Found hot cross buns at Panera! Hooray!

That and a cup of Mariage Freres Marco Polo black made my day! :D

Oolong, generally. Maybe Rishi's TGY. It smells so good.

Finishing up a cup of Den's sakura sencha right now. Still tasty cold!

Kame Jiru Shi gyokuro this evening.
Sooo, no 2 weks without tea after all? Or don't tell me that 2 weeks flew by that fast?

Glad to hear it, life's simple pleasures can make you feel younger ... or not as old. :idea:

Oolong!

Hou de's 90's select nan tou was the favourite over the past month or so. Unfortunately I've finished it and it doesn't look like Guang has any left either :cry:

Chip, it does not take much to make me happy. :D Tea, a seasonal treat or two (especially ones from childhood), a visit from a grandchild, or an old friend.

Well... My best tea of March was the ones I brought with me on vacation...

Why you ask?

Because a possum died under my house while I was away and it's the only tea I have that wasn't sitting in the smell of decomposition for a week.

Aside from my genmaicha, all was lost. :evil: :evil: :evil:

I restocked my Yancha supply, which was a wonderful change of pace, and hopefully in a month I'll be drinking up Shincha

Just got back from a vacation in California with the in-laws, and this is my first cup in four days. So I'd say this is the best cup ever, and it's a cruddy, cheap genmaicha from the grocery store.

Mmmm...

I experienced a lavender tea that was delicious. For me, it was easily the most interesting and tasty tea of March. :D

My favorite of the month was a black - no big surprise! Nilgiri Nonsuch Estate to be exact.

I just got my order from Tao of Tea so I'm sure April's favorite will be a black ... or maybe the Matcha that I ordered!

Right now I'm absolutely loving a cup of Mao Feng Noir from ToT.

most surprising and splendid tea this month was the anji white tea I scented with citrus flowers......a wow.

But today started sencha, then moved on to smoky earthy white bud puerh goodness.

I wrote about two days (or intended to at least). No stitches this time.

Ohhh, you may have said 2 days. Well, glad to see you are back to brewing regardless! :mrgreen:

Let's see, mystery O-Cha sencha earlier, then a tasting of Rishi Silver Needles.
