Hey Storytellers! Hello again from Taiwan! I just finished the intensive tea program today and the program has been overwhelming in the best way possible— it was incredibly educational and inspiring. 
 
During one of the days, we were withering tea leaves from 8 in the morning till 2am the next day. 
 
The days have been packed, back-to-back, morning till evening, traveling all around Taiwan visiting tea farms, tea factories, museums, and so much more. It’s been humbling and eye-opening to say the least. 
 
This tea intensive program, more like a bootcamp, has inspired me to work on a very special episode that I’m beyond excited to share with you next week. I’ve been posting pics from this trip on InstagramTwitter, and Facebook so be sure to find me @88CUPSOFTEA and check out #88CupsOfAsia to join me on this open-ended adventure around Asia. 
 
For today, we’ll be diving into another vintage episode from our show featuring screenwriter Katie Wech. In case any of you missed last week’s episode, we’ve gotten a jump in our listener numbers and I’d love to welcome you guys to the show. Thank you for joining our storyteller tribe and I’m so excited to share this journey with you. And as always, a heartfelt thank you to my O.G. listeners who’ve been there since day one. You all make this show what it is and I’m truly so thankful to each and every one of you. We’ll be listening to Katie Wech’s inspiring interview today as she is the very first guest on the show, and her episode was a HUGE hit, pulling in a ton of listeners and leaving them incredibly inspired. Her episode is an amazing example of the message and heart of what 88 CUPS OF TEA is about.
