This forum then vendors, most everything else is minimal.

Starting the day with a Sumatra Barisan Oolong Classic. Strange name for a Taiwanese green oolong sold by a company in Ann Arbor. You can probably guess how it is. Ummm yeah.

My favorite source of tea information is this forum-- I like to get multiple opinions about teas, and on forums, the variety of opinions is greater.

Very, very busy weekend-- I was moving in to my dorm-- but everything is all settled now, and I am drinking some lovely pu-erh. :mrgreen:

Naturally the answers here will be biased towards forums. I started with good grounding in a couple of books, then forums and vendor sites began to make sense. Still learning from every source I can.

In me thermos today, more white bud sheng 2007. In a pu mood now.

Thanks Chip and Geeber for the Anniversary wishes! After I threw out the morning's swill, I had some 2010 Boazhong from Hou De.

Sunday was an interesting TD with great tea. Lots of sencha and then finished the TD up with the 5th prelim tasting of OTTI #5. This time it was 2005 Nannuo Mt from TheMandarinsTeaRoom.com, aka TIM. I really enjoyed this young sheng, a good drinker now.
