FINALLY, TEA AGAIN!!! 4:30 and finally getting to my 2nd tea. I am drinking Yutaka Midori from Kagoshima. I said yesterday this one is finnicky, and it is proving its point right now, a little too astringent. Still very good.
The poll today is a little shocking in that greens are winning by a large margin and pu-erh has as many votes as oolong. Last time we voted on this around 7 months ago, here was our vote:
Black
29% [ 14 ]
Oolong
27% [ 13 ]
Green
25% [ 12 ]
White
4% [ 2 ]
Pu-erh
8% [ 4 ]
Rooibos
0% [ 0 ]
Herbal
2% [ 1 ]
Other
2% [ 1 ]

Dudes, what's up? It's winter-- green tea should be gone by now! Oolong and puerh age well, drink them instead!

Photo, congrats on your tetsubin KETTLE!!!
There is a lot of jealousy going on here right now!!!
Going to make a cup of everyday matcha. It is good, but light, perhaps more approachable than the higher grades. But I do like it, and I can approach it very casually.
WOW, black tea is trying to make a comeback!
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

But seriously, which blog entry are you referring to?Ladytiger wrote:I'm going to hid in a corner with my Valentines tea and possibly bang my head against the wall because of tea ignorant I am. If you read my tea review blog you'll see why.

Drinking Ali Shan today.
Li Shan traditional style Da Yu Ling Gao Shan Cha is my favorite hands down, unless I'm having a really good Bazhong, which always temporarily persuades me.
