89 - just counted them :mrgreen:
Some are organized - most of them just in the folder "tea" (to be honest it is "Tee" :D) - I am to lazy to be well organized.
Genius masters Chaos. ;)

In my cup is a Ginseng Oolong I had a sample of.

IPT wrote:I have mine categorized by; Chinese Tea, Japanese Tea, and Korean Tea. I've got dozens in each one and they are organized by; tea ware, tea, artisans, and wholesalers.

So much tea ware, so little money!
Ditto for me! Just about like IPT has it pegged here. Tea is also broken out into Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, generalist etc

I have around 50 bookmarks that are tea related. The top 10 most visited are more accessible while the rest are split up into tea & teaware and filed accordingly.

2008 High Roast TGY from TeaMasters today. Really complex, also really easy to brew. :D

Just counted - 134

some in folders and some in subfolders and some just lying around next to foldersm or subfolders

This includes things like water storage, charcoal supplies, scales and other items which don't necessarily get sold by the vendor as tea items, but may be needed by me as part of my tea experience

Just over 40 links here. They are very loosely grouped (just sorted, not folders) by etsy tea ware links, vendors and blogs. All sorts of others in between. It is time to think about cleaning them up.

Last I checked, I had over 250. Probably more now.

I categorize first by purpose (tea blogs, tea information, tea sellers, etc.). Then my retailers category is sorted by ones I know nothing about, ones I'd buy from, and ones I wouldn't buy from. Then the "would buy" is sorted into type of retailer, such as "Japanese teas," "Mostly Teaware," "Pu-erh," and so on.

I've probably spent thousands of hours perusing the Internet to find basically every site about tea I can get my grubby hands on.

Sipping away at Steep 5 of some random poorly-labelled oolong :D

My bookmarks are totally disorganized. Fortunately my tea and teaware are better organized or all my tea would be stale by the time I found it.

In my cup this morning, Zao Xiang (Date Fragrance) Loose Puer 2008 from Seven Cups. It's like dessert compared to the raw puerh in the OTTI!

I have between ten and twenty bookmarks for tea, most of which are tea vendors. They're only organized insofar as my other bookmarks are organized (i.e., shopping, social/forums, news), though.

Lapsang souchong this afternoon, now drinking jasmine sencha.

Great to see how others categorize their bookmarks...giving me some ideas on how to better organize mine (thanks TubbyCow) :wink:.

At last count it was about 150. They are broken down into folders..Favorite Places, Vendors, Teaware, Active Orders, Wish List, Knowledge, and Blogs. Then there are many folders within each (vendors folder has 7 subfolders :shock: and some of those have subfolders :shock: :shock:).

Muzha TGY tonight. Needed something to calm me down after the Steelers game :D

89 bookmarks at the moment.

Categories: Vendors, reference, videos (random YouTube videos on making tea etc.), temporary (mosly for obsessive shipment tracking :mrgreen: and things I might possibly want to purchase in the future) and "unsorted" quick links to sites like TeaChat (of course!).

Enjoying Sencha Miyabi right now (it's Tuesday though ;))

I don't like making bookmarks for some reason....so that is actually the majority of my bookmarks(:
