My teadays are much better. I've added matcha and several yixings to my tea repertoir this year so I have a lot to look forward to. Got a shipment from Dragon Tea House today; new yixing, tie guan yin and a gaiwan set. The yixing is seasoning as we speak :D

I would say much better since I just started really drinking hot tea. I am finding out what I was missing out on.. :wink:

Just got my Adagio order in tonight - yay! Going to bust open the green anji sample... I don't typically like Chinese greens all that much but it just looked too pretty to not try. :)

My TeaDays are definitely better this year so far. I didn't have any Yutaka Midori at this point last year nor did I have all the awesome oolongs from the box pass and various other delectable teas that are currently in my drawers. I had loose teas, but not ones that are as stellar as some of the ones that I have been drinking lately.

I just finished a nice session of YM after spending the afternoon driving home from an overnight at Grandma's house.

Interesting TeaDay that was also great. Kabuse from Yuuki-Cha which is a very interesting sencha indeed. And finally Sencha Premier from Adagio.

I am enjoying reading everyone's posts as usual.
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

My teadays are definitely better. I've learned a lot about brewing, I've become more active here on Teachat, and I've got many new things to try.

Started my day with my fairly usual Ginseng Green from Adagio, in a travel mug at school. Wasn't as good as usual, I forgot to cool the water as much as I should have and it was kind of bitter.

Working through my latest order of samples from Adagio, tried Darjeeling #12 for the first time today. On a resteep right now. I love the color and flavor of this tea. Typically I sweeten my teas, but I'm trying to get away from that. This tea didn't require it though, and I felt like it would be a shame to add sugar to this. I think I'm now in love with Darjeelings...

My tea days are about the same, but I expect them to improve.
