In my cup this afternoon Royal Phoenix Oolong from Tao of Tea. Ok, but not really my type.

Definitely a black tea and most likely more than one. I need to reorder some Organic Monk's Blend and Irish Breakfast as I am out of both. I've been drinking Masala Chai for breakfast lately and as delicious as that is, there is a part of me that would rather have a plain black tea first thing in the morning. I'd also like to reorder at least one of the Darjeelings from the Lochan tasting but I can't quite decide which one(s) to order. At the moment, I am debating between the Thurbo, Jungpana Imperial Muscatel and the Castleton. I may just end up with all three eventually.

I finished off my bag of Earl Grey this evening by sharing it with a new friend. She had never had loose leaf tea before but very much enjoyed it.

Oolong. TKY from Hou De. I had ordered it twice before. Just before I ran out of the second order, I reordered it. This time I bought a pound :D and if I had the cash, I'd order more. After 8 years of drinking oolongs, this is "the one" ...so far :wink:

Started the TD with a local source Yunnan Gold (my "morning" tea), followed by Dancong at work (brewed in a stainless steel travel mug...I Do Not recommend this method, but glass/porcelain vessels are too fragile for my work environment), and now drinking the previously mentioned TKY. That's a really good TD for me :D

TierOne, really nice avatar!

2007 Winter Zheng-Cong Mu-Zha Tie Guan Yin. Really digging the heavier roast on this one. Thinking about putting a few ounces aside for re-roasting in a few years, but doubt if I'll have the will power to not drink it :wink:

Yeah, I saw that one, I prefer lighter roasts myself. I just found two Hou De unopened bags from 2007 vacuum sealed, I wonder what those will be like. Probably will need roasting.

The last tea that I finished and plan to reorder was Tea Gallery's Yame gyokuro. This will strictly be for special occasions as the cost is rather dear, but this tea is exquisite.
