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. While Sweetest Dew has grown a lot in the last few years I am still at the core, l 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. Many of the teas on my website are from Huang Shan cause I spent five years there. Since then I have lived in white tea and oolong regions so you are seeing some teas from there.  On the other hand this is the reason that you dont see some of the popular teas like pu er or pheonix oolong, because I have not spent enough time in that region to really understand the teas. 

Are you on social media? 

Dylan: Yea I have a youtube, instagram and sometimes tik tok works. Social media has been a point of focus for me recently but its still pretty minimal. As one person put it I "walk down the street filming my self." The goal of my social media though is to really show you what goes into sourcing teas in China. A lot of my videos are me failing to find good tea cause that happens more often than not. 

- 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.
