Tea Is A Good Friend of Mine - Emily Crosier


Wow, I've truly enjoyed the replies I've received for this series so far - here's another one! 

Meet Emily Crosier of @TeaWithEmmy!


What's your name and what part of the world do you live in?
Hello! My name is Emily Crosier. I live in West Virginia!

How long have you been drinking Tea?
I have been drinking Tea since an adolescent. Recently, I have been exploring the different types, tastes, and histories of Tea. After cosmetology school, I found that building a new career was stressful and strenuous. Various loose leaf Teas provide me with peace of mind, stress relief, and a calmness that I desperately need.

Do you work in the Tea industry and if so, what do you do?
I currently do not work in the Tea industry but it is a goal that I hope to achieve in the future.

Why do you enjoy drinking Tea? How does Tea make you feel?
I enjoy drinking Tea not only because it tastes wonderful, but because it's relaxing, has many health benefits, and the tranquility it provides.

Any special practices or customs you adhere to while drinking your Tea?
I usually drink Tea in the evenings with my boyfriend before he leaves for the night shift. However, I also enjoy the Japanese ceremonial Matcha tradition. I'm also in the midst of getting the tools and utensils to also enjoy the Chinese Gongfu ceremony.

What is your all time favourite kind/blend of Tea?
I honestly don't have a specific favourite. I enjoy all types of Tea, including black, white, oolong, and even green Tea. This also doesn't exclude herbal tisanes. It all depends on what I'm feeling. 

Finally, what book are you currently reading?
I am currently reading A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. 








Much thanks to Emily Crosier!

Lesson Learned - CONTRACT

Image
  It was a day like any other - I had taken a break from work to talk with my boyfriend at the time. I knew he'd been with friends after a job interview. He had plans to return to his home city after being away from it for over ten years. I wanted to hear his voice, and my anxiety wanted to make sure that we were still cool with each other. Imagine my surprise when not only did he say that he was no longer interested in me, but he was telling me, "since so many guys flirt with you, why don't you pursue one of them?" I had told him that I met many men (and women) at sci-fi conventions while selling my books, and of course, many guys flirted with me. However, I wasn't interested in any of them because I was happy with my relationship. I couldn't believe what he was telling me, and twenty minutes later, I returned to work with tears streaming down my face. Years later, I wish I could tell him THANK YOU for what he did. Yes, he was afraid to continue the relations...

Tea Is A Good Friend of Mine - Celia Carmen Aceae

Here's another great interview - meet Celia Carmen Aceae! What’s your name and what part of the world do you live in? Hi! My name is Celia Carmen Aceae and I live in Montreal, QC, Canada How long have you been drinking tea? What’s the story, morning glory? I’ve been drinking tea since I can remember. In my house, we never drank water and there was no rule against children consuming caffeine at all! I’ve only recently realized that the reason my sister and I were always labeled as crazy, wild and hyper at school, was probably because my mom sent us to class every day with a giant jug of tea. We were constantly caffeinated! Tea also means more than just Camellia sinensis for me. I’ve been reading about medicinal herbs since I was eight. My mother forbade all forms of medication in our household, so I learned at a young age how to cure small ailments with plants and tisanes. My sister was very prone to headaches and anytime she started to get one, I would hop on my ...

I am so happy that I have a third Tea Person to share with you:  Freya Radlein ! What’s your name and what part of the world do you live in? Freya Radlein and I live in Seattle. How long have you been drinking tea? Ever since I was little. Growing up in England tea was part of culture. We'd stop at 11 (we called it elevensies) and have a drink and a biscuit or a snack. It was black with milk, also known as "builder's tea" although technically, it should have two sugars as well. As I got older I added the herbals in, chamomile, straight red and green rooibos. Do you currently work in the Tea industry and if so, what do you do? I have a tea business selling both tea and designing personalized tea event favors. Why do you enjoy drinking Tea?   How does Tea make you feel? For me tea is a lifestyle. It's an intricate part of my day which brings me joy and mental relaxation even if I'm drinking it busy doing things. It's a conne...
