Contact

The best place to reach me is Instagram — @ao_teahouse. Messages and comments both work, and I look at them far more often than anything else.

I can't promise a reply to everything. One person, one kitchen, and the writing has to come first. But two things always get read.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, tell me. I'll fix it and note the change on the page. This matters more to me than anything else on this site — a guide that quietly stays wrong is worse than no guide.

Requests

If there is something you can't find a straight answer to in English — how a particular thing is actually handled here, why a maker's instructions say what they say — send it. That is exactly the kind of thing this site exists to write about.

Makers and shops

If you make or sell something covered here and want to talk, Instagram is still the way. No promises, but I'm interested.

Things I'll decline

• Guest posts and sponsored articles.
• Requests to insert links into existing guides.
• Link exchanges.
• AI-generated content offers of any kind.

None of these are personal — they just aren't what this site is.
