Why not just sign up to do a month, pick a month that is not taken. You can figure the tea out with a little help from your friends :wink:

March, April, June are the next three months available. Here is a list of months if anyone wants to see what months are available.

Hmmm, where are the pu heads so far. I thought I was going to try some pu-erh too.

I think so far...

January: Alex, Japanese Black
February: Salsero, Imen's DC oolong
March: Bhale, green pu-erh
April ?
May: Chip, Japanese shincha
June
July: Mary, ?
August
September
October
November
December...am I being too optimistic????

One thought: a Nilgiri at TeaSource. They are generally a good local, small tea seller, and I have had good DJs and Assams from them. The fact that they use the word "stunning" is what impresses me.

The price is also moderate. If you email them, they may be able to come up with some other ideas in that price range. Maybe even give you a discount if you mention that it's for a group tasting of tea snobs.

I mean, geez...if you're going to plagiarize, at least TRY to cover it up a bit!
Seriously, they didn't even bother to plagarize the Scruff McGruff image themselves! Making me do their dirty work...

....it is done!!!

Start a new topic asap to start a sign up and specific info about your tea tasting offering. Salsero did a good job of this. I would suggest an easily identifiable topic title.

Count me in!!!

April is still available for hosting!!! Then June, August.........

I call June, with Taiwanese oolong (the specifics are undecided for now). Also, is there any chance we could sticky the list?

[Edit: Actually, I don't know what I want to do yet. I'll get back to you]
