Tea Journey Magazine
Quench your thirst for knowledge. Refine your taste in tea. _ Tea Journey is a consumer magazine for tea drinkers seeking to source, select, and prepare fine tea. The magazine is a collaborative effort of 40 tea writers around the world, supported by subscribers. The tea lands are where the great tea research centers and universities are located and where the serious work in tea is undertaken. Much of the magazine’s content is translated from native language reports by professional tea journalists, scholars, and tea experts in China, Japan, India, and Korea. Articles are posted throughout the year. To conserve forests and enable global distribution, content is assembled into two digital publications (eMags). The Origins issue documents the spring harvest and is followed by the Tea Discovery issue which reveals the best teas in time for gifting each fall. Twice a year Tea Journey prints a selection of these articles in 150-page book-a-zines on fine quality paper.
