Thursday TeaDay 6/3/10 The fave on, 5, none?

[LauraW]

I am no longer without internet! Although sadly, at the moment only one person in the house can be on at a time, since our router's broke and we have to hardline to even get internet. But it works, and we should have a new router tomorrow. And since I can't get TC at work, well... I'm back now.

As for a fave list, it's still morphing, but I'd have to say (in no particular order): Adagio's Snowbud and Yunnan Noir, and oolong both greener and roastier (but I haven't had enough to really bring it down to a couple types).

Today: Yunnan Noir all day at work, no tea when I got home because it was still nearly 90* out and I'd gone to work out right after work... so I was a little warm.

It was pretty cold and yucky here today, but I didn't mind, because it was very conducive to napping and drinking tea (which is what I wanted to do this afternoon, having gotten very little sleep ). Earlier, I made some bi lo chun, which I haven't had in a long time, and I just made some genmaicha, which I haven't had in a while (but not as long as the bi lo chun).

This really wasn't so hard. I just thought for a while about which teas I pine for most when they're in one place and I'm in another. Which Dan Cong to put down is a bit of a problem, because both the 'Po Tou' or Ginger Flower Fragrance and the Honey Orchid are fabulous, but I gave the nod to the Honey Orchid because there are times when I prefer the Honey Orchid to the more tempermental (but also more fabulous) Ginger Flower.

I haven't found a favorite sencha to fit with these yet, but it will come in time.

Thinking hard of which would be my favored tea. I love them all, blacks, wuyi, dan cong, tie guan yin, all Chinese. Keep on changing so not to blunt the flavor of a good tea. Could not imagine having black tea other than for breakfast.
