Your Resident Lurker... Hello!

by SevenStar » Apr 6th, '10, 12:07

Hello TeaChat!

I've lurked these forums for the last 3 years, so I know you guys but... :lol:

My Oolong addiction started when travelling through China around 5 years ago. Myself and my girlfriend got totally touted and ended up in some random tea store in Guangxi province - in retrospect not a bad place to end up. Anyhow this was my first experience of Gung Fu Cha; I don't think they expected us to stay for around 4 hours sampling tea, let alone bombard them with every tea question imaginable :lol:

Since then its been a bitter sweet journey (more bitter than sweet for the first year or so) but I think I am finally getting to a stage where I can maybe contribute something worthwhile on here :)

I'm very interested in the intricacies of tea/tea cermony, and this forum has so far been a wonderful place for learning. Tea for me is a perfect compliment to my Kung Fu training, and the more I practice both, the more I understand the similarities between the two.

Anyway I'll keep this short. I hope you're all well and I look forward to us sharing some experiences.

Craig
