Haley Fox

By this point, my veins probably pump more tea than blood. For my fifth birthday, I received a miniature Delton tea set for two in a white wicker basket. The year after that I received my first (and only) family heirloom - my great grandma's fine china teacup and saucer, decorated by a delicate violet sitting next to a robust sunflower. As long as I can remember, tea has been present in glasses and pitchers and mugs, scattered through my home like so many days in the summer when my father would brew sun tea in the choicest patch of light on our back porch. Call it overly poetic, but I think that's why I consider being a tea lover one of the dominant aspects of my personality. That's also may be why I like writing about it so much. Cheers!

Editor in Chief: Caitlin Morath

Caitlin's love affair with food began early in life under the influence of a polish grandmother on one side, and a grandfather with a taste for fine restaurants on the other. She developed an appetite for all sorts of cuisine, and a fascination for finding ways to mix restaurant and family cooking in her own kitchen. Caitlin enjoys preparing food for her friends and family (aka guinea pigs), much to the enjoyment of her roommates.

Columnist Editor: Caitlin Miller

Originally from San Francisco, Caitlin is a junior in LSA studying History and Art History. Her favorite foods are avocado, mozzarella, pumpkin pie and berries. Her ideal berry would be a hybrid between a blackberry and raspberry – having recently discovered that this actually exists (ollalieberries!), she is now the happiest person on earth. She loves movies, travelling, movies about travelling, street food, Manet, and making guacamole. When not re-watching The Wire, Caitlin can usually be found in Comet Coffee daydreaming about living in Paris and starting every day off right with a baguette and some chocolat chaud.
