"Sex And the City", "Friends", "Seinfeld"-- Something fundamental about these shows made them cult like hits.

And overall, what maeks this group different is that sometimes we don't want to go hiking- we just want to go out the house, go for coffee, the movies, or shopping with a bud to have someone tell …

I have been an avid tea lover all my life. Having grown up in the East, I was fortunate to be exposed to amazing teas and I would like to share my love and knowledge with others. The group I am forming would meet to sample different teas, discuss various aspects of tea culture and help promote the drinking and appreciation of tea to what is generally a "coffee culture" in this country. Ideal members would be those interested in learning about tea, those who enjoy tea and the culture of tea.
