TeaChat

When I first starting posting on the boards I stood firm by black teas.

Now most of the teas that I drink are green - especially sencha and matcha.

It's wonderful what tea education will do!

Tomasini is GRRRRRRRRRREAT!!!

I agree, I don't think I would go back to black tea either. Loose leaf green tea is it for me, possibly followed by white tea.

Double Ditto! Sencha is my favorite tea

I'm probably the only die-hard black/oolong tea drinker here. I've opened my mind to the possibility of green tea, but still not quite converted.

That being said, I am having some raspberry green because it is late.

I can definitely relate to the feeling of looking back and saying "wow, I feel much different about tea now that I have been a member of teachat and read a lot". However, I still feel there is a lot that confuses me or is still in the dark. Knowledge is a strange thing, it seems silly and endless but I also feel I can have a greater appreciation for tea (or all things) as a result of knowledge.

I enjoy every kind of tea despite high roasted oolongs, but greens and blacks are my favourite ones...

EDITED

Black tea is in my blood. Assam with milk is like too special to me. Always has been and always will be. But this board had me work all the way through Chinese teas to Japanese and now all the high end tea i drink is sencha only

My preferences keep changing all the time, but one thing that hasn't changed a bit over the years is my love for finicky, brisk Darjeelings and some oolongs. Everything else just comes and goes (back into storage).
