Tuesday TeaDay 3/29/11 TeaStack?

by Chip » Mar 29th, '11, 02:36

Greetings fellow tea aficionados! We all hope you will join us on TeaDay ... and share what is in your cup throughout the day.

Yesterday we discussed whether you must "force yourself" out of your fave TeaZone/TeaComfort zone? Please continue to discuss yesterday's topic.

Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. Do you ... place/store all your teas according to nation and/or region of origin? Or not? Please share.

We are all looking forward to sharing this TeaDay with everyone, bottoms up!

It depends on what the tea is. The tea I have for my personal consumption, I have them stored on shelves by country, type, and region. Greens, Yellows, Whites, and Wulongs I have stored in the freezer by type. The tea stored for aging, I have them stacked according to type, region, and flavor.

I don't have big choice, only few different japanese teas. Label on container is enough to find exact tea without any delays. Though it will increase after new harvest will arrive

I sort first by country (China, Japan, other) and then by type, in this order from left to right: White, yellow, green, oolong (sorted from lightest to darkest), red, pu-erh, flavoured (jasmine etc). Since my Japanese selection only contains greens, it is divided into sencha, kabusecha, gyokuro, kukicha/houjicha/genmaicha, matcha. Finally the "other" group has only one subgroup at the moment; Darjeeling.

I sort my canisters by size or simply by where they'll fit. I throw all my small samples together regardless of type. Luckily I don't have too many teas to sort through when I'm looking for a specific one. :lol:

Formosa Alishan oolong from Dragon Tea House in my cup today. Delicious. :mrgreen:

Mine are sorted by type more than anything.

This reminds me I should probably get around to resorting everything.

I store all my unopened Japanese greens in my fridge, otherwise I don't sort my teas according any specific order. I don't even put any label on the cannisters for my opened teas.

Hibiki an SP sencha right now.

I don't have a great space for my tea right now, so when organized it's by type. Right now it's a mess and I guess you could say by vendor?

Sencha today

All of you are so organised, mine go into a cannister and then in the store. cannisters are the things put in an order not the teas, pot luck on the day. :wink:

No organization for my teas. They go where ever they fit in the pantry at home, or the tea box at work.

I don't organize my tea in any particular way. My sock drawer is chaos as well.

Mao Feng from Teaspring this morning; very good, floral and sweet.

Mine are all sorted by type:

plus separate areas for special projects, like dragonwell last year and DHP this year.

I have three cloth boxes that I keep underneath the table which I brew tea at. Each box is one of three categories: Japanese/ Korean, Chinese (non Puerh), and Puerh, and of course the tea is sorted accordingly and placed in the box. Wondering if I need to reorganize as the Puerh box is over-full and the Japanese/Korean box always looks empty especially since Japanese greens are usually packed in such small bags.
