Finally home from @chiteafest. No issues. Lotta laundry to do, though. Night-fueling with some @elmwoodinnfineteas Kentucky Blend. Bruce Richardson designed it to remind him of the old family farm. Taste like how an aromatic memory of a leather and jerky. With Dian Hong wood-sweetness and malt. I bought it at the fest. . . #elmwoodinnfineteas #chiteafest #home #memory #nostalgia #kentucky https://www.instagram.com/p/B4eBLMGggys/?igshid=l6c5cfstyqy4

Bro... . . @chiteafest Year One was off the cuppa. (New slang term! Use it!) I met so many familiar tea faces, and met (in real life) so many more. . . And I'm exhausted. . . Tomorrow, I fly out and return to normalcy, or what passes for it. Thank you, Chicago. You're a weird town. I mean that in the best way, as a Portlander. . . Blog on the event coming ... soonishly. . . #chiteafest #teafestival #tea #festival #friends #teapeople #teafriends #weekendtrip #exhausted https://www.instagram.com/p/B4bUL3kA8qT/?igshid=4bo3pcu0wdt9
