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 anyone can enjoy learning about tea by comparing and tasting the teas from the best small tea merchants in the United States, who source their teas directly from Asia. Also featured are tea events, classes and tours, as well as tea books and other offerings.
By visiting the Tasting Room, visitors can purchase educational tea products that include taste comparisons, along with special interviews, not available elsewhere, with the top tea people in the country. These interviews are usually bundled with comparative, educational tea products created and offered exclusively by Bon Teavant.
