about bon teavant

INTENTION:  To inform, engage, inspire, and serve those who wish to explore the world of connoisseur tea; and to investigate through tea the intricate relationship between humans and plants.

SIP  ENGAGE  ENJOY:  If you want to find out about connoisseur tea--how it is grown, harvested and processed and by whom; how to steep tea in old or new ways; how to cook with it or to pair teas with food; who writes about it and where, OR how the tea ware you choose will inform your tea, Bon Teavant offers a roadmap and a fun way to get started on your tea adventures.

BON TEAVANT is the offering of author, photographer, and tea enthusiast Jennifer Sauer, who shared her first journey into American tea culture with her book, The Way to Tea: Your Adventure Guide to San Francisco Tea Culture, which was published in the summer of 2007.

Bon Teavant blog was launched in 2008 as a fun way for Jennifer to continue sharing her adventures in tea culture with others who are also fascinated by tea, tea culture, and the wonderful "tea people" who are found along the way of any such journey.

In 2010, Bon Teavant took the next step in helping others to learn as much as possible about connoisseur tea, by launching Bon Teavant Market, where you can further your tea adventures by purchasing fine connoisseur teas and teaware, as well as tea books, tea food, and other offerings.

You are welcome and encouraged to interact, comment, and make suggestions. We look forward to sharing our tea adventures with you, and want to hear about yours as well!

Happy sipping....
