About the Author

Welcome to Tea & Things! My name is Ashley and I am obsessed with tea. Although I was always a fan of tea, my world changed in 2017 when a DavidsTea opened in my local mall and I experienced all the different flavors of tea that were possible.

Soon after that experience, I began college at New York University, and had hundreds of “Dining Dollars” that I could spend at Starbucks and Argo Tea. I quickly made it my mission to try every tea on the menu at both places, and beyond. Living in New York City means endless access to bubble tea, matcha shops, and little cafes, and I wanted to try all the tea I possibly could.

As my friends learned about my obsession and my quest, they began to ask me for recommendations on what teas they should try. Whether they were trying to get over a cold, searching the tea with the most caffeine, or just looking for a sweet midday treat, I was always able to help them find what they needed. These requests inspired me to start Tea & Things, so I could help even more people discovered the amazing world of tea, based on their needs a preferences. Cheers and enjoy!
