Thank you for coloring our TD, Victoria.
I also voted the top 10%. Pretty amazing how satisfied TCers are with their vendors!!! Can you imagine such high satisfaction ratings throughout our purchases ... not likely! Still, it is amazing how satisfied we generally are, yet so many of us, myself included, are always looking to try other teas from other vendors.
Began the TD with a tasting of O-Cha Fuushun and then a tasting of Den's Yame with DW. Finished up the TD a tasting of Zencha Fuji SP.

Try Reed's Ginger Brew for an excellent Ginger Ale soft drink. Not only do they have an original, but they have an extra ginger version too! Little bit on the pricey side, but it is delicious stuff.subdude1 wrote:Ginger ale the soft drink, or ginger ale the beer?

As for ginger beer, makes me wish for a Moscow Mule served in a copper cup. Yum!
My tea vendors have been great in the past 6 months. I can't think of any lately that I have been disappointed with. The current highlight was an order that I made early December from the New Mexico Tea Company where I ended up with an extra 4oz of Earl Grey added to my order for free just because my order was delayed a few days due to out of stock teas. The other highlight was my first order from Floating Leaves Tea. The 2008 Oriental Beauty that was on sale for an awesome price turned out to be a fantastic tea.
I am enjoying a nice cup of Blood Orange Rooibos before sleep.

Victoria thats such a nice teacup, I love teacups with colorful outsides and white inside to really bring out the color of the tea. Too bad its the last of your Wenshan Baozhong Oolong but on the other hand if we never ran out of teas then we couldn't ever move on to new ones

Top spot aswell.
The only thing that gets me is when there aren't any extras in with the order. I'm really satisfied when I've got all the tea I asked for plus an extra 7g of something random.

Soft drink. It's very tasty, and quite easy (but does require patience to leave it alone for 48 hours).subdude1 wrote:Ginger ale the soft drink, or ginger ale the beer? Either way, sounds really tasty!

Generally excellent satisfaction with my tea sources lately. I was particularly impressed by the follow through from Jing Tea when my first order from them was not delivered (needed a signature) and was returned to the post office--they notified me so that I knew to pick it up and start enjoying the delicious teas inside.
Today, I've enjoyed some Fukamushi Sencha from Dens Tea, and now am working on some White Bud Sheng Puerh from Norbu (and am another cup closer to buying several more beengs, because I love it so).
