Growing up in Honolulu with parents who enjoyed eating out at least once a
week meant that many Chinese, Korean, and Japanese meals were consumed - all
with tea. It was a natural part of life. In American-style restaurants, Dad
drank the usual Lipton tea while Mom drank coffee and I had soda (I
experimented a lot with Lipton, but we never did get along and I eventually
gave up trying). At home, Mom drank coffee, Dad drank buttermilk, milk and
water; and I had juice or water.

On my own, a friend introduced me to chamomile and catnip teas and someone
else's mom introduced me to Constant Comment. That got me to trying
different supermarket teas.

Then, I discovered the joy of the fresher, loose black, green, white teas,
and blends.
