Hi all...I've been putzin' around teachat for a little bit, but have never formally introduced myself. I have been drinking tea for a while, but only in bags. I just started getting into the loose, but now have already gotten a cabinet full of loose and teaware to go with it...my husband just loves my new found hobby
I mostly drink greens, hence the name, but have tried others. I like some whites, but have found not to be a very big fan of blacks. I really like jasmine tea (have tried and enjoy adagio's jasmine #5) and am looking for a good green jasmine.
Just wanted to officially say HI!

Well, Go Green, I second Chip's welcome. Those greens certainly are alluring, and there's soooooooooooooooo many to try! But I could never give up my blacks, light and dark oolongs, puerhs.
My journey has been the opposite of yours. I entered the world of tea through the door marked "Black." It took me a while to find out that the green teas that I always assumed were bland and boring were maybe even more intense than their darker brethern. Actually, the few coffee aisle teabags I had tried really were bland and boring, so I guess it just took me a while to find better tea.
