

And learn more about me by…

…reading on….

When I hatched I had a tea-shaped hole in my heart only tea could fill. I tried filling it with coffee. That just made me want to kill everything that moves. Then I tried bad relationships, huge mountains of processed sugar, and cults. After that, high-level government lobbying, cow tipping, kicking puppies, attempting to instill insecurities into babies at a very young age by whispering not goo-goo-ga-ga but descriptions of conditions from the DSM-IV into their tiny ears in the language of humans, and long stretches of bone-lazy self-loathing.

I was scum. Someone should have hunted me… to EXTINCTION

Then on a lark (get it?) I flew abroad. Started roosting in biodynamic hippie communes. At the first one, they had a delicious cup of sencha there. Waiting just for me.

Mmmmm

I immediately learned to squawk in Japanese, started studying all varieties of tea, and grew my obsession to supercede my dysfunction. Nothing filled my heart so much as that day I rolled green tea lives I’d picked myself in that giant iron wok, firing them for the particular mold-covered local tea in the happy valley I’d have to leave all too soon. The seasons change there, time to migrate home.

Migrate home with talons full of TEA

Also, I love myself unconditionally. I would have worked a tea-pun in there, but it didn’t really fit.

Three cups for tea! Huzzah

TeaHawk’s Writers

Will Randall +1 (513) 549-1895, EST

The lead writer and potential alter-ego, he first got drunk on tea in his university days when his friends were drunk on, well, drinks. From there he’s become a student of tea. While backpacking hither & yon, he spent some years in Japan for a too-brief chance to pick & fire tea in the mountains of Shikoku. Got introduced to Dong Ding Oolong by some Taiwanese classmates, tea-obsessives all. Had a fine High Tea in a Revolutionary war hospital with all the tea ladies in their architectural hats. Now he writes on tea, tastes it, studies it and reports his findings here on the blog.

Favorite teas include Pi Lo Chun, Dragon Well, and a good Sencha, as well as heartier blacks. Has a particular affinity for Twining’s Keemunesque Russian Caravan tea blend, which he used to drink while watching all the classic communist silent films of Dziga Vertov.

Need Will to talk to your people about tea? Give him a call and suss it out.
