Good article - thanks for the link. It's not surprising to read about a progressive and still burgeoning tea scene in Portland. With close to thirty microbrew operations and a coffee/espresso culture that most coffee cognoscenti consider to be equal to or even beyond what's been happening in Seattle for awhile.... Portland seems to be in the forefront of the beverage scene (notwithstanding wine appreciation and the cocktail renaissance - which are far more notable elsewhere).

I wonder if an cultural pundits have postulated theories about what factors have contributed to these developments in Portland?
