A new amateur around here.

by JPX » Jun 7th, '09, 03:52

I have been discovering the pleasures of teas for the past few months.
I got myself a gaiwan, a kyusu and a kettle. (i own no matcha ware yet).

So far the best 2 teas i tried are a kamairicha and a 1995 Tung ting (From taiwan) (its a oolong tho).

Im new around here and by reading around a bit i came to the realisation that the world of tea is so much bigger that i thought it was!

I would like to find some infos to read about any teas (green in particular) (free infos if possible) but i would mostly love to get some tips about where to shop green teas online, how to make the right buys (whats a good grade and whats not), and the most important thing im trying to figure out right now is what should an amateur like me look into (which teas to pick or try).

thanks. looking foward to read your answers!
