Hello,
I guess I should start by saying that I live in the south east United States (atleast for now).
like almost any kind of tea, my favorites being white and green. I especially like the Japanese green teas such as Sencha and Gyokoru. I would like to get into Pu Erh tea.
I don't really know know what else to say...

Is that a death threat?
I actually have tentative plans to move to the Seattle area soon. I really like Washington.
Thanks for the welcomes, everyone.

Teachat: where threats come DEATHSTEAMED.
only kidding bud. your choice to move to Washington is a wise one.
Washington is great, but a little more south (what she said) is the jackpot.

A little more south? As in Oregon?
The area I was looking at is around the city of Monroe, if you know where that is.

You know you're a tea nerd when you measure distance in gongfu sessions.

rosenkraftlos, hmmm, name just rolls right off the tongue.
Anyway, welcome to another Japanese tea fan!!! I love sencha first...I have no idea what comes next.
Anyway, if you ever visit Fuka's town, he will be the guy with his mouth wide open displaying a mouthful full of vivid green fukamushi leaf...stick around long enough and you will know what I mean.

Rosenkraftlos is a German word that loosely translates to "rose of blood".

Actually, it would be more like "strengthless rose(s)," considering that nowhere is the word for "blood" included in 'rosenkraftlos.' I suppose it could be a figurative meaning of which I'm unaware.

I suppose I could be wrong, but I believe that "kraftlos" has a secondary meaning "of blood".
I could be wrong, I only know some German, I am not a fluent speaker.

OK, I'll come out with it.
Every time I see your handle, I think rosencrantz. But that reminds me of one of the coolest shows I've ever seen, which is a good thing.
