Friday TeaDay 9/17/10 Crave Factor 2010 Black Tea?

[anijh]

Crave isn't the right word since I haven't tried any loose leaf black teas but I certainly want to try some. I received my Adagio starter kit (Ingenuitea and green sampler) on yesterday and brewed my first cup of loose leaf today. Yay!

It was the Casablanca twist -- I liked it.

Good stuff! One of my favorites...

I drink black tea nearly everyday. It's at the top of the "crave factor" for me. I was raised on drinking Ceylon with saffron or lemon. Absolutely wonderful. I pretty much love everything on the black tea spectrum.

Even though I love black, fugian jasmine pearl is in my cup today

Answered the craving this 'morning' (slept in!).
Jungpana Estate Darjeeling 2010. ZOMG! Soooo good!


Cheers.

Like 'em, but it's been awhile. First flush Darjeeling, maybe, when all the amazing greens and oolongs are gone--except by then the cupboard will probably be full of new(er) arrivals. Still...one of these days, again, maybe.

It's been a green day so far--Longjing and some mecha, which is becoming a bit of a guilty pleasure. Probably some first-rate sencha coming on soon.

9, because I love love love Yunnan. Rose congou is another favorite, and Keemun is pretty okay.

Oh my gosh, and Lapsang Souchong!!! I almost forgot. (How?!)

Rose congou earlier this afternoon, cold-brewed black iced tea this evening, currently drinking hibiscus tea.

I am going with 5, not craving the blacks, but I surely do like them! Almost craving Keemun and Darjeeling.

Began the TD with mystery sencha, SweeTea liked the mystery while Lili and Wulong just said show me the treats. Followed by another mystery sencha, and finishing with yet another mystery sencha.

Sencha, sencha, sencha ...

Oh and many thanks Brandon and Seeker for coloring our Teaday.

Hey Chip, are we going to get a tally for the week of which variety of tea garnered the highest crave factor?

Good idea! I will give it til Monday.

10.
Partially because I'm a caffeine addict and also because I feel like I can't go wrong with a black tea. With other teas if it has a fruit in the mix it's most likely going to taste really bad to me, but with black tea it's just fine. Black tea tastes great with anything.

7 for me. I love blacks, especially Hongcha. It's pretty cheap to get a decent quality Hongcha as well.

I chose 7, definitely crave black teas, especially in the morning. Have been enjoying vanilla black tea with my co-workers, am getting them into loose tea now.
