Who creates the content

Pages are planned and edited by Mara Ellison, the site editor, using a small editorial workflow focused on common reader questions: how a tea tastes, how to brew it, how freshness changes the cup, and what sourcing language can or cannot tell a buyer. Drafts are shaped around observable details such as leaf form, liquor color, aroma, bitterness, sweetness, umami, water temperature, steep time, storage, and origin context.

How guides are organized

Each page starts from a reader task rather than a fixed template. A Longjing note may focus on flat leaf appearance and pan-fired aroma; a matcha page may focus on powder texture, whisking, and grade language; a storage page may focus on freshness risks and packaging cues. Wellness-adjacent references are kept secondary and phrased cautiously.

Revisions, disclosures, and corrections

• Revisions: Older pages may be updated when brewing ranges, sourcing caveats, freshness notes, or health-adjacent wording need clearer boundaries.
• Disclosures: Commercial relationships, if present on a page, are handled through the Affiliate Disclosure.
• Corrections: Reader questions or suspected errors can be routed through Reader Contact. Corrections are handled by clarifying the affected passage rather than adding vague notes.
• Boundaries: Green tea content may mention antioxidants, caffeine, L-theanine discussions, and everyday rituals, but it does not promise treatment, prevention, diagnosis, detox results, or personal performance outcomes. See Green Tea Wellness Boundaries.
