Hi Again folks! I know you've all heard about "A Briefcase full of blues"....well, I've got a guitar case full of pu's.
First let me say that I currently have a nasty head cold which has my sinuses aching and my nose dribbling....I'll give you all a minute to get that image burnt into your brains................................................................................. OK...I told you that to qualify the fact that the pics may not be up to... sniff,sniff...sorry, that was the cold! The pictures may not be up to snuff! You will notice that some of the items have been rearranged in the pics. That being as it is, I will try to get as many of the pu's listed as I have, so far, found the info on.
You will also notice that the pics of the samples are a lazy effort as I was growing tired and didn't want to break out my tri-pod. My apologies.
OK...pics first...inventory later...
OK....Let's get on with the fun 'cause I can hear my bed calling me!

Hi Shogun!shogun89 wrote:Indeed a very nice collection there Apostle!! I see you are a fan of those Haiwan tuos too. Good tea for the money.
Thx for the compliment but I really did buy these teas blind...going on the ratings they received from their various purchasing sites...and of course...cost!
Truth be known...I've so far only sampled about 10 of these teas. Most of the green cakes won't be touched for quite a while.

If you hear a crash, that would be my wife's Martin hitting the driveway.
