What is STeaP?
STeaP stands for SuperTeaPeople, and aims to provide entertainment, education, and insightful content about all things tea. The creation of that name can be seen in our first episode, and the purpose of STeaP is to provide weekly content on the subject of tea; how to brew it properly, how to choose a good tea, and how to identify what you like in your favorite teas. We will review tea, showcase proper preparation of different teas, discuss our own exploration of tea, and invite you to participate in our journey.
Where can I find STeaP episodes?
Our episodes can be found on Viddler and on iTunes under "Podcasts." We will also post them here on the site, embedded from Viddler. Occasionally we will make "TeaToday" videos as well, but these will be exclusive to Viddler and to STeaPTV.com.
How often can I expect new STeaP episodes?
Our goal is to have one new episode available weekly, usually on Mondays. TeaTodays will be posted sporadically throughout the week, usually just one from each STeaP'er (Joe and Brandice) per week.
Who are Joe and Brandice?
Well, you can find out more about each of them individually on the right under "About Brandice" and "About Joe," but together they make a fantastic tea-drinking team based out of Akron, Ohio. They met several years ago writing novels together, along with Joe's wife Amy, and they've been fast friends since.
How do you choose the teas featured in each STeaP episode?
Joe has a lot to do with choosing the teas for each show. We try to feature teas that are commonly known, but we also feature teas that are our favorites or that have an interesting history or an interesting flavor. We are also willing to try any tea you'd like to send us! Just email us for an address, or just email us with suggestions for what you'd like to see us drink in a future episode.
