I really liked FF darjeeling Risheehat 09 from Camellia Sinensis. I AM DEFINITELY going to reorder soon! Some shinchas are up there as well(YM!).

Not sure what tea to have yet, probably a black tea, maybe CASTLETON MOONLIGHT! And some crunchberries with milk, Crunchatize me el capitan!

Everyone have a schweet tea day!

Same for me a new favorite from Camellia Sinensis, 2009 FF Darjeeling Oolong. Fantastic. I am also very much enjoying my first Japanese black from Yuuki-Cha.

In my cup this morning an old favorite, Neela from ToT.

Have a nice day everyone!

New found love for Blacks-- Yunnan in particular. If I were to give a #2 it would be jasmine... big surprise fave for me-- I didn't like it at first.

[color=navy]*cautiously tests out new board*

Yunnan teas have become my favorite in this last year.

OK...WHY is this not doing my post in color?[/color]

I think I'm developing a taste for whites. I can't get over the pure, clean taste, not to mention the visual beauty of both the furry tips and the pale liquor.

That said, I'm loving the Baozhong I'm drinking at the moment.

No new favorite for me. I have developed an appreciation for roasted TGY, though.

(BTW, this is the same old leiche as always. I had to re-register because my account got lost in the shuffle of the forum upgrade.)

I think I'm going to need quite a lot of tea today, as I awoke earlier than intended and am groggy.

I don't know if I would say it's my favorite, but definitely enjoyed researching, selecting, and experimenting with Pu erh. This year though, I've discovered great teas in all categories.
I feel lucky that we live in a time where teas are readily available. It would have been disappointing to live in one of those periods in time where tea was not available to the common person, at least not available at any price I would be willing to pay.

I've been trying lots of new teas, but haven't found a new favorite yet.

Yunnan (from a TeaSwap, I think it's from Yunnan Sourcing) at home this morning with breakfast, and here at work, I'm having some iced Genmaicha.

I don't seem to have the bold, color, etc. options yet, is everyone having this problem?

OK, hopefully all is well in TD.

Someone post a photo please! BTW, photo size limits are now in place. 640 pixels wide!!!

It appears the corrections are not retroactive unfortunately.


There are A LOT more settings under the new admin. Yikes.

Checking other forums for similar glitches now. Any known posting glitches????

I always resize to 500, so that works.

So glad the bbcode is back in teaday. :)

Getting ready to set up the new hagi and give it a test drive. I'm still laughing over the teeny tiny cups, and I have one of my regular size hagi teacups as standby.
