Andy talks with us about his mission to help people slow down and craft a life they really enjoy, and how this goal, combined with Andy's views on the importance of organic teas and his experiences of European tea traditions, influences his blending process.\r\n \r\nMore on Plum Deluxe's teas can be found on its website, www.plumdeluxe.com, on Pinterest at pintertest.com\/plumdeluxe and on Facebook at facebook.com\/plumdeluxe. \r\n \r\nFor more information on Talking Tea and updates on new episodes, visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com\/talkingtea.\r\nTo inquire about being a guest or having your organization featured, please email us at talkingteapodcasts@gmail.com.\r\nTalking Tea is produced and hosted by Ken Cohen.
