Totally Off-Topic: Steepster.com
So I a reader that munches. Nothing makes me happier in the winter than curling up with a good book, on the heating vent with a blanket, a plate of cookies or grapes and hot tea within arm's reach. ( I may have mentioned this before.)
I bring this up because I was recently exposed to an addictive new website called Steepster.com, which is a Twitter-like site for tea fanatics. Registered members log cups of tea as they're brewed or bought, and review blends from companies around the world. It seemed like a perfect site for me, because I am constantly drinking tea, enjoying it, and promptly forgetting what was in my cup and where I purchased it.
It's bad for my wallet, I admit. Reading other peoples' reviews of teas makes me think "Gee, I want to try that!" and before I can stop myself I've gone to the company website to see how much the tea costs and where I can buy it. I'm especially fond of flavored oolongs, and thanks to Steepster I've found a half-dozen to buy when my next paycheck comes in.
Anyway. I associate tea-drinking with reading. They go nicely together, like peanut butter and jelly or marshmallows and chocolate. So by extension, other readers might also be tea-drinkers, and some of you might LOVE this site if you knew it existed. So now you do! You can thank me later.
