Sunday TeaDay 3/01/09 Oldest tea in your house?

[brlarson]

Pu drinkers must have pu on their brains with this question. The question reads "purposely aged tea not included."

Yup. I, too, failed to read the question before responding, so my 1990s pu also has skewed your poll. However, I do have some bags of Taylors of Harrogate's English Breakfast that I bought in 2003 -- it started with 50 bags and there are 8 more, so I should be finished with it in the Spring 2010.

Mem Imports Dark Wuyi this morning, and I just turned my son onto Yutaka Midori a few minutes ago.

This would be a great marketing quote.

"Buy now and you won't be done with it until 8 years later!"

"Lasts a lifetime!*"

* = Lifetime of small mammals.

1998 Lincang CNNP puerh. Unfortunately, old pu is not necessarily great pu. I've found it lacking.

Well, chalk me for another who didn't read the poll correctly. I do have a few tea bags that are more than ten years old that I can't bring myself to throw away yet. I'm not going to explain why other than "sentimental value."

It kind of depends. Mabe a year or more to less.

My oldest tea is a 2004 Langhe LH7569 Pu erh tea brick sample from Puerhshop so I voted less than 5 I guess I didn't read the poll closely enough

Someone gave me some Rasberry celestial Seasonings teabags which were/are terrible, in fact the worst tea Ive ever tasted I think their about 2 years old and will probably age permenantly at a dump soon.

Earl Grey cream in my cup today

Wow, back from my tasting! It was great! This lady is Taiwanese and runs this little tea shop, selling mostly Bubble Tea, but oh my she does have the good stuff and I got a private tasting of her best AliShan. Her teaware was just amazing, so many beautiful things! I even met a nice guy there buying tea, that I gave our web address and invited him to join us!!

It was a great day! I also had my first Bubble Tea, it was actually better than I expected. I kind liked it.

I love bubble tea made from fresh fruit. But most bubble tea I had didn't have "tea" in it, no tea of any form

A different break from my norm kind of TeaDay. A good thing I suppose.

Had a shu pu-erh from one of many samples around here. Pretty good and makes me want to get moving on the other samples.

Then Silver Needle from Adagio, always a good solid performer.

Soggy leaf tea ending the TeaDay.

And I like bubble tea although I haven't had any in a long time.

This place did have the the smoothie kind and the original milky "Boba" kind and then green tea and added flavors. I had Green Tea Lychee. And as I said it was surprisingly good, and rather addicting.

Unfortunately I was so caught up in it all, I failed to realize the tasting with several sessions of two kinds of tea, followed by a Bubble Tea all starting after 4:00 PM, would keep me up till after 2:00 AM on a work night. Oy!

How fun!

You can search it out this summer!

It's more an issue of finding one that is vegan.
