A.C. Cargill, Editor and Writer
A personal note from me: Since having the honor to assume the role of Editor as well as being a major content contributor, I have striven to make this blog a great reading experience as well as an informative one by encouraging others writing for the blog to bring you their very best articles. I have also been resolving technical issues that come up here and there and hope you’ll bear with us if things aren’t quite right. If you see missing images, typos or other items, please feel free to contact me. And if there are topics you would like to see covered on this blog, please let me know.

My bio:

A.C. is the publisher of Tea Time with A.C. Cargill and Little Yellow Teapot Tea Reviews.

William I Lengeman III
According to William, if he had to select one tea to drink for the rest of his life he’d pretend he misunderstood the question and choose Assam and Sencha. He is the publisher of Tea Guy Speaks. [You'll regret missing even one word of William's articles!]

TeaGuide (aka Janis Badarau)
TeaGuide (aka Janis Badarau) has been a tea drinker for as long as she can remember. When she’s not maintaining the original online directory of tea rooms and tea shops (TeaGuide), the ‘net’s longest-running tea chat group (Teamail), and their related B2B networking group (TeaEntrepreneurs), Janis is busy hand-tea-crafting tea-dyed textiles and tea-filled jewelry (CrafTea Designs). More likely than not she’s got a Taiwan pouchong, a Japan green, or a second-flush Darjeeling in her teacup. [A very sensible and knowledgable tea drinker.]

May King Tsang May King Tsang
May King Tsang is a BBC (British Born Chinese) and has been drinking tea since she was this high (raises hand not too far from the floor to indicate height J)  After years as a professional presenter, May King combined the passion of both teaching and tea to produce an array of seminars and workshops including a Tea Appreciation class based on the Chinese Gong Fu Tea Ceremony (Around the World in Eight Tea Cups).   Having moved from to the UK to Australia in 2010, May King is continuing her mission to bring the teapot back, encourage people to take time with tea and to share tea with others.  When she is not presenting, she is writing or talking to tea friends through Social Media.  May King has recently been featured in the 2011 Australia Tea Guide, is Vice President of the Australian Specialty Tea Association and is in the Specialty Tea Institute top 50 list of recommended certified speakers. [One of the most pleasant and informative tea drinkers around. Don't miss a word!]

Elise Nuding
Elise Nuding is a mover, thinker, and devoted tea drinker. When not imbibing tea, she can be found immersed in modern dance and thinking about the ways in which we use, remember, imagine, and create places.
