About Me
The following is taken from a fake interview with myself.
-So What makes Sweetest Dew different from other companies?
Dylan: Well to be honest I don't fully see my self as a company. The original goal of coming to china was to learn about the tea and then set up the company. Eventually I started offering teas that I thought were interesting. And while the online selling and presence as grown a bit since then I sometimes have to remind my self of this. I am not a finished product. I am still a guy who came to China to learn about tea and who is simply offering the teas he finds interesting.
-What is your method of sourcing teas?
Dylan: When I first came to China I was all over the place going to these far off regions only to come back empty handed. I realized that this wasn't the best way to do it and I instead started to focus primarily on local teas. This allowed me to dive much deeper into a specific tea and get more of a local knowledge of the tea.
Are you on social media?
Dylan: Yea I have a youtube, instagram and sometimes tik tok works. I also write articles. How much content can change depending on circumstance. I dont want a page full of here is what I'm drinking pics. Thats a little boring and repetitive. As I mentioned before I'm a work in progress so I'd rather have my social media show the journey. I'll documents days of searching through tea areas just to come up empty handed. I will often talk about the things I don't know and what my knowledge gaps are. I really want to be transparent and relatable instead of trying to seem like this all knowing tea master.
- What sort of teas make it you your website?
Dylan: I always put up teas that are either unique or a very good price for their flavor. Originally my only goal was unique teas. There are many good tea companies out there who offer very good teas, I wanted to offer something different. The teas you buy from me may not be your favorite teas, but they will show you a flavor profile you havent seen before.
Recently though I've seen the importance of affordable teas, everyday drinkers. So now I am more and more looking for teas that are maybe not so unique, but are just a really good value for their price point.
-Well that's all we have for now.
Dylan: Thank you for this talk. I quite enjoyed talking to myself.
-Let's not make it a habit.
