Spilling The Tee is a verbal record of the life of Tina Paul, by way of hourlong conversations over tea. Gabriel Perez, her son, came up with the idea of using a podcast to fully learn who his mom is (because she's a pretty amazing woman with a lot of great stories) for himself, but also to have a way for future generations to find out about who she is. Feel free to join in.

    It's a new season of Spilling the Tee! For Easter! Tina and Gabriel sit down with a cup of Pomegranate Rosehip Ceylon. Tina loves it, Gabriel doesn't but it grows on him. They then talk about Easters past both from Tina's childhood and from Gabriel's. Gabriel keeps bringing up Greek Easter.

    Island Coconut Black Tea - Tea Time 23

    Tina and Gabriel sit down with a cup of Island Coconut Black Tea. It's not their favorite. The coconut is strong but also a little like perfume. This leads them to talk about a time Tina was in Barbados and the large centipedes that live there. She went with her ex husband, and the highlights and lowlights of that relationship become the topics of the episode. It ends somber.

    Irish Breakfast Tea Twinings - Tea Time 22

    Happy St. Patrick's Day from Tina and Gabriel! They sit down with a basic Irish Breakfast Tea from Twinings. It is a black tea. Not too bitter. Not too exciting. It serves. They then talk about St. Patrick's Days from Tina's childhood, but that leads to talking about her family summers in Wells, Maine. A light episode with lots of laughs. Never take a nickel from Tina.

    Nonsuch Estate Black Tea - Tea Time 21

    Tina and Gabriel sit down with a cup of Nonsuch Estate Black Tea. It's delicate and lightly sweet, making for a less strong tasting black tea. It's delightful. This leads Tina to talk about her experiences in Boston's combat zone while working as a go go dancer. There is also a brief derailment to talk about her time in Castle, Germany.

    Wild Berry Zinger & Black Cherry - Tea Time 20

    Tina got a coupon for Celestial Seasonings tea and got a fruit tea sampler! Gabriel has a hot Mixed Berry Zinger while she sips an iced mix of Black Cherry and Mixed Berry Zinger. They taste like low sugar Kool-Aids. Very delightful. This leads to a less structured conversation about Tina getting rid of her accent, parenting advice, and the trappings of dogmatic thinking. It's all over the board!

    Night at the Iguana Chocolate Chai - Tea Time 19

    Tina and Gabriel sit down with a divisive cup of Night at the Iguana Chocolate Chai. Gabriel enjoys it, Tina absolutely hates it. Even now, writing this description she is giving Gabriel the rest of the tea leaves because she did not enjoy it. This leads to conversation about Tina's Broadway history, including a lot of information about different shows both pleasant and less so. During this period of time she became known as one of the best dancers on Broadway, which comes with accolades but also jealousy.

    Blood Orange - Tea Time 18

    Tina and Gabriel sit down with a delightful cup of Blood Orange tea. It's a black tea full of orange. It's highly aromatic but delicate to taste. Tina then continues talking about her musical theater history, including her first Broadway show, stories about auditions (both giving and auditioning) and getting cast in a fashion show/musical theater mix. She's one of the good ones. Gabriel slowly realizes he might be one of the bad ones.
