Hi everyone! My name is Peter and I have been around the tea community since 2017. You may have seen me elsewhere on r/tea (u/peterlista), Instagram (@mrpeterlista), discord (@peterlista), or in blog comments all over. I mainly drink young sheng, roasted oolong, and aged whites in a gongfu-style, though I've been known to dabble in other types of tea and brewing methods from time to time. I have recently moved from Bloomington, Indiana to Washington, DC, where I am doing my best to grow the tea community here through casual tea meetups.

If you live in the DMV, let me know and we can share some tea!
