Scott
A self-described tea aficionado, Scott founded and launched TeaMinded in 2011 as a place to document his tea tasting notes and learnings. He first realized his appreciation for tea while on a trip with his wife to London, England. It was on this trip that he enjoyed a “proper” cup of English tea via a lovely Afternoon Tea experience (note: if you’re wondering what Afternoon Tea is all about, we have an explanation here). Scott then began tasting and discovering teas from across the globe, becoming a tea writer and educator. While he has an appreciation for all tea, green teas and ceremonial matcha from Japan are among his favorites (and arrive often, and in abundance, at his home in Southern California to this day). Scott’s grateful to be immersed in the tea community, always learning and sharing along the journey.
