Bummer, Geek ...

I rated it near perfect 9, could have said 10, but I hesitate a offering a perfect 10, want to leave room for improvement, ya know!?!

Began a great TD with en experiment, some Oku Yutaka and Hatsumi, both from O-Cha. I am convenced the Oku Yutaka would make a great blender (and great on its own). Wow, I was right, really great together and they are so different! This makes this tea an even greater value since it can be used so many ways. SweeTea joined in as usual while Fuji and Ceylon just visited the TeaTable ...

Next up, a tasting of Zencha Fuga LE.

Great TD!!!

10 because its my best tea year ever, mainly because it was my first with good loose leaf and finding this forum made it the best. I found my 2 favorite teas so far in my tea journey this year and am very excited about next tea season.

earl grey today

Carmelia Sinensis Gopaldhara in my Fred Parker cup this morning.

Then some matcha this afternoon. Now wondering what I can have next that won't keep me up.

Rated the Year a 9, like Chip I left room for improvement, but I do say it was rather spectacular.

Nice Tenzopan, Adam, thanks for coloring TD. I just saved a few pics of the set for future HagiReference!

Some Mugi/genmai san Cha in a Chicago Potter cup currently.
