It’s tea time today on Running Into the Fog. Join us in welcoming Judith Leavitt, who was a strategic intelligence/market research manager in corporate development and manager of a corporate library for 17 years, among other positions in the business sector.
But since retirement from the corporate world, Judy has gone from a casual tea drinker to what she describes as being a “tea monster”. Her passion for loose-leaf teas has driven her to educate people on the various types, aromas, benefits, production, and history of tea.
Join us today as we discuss Judy’s book ‘Talking Tea’ that she penned in 2020, and how that came about. We’ll also hear about what skills she has taken from her corporate background into this project, see how tea can bring us together, and learn a few tea-drinking basics along the way!
