Welcome everyone to TeaDay. I hope we can all share what is in our cups today, all day.
Yesterday, many TeaChatters revealed they were encouraged to try new teas, and they simply learned more about tea upon joining TeaChat
Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic is about your TeaChat TeaRoots. What was your favorite type of tea when you first joined TeaChat? Did it change soon after you joined? Please share.
I am looking forward to sharing TeaRoots and TeaDay with everyone. Bottoms up.

Oolong and it did NOT change soon after joining!!
In fact I sought out TeaChat so I could discuss my love of oolongs,
that is what brought me here. But I did learn about high mountain
green oolongs here and found the one I truly love. So oolong,
oolong and still oolong.
Nothing for me tonight, it's too late. Too bad because I just opened the box
I got today of the oolong I love and now I must wait. <sigh>
Also got a new Nilgiri - more on that tomorrow!

Is that Lishan, Wenshan or Alishan, and details on your new oolong!!!
For me, I came in to TeaChat loving GREEN, and still do. Then it was Chinese green dominating my TeaMenu. However, I knew I would find the then elusive Japanese green that is so much more available today, the Kagoshima Yutaka Midori!

Re: Wild Kwan Yin, Sparrow Tongue
I would invest in a nice tea set but they would not last in my bachelor pad. Unless I hid them every Saturday when friends come over. It be like a white sock in red wine compared to the rest of my apartment...
Will post something on this in the right forum

When I joined teachat I had been drinking bagged black tea all my life and cheap store bought green and Oolong for a few months. Through the forum I learnt alot very quickly and placed my first order with o-cha soon after joining. Since them Japanese green has remained my favourite but I have subsequently fallen in love with Chinese greens and blacks! This morning I have opened my 25g sample of Keemun Hao Ya A from teaspring and all I can say is wow! Have a great day everyone
