Hi tea people

by snafu » Jan 16th, '09, 17:26

Hello from Vancouver.

I've been lurking these forums for a few years now so I've already benefitted much from your collective wisdom - discovered a few of my favourite teas here and I've long enjoyed the "Show off your teaware" thread. I finally decided to create an account and participate a little, though I'm not sure how much I have to add.

I'm pretty much obsessed with sencha, gyokuro, and greenish oolongs, but I find something to enjoy about most tea types. Recently I had my socks knocked off by an aged sheng which has inspired an interest in pu'erh, a new direction for me. I'm also very interested in pottery and teaware in general, though my collection is modest by TeaChat standards. Other than tea, I drink a lot of fresh mint tisane (grow my own), and I love coffee/espresso.

Anyway, nice to "meet" you all.

Welcome, there are a few coffee drinkers here who love tea just as much or more! Not to mention the wine drinkers and Malt Whisky drinkers.
Best wishes from Cheshire

Welcome! I visited your city a few years ago and fell in love with it.
And you can always mosey over to Victoria and have high tea.

Welcome! I think you can add much if you care to. Don't think all Teachatters has as much teaware as a few maniac people - no names mentioned 8)

I'll add my 'welcome' to the collection.

Feel free to chime in on a few salient threads and help expand our little slice of tea culture.

Hello

by Stormy_Tea_Cup » Jan 18th, '09, 05:19

Hi, I'm new in this forum, and I consider myself a newbie in the Tea Culture as well. I'm so new and inexperienced that I don't even have a preference for a particular type of tea.

All I know is I like tea. And that is about as much knowledge I possess about this wonderful world.

I hope to rely on your erudition and lore.

And please excuse my poor knowledge of english.
The first cup moistens my lips and throat, the second cup breaks my loneliness, the third cup searches my barren entrail but to find therein some five thousand volumes of odd ideographs.
