I’m Bower. I used to love red wine, mostly for the stories and the people around the table. About eight years ago I started down a tea rabbit hole and never came out. I’m not an expert behind a velvet rope. I’m a few steps down the path, and I’d love the company.
What Common Steep is. A live tea tasting club. We meet on video, steep the same tea at the same time, and talk about the mountains, makers and leaves behind it. I don’t sell tea. Before each session you get a shopping list, or you can brew what’s already in your cupboard.
What’s free
A weekly letter every Tuesday: a mountain, a maker or a story, plus a “loved this, try that” pick
The shopping list for each session, always with herbal and low-caffeine options
Open Steep, a free 45-minute live drop-in each month. Next one: Sun Nov 1, 3:00 PM ET. RSVP for Open Steep
Membership (coming soon): a monthly themed tasting, recordings and notes, and member chat, for $5.99/mo or $59/yr.
How it works
Subscribe. The shopping list lands at least 10 days before each session.
Grab a tea, from a partner or your own cupboard.
Join live on Zoom. Cameras are optional, and only the host is recorded.
