Greetings from Germany

by Randoom » Feb 23rd, '09, 18:27

Hi there!


My name is Daniel and as mentioned above I'm from Germany (currently living near Dresden/Saxony because of studying).
I'm 23 and just get starting with tea and all the science and art around it.

Green teas are my starting point and I haven't tested that much so there is wide room to go on.
But I hope to find some advice on other sorts of teas, too.I've tested an unspecific "formosa oolong finest" from a local teashop, taht was not really my taste. It tasted like the Darjeeling black tea and I don't like this neither ;)

I just bought a neat little gaiwan from Jing Tea Shop and some green and white tea and can't await till I get it :)

So that should be enough for a brief introduction of myself. Hope for some nice talking about tea and good advices.

Near Dresden - MMmmmmmn!

Can you tell us if there is much pottery / porcelain made there these days?

Perhaps you can acquire some interesting Teaware, and post some photos for us!

Have a cup of tea with us, Prost!

Welcome! Formosa Oolong is not the best oolong to try. I think you would like a green oolong, like Tie Guan Yin, Dong Ding, Baozhong, Ali Shan.

If you think of the Meissner porcelain, yeah they're still producing stuff.
But it is more of the traditional so I don't like it that much, maybe if I'm getting older ;)
Ff you wanna see something, google "Meissner Porzellan" it's also available in English
