*The first and original tea mailing list* with members from around the globe. A forum for civil, on-topic discussions about tea (Camellia sinensis) and all tea-related topics, including -- but never limited to! -- European and American tea customs; Asian tea ceremonies and traditions; tea in history and mystery :-); reviews of teas; publications and events; recipes; afternoon tea; tea cultivation; where to find teas served or for sale; plus special announcements from our many tea vendors. A social meeting place for all tea lovers, whether you're new to tea, an expert, or anywhere in between.

We recommend that members subscribe using an active email address, even if you intend to read/write messages via the Teamail/YahooGroups website.

Teamail is *not* a forum for promoting blogs, newsletters, e-zines, community-building sites, or other groups or forums. You are welcome to post your writings here.

Please keep message postings *on-topic.* Teamail is fully moderated to maintain a civil level of discussion and to discourage scammers, spammers, and other trolls.

All members are responsible for reading the Teamail FAQ at www.teamail.net, and for following group protocols.

Vendors, please see the FAQ at www.teamail.net for details about commercial postings.

If you are a tea room or tea shop owner, or aspire to be, please see Teamail's B2B "sister" group, Tea Entrepreneurs Association, for networking and discussion with your tea business colleagues: www.teaentrepreneurs.org or http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/tea-online/
