Hi, there! This is Lindsey "Vee" Goodwin of VeeTea and Copy & Taste. Leading tea tours in NYC and getting into writing about tea was a fantastic journey for me, but now I'm on to other things, like traveling to tea origins around the world, writing about tea full time and consulting on the side. I have a new website which reflects my current work more accurately. You can see what I'm up to these days at Copy & Taste. And although VeeTea is out of date, I wouldn't want to deprive you of its existence. It's here to stay!Latest Blog:
