Re: Monday TeaDay 1/3/11 New year, new tea?
I've tried a few new ones already and have more to go/more on the way. Mostly greens and oolongs as always though want to get more into pu'erh and give whites another shot in the coming year.
Re: Monday TeaDay 1/3/11 New year, new tea?
No new teas yet this year, but seriously wondering what this Tea Year will bring. Wondering if I'm going to stick with Japanese Greens, switch back to mostly Roasted Oolongs, or if it will be a year of going in a different direction.

Great TD so far ... great TeaYear too. Today began with Organic Yama No Ocho from Umamai-Chaya with the Mrs. followed up with OkuMidori from TeaGallery.
Re: Monday TeaDay 1/3/11 New year, new tea?
I've already tried one, the Sencha Fuka-midori from Dens Tea. This year I plan to try lots more of Sencha from different regions of Japan. Also, I want to buy some more teapots and cups.

Shared a sample of puerh with my gf on the 1st was the Manmai from OTTI 5 which I hadn´t tasted yet, so I think that counts as new tea 
Had some High Mountain Oolong from DavidsTea today another new tea for the new year...nice sweet and floral but a bit generic like the name

I've had an unidentified, vaguely floral (but not floral-flavored) green and some Silver Needle for the first time thus far this year, both of which have been amazing!!!!
Rose congou this morning, currently drinking my third cup of mugicha.

No new teas yet this year, have so many from last year to work through. My teacup runneth over. May run out of sencha in time for next year's shincha order, if all goes well.....
So far this year, favorite oolongs (a dark roast and a light green TGY, both from Norbu), and today some phoenix oolong from Wing Hop Fun and some Ya Bao camellia buds from Norbu.
Tomorrow morning will be waiting for a service visit that might give an excuse for a bit of a morning sencha session....

Already tried two new matcha this year; organic Den's and organic Kaoru Supreme from O-Cha. I am liking both so far. Also had a new black, French Breakfast from MF. The tea was actually bought while in Paris in October, so technically it's not a new tea.
Monday's matcha was Honzu from Postcard Teas.
