So far ... Shincha Sae Midori from Yuuki-Cha. SweeTea is liking shincha while Wulong and Shincha visited the TeaTable.
Next up, a prelim tasting of Ceylon Adam's Peak White from GreenTeaLovers, a silver needle type white. This is my first tasting but pretty impressed so far ...

I write over at http://www.Teaviews.com and read various blogs off and on when bored or trying to find information on a specific tea. I rarely buy tea without reading about it/the company somewhere first, be it here on TeaChat or another blog.
Spent the morning planting my tomatoes, so now I'm relaxing with some iced Assam!

I don't have a tea blog, although I love to read them! I just don't have the time-- when I have the (rare) chance to get away from studying and go on Facebook, though, my "status" tends to be tea-related.
Started the day with some jasmine-green tea-oolong blend, currently drinking pu-erh with chrysanthemums. Happy/exhausted because I boxed up everything that I'm shipping home, terrified because I have a final tomorrow in multivariable calculus.
Oh well, studying nonstop = a great excuse to drink a lot of tea!!

I neither have nor read tea-blogs.
Yunnan Noir all day at work. Now heating up something else to have with dinner... Fukamidori is likely.

I occasionally read a few posts on tea blogs but I do not subscribe to any yet. Odd considering I read a lot of other blogs-- I guess I just haven't found a tea blog that really keeps my interest.
Sick day today, so spending a lot of time curled up in bed sipping chamomile-based herbal blends.

I enjoy reading teablogs and find them very helpful and full of advice for tea brewing but I don't have one myself. When I was researching yixing pots most info I found helpful came from teachat or tea blogs. Also if I want to try a new tea I like to check online for info and many times I get directed to tea blogs.
Recovering from a bad day last night, the vancouver canucks lost there series with chicago...so no cup this year
Day two with 2006 Guoyan Nannuo cake. I dont drink pu erh very often so its been a nice change of pace.

Last true tea of the TD, Yuuki Yutaka from Yuuki-Cha with Mrs. Chip, pretty good this time around, though I don't feel I quite hit the sweet spot brewing.

Re: Wednesday TeaDay 5/12/10 TeaBlog TeaDay?
I just started a tea blog a little over a week ago, along with a YouTube education tea channel. They're both just starting, but I'm very excited about them. I'll be sure to link to them once I have linking privileges (for the curious, however, you can check out my profile, search for Verdant-tea on blogger, or VerdantTeaChannel on YouTube).
I would love to start reading more tea blogs, and I'm looking forward to a time when I can look at all of the blogs linked and recommended here.
Drinking some 11 year old YaBao, and it's absolutely fantastic. I'm so pleased to have found two whole bricks of this, and can't wait to see what it'll be like in ten more years.

If you don't mind saying, where did you get the Jungpana estate FF this year?Victoria wrote:
Jungpana Estate Darjeeling in my cup this morning. In my opinion this is the best of the 2010 FF Darjeelings I have tasted.

No tea blog here, but I am feeling my way through keeping some tea records on my web site--particularly some comparative tea tastings--as a sort of a tea journal.
I do have a few tea blogs bookmarked, but I spend more time with tea discussion forums like this one. Not really a regular reader of any blogs.
Today was an odd teaDay: started with finishing off some of a nice dependable shu puerh (can't remember which one it was, now, a small sample) made yesterday for a long drive; my wonderful thermos kept it hot enough to start my day. Then on to some Yunnan Mao Feng green tea.
Can't imagine that reading my teaDays one after the other would be that interesting to a blog reader.
