Just watch out for that guy named
Ouch. He seems like a tough customer.
SOTD- sheng of the day is my favorite thread and a great resource for checking out short tea reviews. I would strongly recommend any puhead sign up and subscribe to SOTD at least. Lurking is permitted and, of course, there is no fee.

He's a pansy.
We just started a dedicated buy/sell/trade subforum in The Cafe''', and some group buys will probably be in the near future.. Should be interesting. Tea Chat is still the #1 source as far as I'm concerned, but I can't get enough of this stuff and welcome any and all venues. Jim posts some amazing pics, and Hobbes has contributed ~1000 posts, always, as expected, enthralling.

The Cafe.
Guess I do need to get my posts up on this forum.
If anyone is interested in samples PM me and I will respond directly.
I welcome anyone to participate in the B&B group buy. In addition, please let me know what you might be interested in for a group buy here. I would be happy to make it happen. Right now, I am using YSLLC and Scott is giving us a bit of a break for buying in quantity.
Best regards,
Steve
