​​​Molly Bilker

 

Since she was young, Molly has been a black-tea enthusiast. She grew up on English Breakfast and Earl Grey (her father's favorite) and hosted regular tea parties at her house in her middle and high school years. As a writer, one of Molly's strongest tea memories is of sitting in front of her computer, scrambling to finish her novel for her creative writing class before deadline, wearing a bathrobe, drinking a hot, sweet cup of chai.

 

 

Carolina Marquez

 

The day is not complete without a cup of tea. Either a morning cup of chai or a hot peppermint tea before bed works for Carolina. Yerba Mate is her addiction, she buys it by the pound at Lee Lee's Market. Her favorite tea memory is from high school, when she drank yerba mate to stay up late and do homework.

 

 

Alex Scoville

 

Whether it's brandname tea bags dipped in microwave-boiled water or locally made loose leaf blends boiled to perfection, Alex loves tea. Her fondest tea memory comes from a trip to South Korea three years ago, where she was served the same, utterly delicious nutty green tea at every meal she ate.
