He's best known as the leader of the popular and influential band the Mountain Goats and as a best-selling author, but John Darnielle should also be recognized for his exhaustive knowledge of tea. You know, the beverage. Tea. John details some of his favorite varieties of teas that you won't find on the shelf at your local grocer but that you can find if you send away to this one guy on the internet. John also walks us through his process of making tea to ensure maximum flavor and temperature. Listen to John regale you with tea knowledge and lore, steep in it, as you drift off to sleep.
