Hey There

by woozl » Jan 28th, '09, 09:15

I'm new here.
I had a cup of earl grey several years ago and thought
"Where has this been all my life?"
Now I drink mostly greens and darjeelings.

I'm wondering when the '09 teas will show up.
What is usually first? sencha or chinese greens, then 1st darj???

Next question, should I try samples of existing '08 to see what
I like or don't like?

Thanks-
Doug

“I’ve had nothing yet,” Alice replied in an offended tone: “so I ca’n’t take more.”
“You mean you ca’n’t take less,” said the Hatter: “it’s very easy to take more than nothing.”

Welcome:

Last year I got my FF darjeelings end of april, my first shincha beginning of april but some shincha were available only mid may. I got the chinese greens later.

For sencha and Darjeeling, you can buy some right now.
Finding a good chinese green at this time of the year would be delicate.

Hi Woozl, welcome to our "tearoom." I hope you share many cups with us.

Here is an interesting topic on Shincha, new harvest sencha from 2008. It will give you a primer on the freshest sencha from last year.

Please stop by TeaDay and share what is in your cup.
