Helloooo from California

by Pentox » Feb 8th, '08, 14:28

Hi

I actually signed up a while ago, but never saw this category to post under. So I figured a late introduction is better than none.

I'm from California, more specifically the Central Coast. I've been a tea drinker for most of my life, but only recently has it come into the prime time for me. I used to drink primarily soda or coffee. The area of tea that I drink the most of is Japanese Green teas, more specifically senchas and gyokuros are my primary beverages, but I am branching out more and more.

I've got a blog as well, i've posted it in the blog section, but here it is anyway:

Um, i'm not sure what else to say, but hi and I love tea.

Welcome! I'm from Southern CA, Orange County area.
Oolongs are my thing, but I drink a lot of blacks too and some whites. I am just starting to venture into greens. I'll be checking out your blog!
Welcome!

Welcome Pentox...I liked your review of the Teavana Sencha. :lol:

Always good to have another Japanese tea fan (or so it seems) on TeaChat. I saw you found TeaDay, thanx for jumping into the discussion there.

Hope to see you around TeaChat for many years.

Hahaha, so you're the one. I agree though, it was poorly worded, I actually just finished revising it with citation.

Hahaha, i'm glad you liked the post, I find it amusing that you found the one tea to get a rating of 1/10 so far.

Don't even bother asking for them to prepare gyokuro for you at a Teavana store. When I did, they used boiling water! :shock:

[Mary's Edit: They did for me too!!!]

Somehow your screen name (tsuki K.O.) reminded me about this funny kendo clip:
