2011 World Tea Expo (Update) – Thomas Shu sings Taiwan Tea Hakka Songs
Every year at the World Tea Expo Thomas Shu, a tea dignitary from Taiwan, sings songs related to tea.

Announcement: Not A Money Making Venture
After quite a lot of thought on these and other worries I have finally decided that some visual advertising may actually be helpful for this site. My primary mission is to expose visitors such as yourself to more tea and tea flavors and brands than they may have had access to before.
