Just opened another one today

I actively drink them all, and certainly the oolongs more than others. A TeaDay could focus on one tea, but more often it's about enjoying 3+ different ones.

New toys from Red Blossom Tea! Dark finish sandalwood personal tea tray, sandalwood gongfu tools, red cotton linen cha bu on an (old) red cotton napkin, and small wood trivets for tasting cups. It really is a personal tray, measuring 10"l x 5.5"w x 1.5"h and having 10 oz. waste water capacity. Could be 12 oz, but that's pushing it, and literally pushes the top up enough that it sort of floats around. That's Fu Shou Shan in the cups.

I'd say 100%-- I rotate my teas. I have a lot of teas open at once, but they each have their turns. Also, my friends help me out.

Chrysanthemum pu-erh this afternoon; currently sipping on some chamomile.

Really hard to say, because what I drink is pretty changeable. Some favorites get brewed more often than others, but things get pushed to the back of the cupboard for a while, or get stored in places where I only hang out and brew tea here and there, so are seemingly neglected but frequently brewed when there. But fundamentally I have too many teas "open" at once (all those puerhs!), although I've got the greener oolongs & senchas down to just one or two at a time.

Settling on 70% for no good reason at all.

And today's teaday has been a basic, pleasant shu pu, 2006 Haiwan 'Peacock Quest' Tea Brick by Norbu.

Running pretty low at the moment, so I'd say probably 70%. There are a couple I save for special occasions, and I'm not counting the ones that I don't like that we keep for my roommate.

Bagged green tea today that was given to me as a gift. Not too bad, considering it's in a bag.
