Monday TeaDay 6/29/09 Open tea satisfaction?

[Ebtoulson]

Good luck on that Calculus test, Ebtoulson!

Thanks...I think I at least made a B. Maybe an A if I cross my fingers.

I voted 80% satisfied. There are some that I really didn't like but am too cheap or stingy to throw away.

Irish Breakfast this morning at home. I didn't have time to get my water bottles filled so I probably won't have any tea until tonight. Although the flavored Jack in the Box iced tea isn't bad (Just occasionally - please don't ban me!) so I might get some of that today to get me through the day.

First in my cup this A.M.: adagio's Jasmine Pearls with some Peppermint leaves.
Now at work waiting for the water to get hot to brew Silver Monkey (white) that I got at Wing Hop Fung, and will add rosebuds, too.

85% here, but basically this. I'm also a bit lazy about clearing out my tea stash.

Wishing I could go back to sleep right now. There was a spider above my bed and I lost track of it...

[MASALACHAAAAIIIIII]

I would have to say nearly 100%, I haven't had anything absolutely horrible. All the teas I have tried lately have been REALLY good, but my palate isn't that complex...

I NEED TEA NOW, probably enjoy my last 5g of Nepal llam fikkal. My brain is completely fried from a 2hr physics lecture, still need to finish lab work also. Have a good teaday everyone!

I'm pretty happy with all of my teas except one oolong.
It's a jasmine oolong and it smells/tastes like I'm drinking a bottle of my great grandmother's perfume.
Everything else I'm working on is great. ESPECIALLY my new pu erh cake.

Golden Monkey today.

I am fully enjoying the nippon greens from a reputable dealer.
I am disappointed with one black from a bargain outlet type dealer.
But I am pleased with another black from the same dealer.
I am enjoying a quality black from my favorite organic dealer.
So, I choose .

I said 95%... think I have gotten rid of most of the completely unsatisfactory stuff. Goodness knows I need the space for new stuff. I still have a bit of somewhat mediocre stuff that I haven't discarded yet... it still makes passable iced tea.

I have so much to do today, I decided on matcha this morning... it is shaping up to be a 3-scoop kind of day, so I had a LARGE bowl of kiri no mori. Now I'm having some iced darjeeling, delicious! The heat wave here seems to have broken, thank goodness. Now I just have to get my shopping, laundry, and packing all finished today as I am going to see Mickey Mouse on Friday, and I work every day in between.

Pray for moderate weather in Orlando next week.

Began this TD with Gyokuro Suimei from Den's. SweeTea wanted some while Koi, Wulong, and Pyrit were just impressed with the Hagi gyokuro set.

I know I was impressed, as usual with our Vintage Hagi! And the tea was just delightful. My vote would coincide w/the Mod's, as I am relatively 'new' to all these teas and I have not had a bad one yet.

Up NEXT ...undecided, but it will be green.

oops, Sarah, I was posting while you were and I missed it ...
Done deal ...Pray for moderate weather in Orlando next week.

It's a jasmine oolong and it smells/tastes like I'm drinking a bottle of my great grandmother's perfume.

That's exactly how I feel about Jasmines. I just can't get past the perfume-y fragrance.

Sarah, I'll be hoping for decent weather for your trip - hope we'll get to see a pic of you and Mickey!

In my cup this morning LiShan from Floating Leaves Tea.
Typically LiShan hasn't been a favorite, but this Spring's
is just excellent!

Have a nice day everyone!

Couldn't ask for more moderate tropical weather in July - upper 80s-low 90s. Would be much hotter in a typical weather year.

Assam blend again in my cup.

[gingkoseto]

Probably 90%?
A few teas that didn't work well in hot water turn out pretty good in cold brew.
there are only 2 teas that don't work in whatever conditions. I don't know what to do with them.

[Victoria]

Wow Intuit, nice link! Looks hot all over.

Actually 82 is high for us this time of year, I guess
there is something to be said for being at work with
air conditioning.

Kame Jiriu Shi gyokuro right now. 100% satisfied!
