[iannon]

ok..this somewhat changes depending on seasons but in general:
Sencha
Gyo
Greener Taiwanese Oolongs (Li-Shan then Ali-Shan, Shan Lin Xi. long feng xia)
Matcha
Chinese Greens (Lung ching, bi lo chun)

some of my specific favs right now?
Maiko Kinari sencha
O-Cha's Warashina
Yamashita Gyokuro
ishopo or TFT's Long Feng and Wu Ling Li Shan

[Amaikokonut]

I'm also still in that "trying everything" phase of my tea-life and don't really have any clear cut favorites (but I am finding myself very,very fond of greener oolongs, moreso with every cup).

[teaisme]

still haven't explored very much yet, but as of now...

Like iannon based on season,
Taiwan high mountain teas, dong ding, baozongs (green or not I like both) when its not too hot outside
Sencha and other japanese greens when it is

Drinking some jing daily keemun mixed with their Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong (lapsang sou.) at work. Nice black tea mix esp for the low price. Yuuki's uji houjicha up next.

Clear cut favorite type of tea is black. No surprise there, eh?

Mariage Freres Marco Polo
Adagio's Masters Yunnan Gold is moving up fast. I had that yesterday and this morning. Don't know what I'll choose for this evening.

Drink what you like, like what you drink. But always be open to trying new teas.

Definitely; I've moved away and don't get the discount anymore. I'm looking forward to stocking up on new teas when I run out, especially after I get out to Korea.

Finishing the TD with Asatsuya from Yuuki-Cha.

Actually, I have been talking to the techies about adding some new emoticons ... this will be a cool upgrade.

[aya_s]

Sweet! Can we have the Mr. T smiley?

Mid-August, and I can't wait!

I had two cups of green chai this morning and a few cups of raspberry-strawberry oolong with jasmine pearls.

Right now in my tea-career, Pu'er is what I drink 75%+ of the time. I crave long sessions with a tea that will develop & change during my time with it. Pu'er fits that bill quite nicely. So I guess that's my fave, although I do drink other teas and enjoy them. I have yet, however, to enter the realm of Japanese greens. This will be fixed soon though as the Den's sampler is currently in transit!

Tea can be quite the addiction.

Ending the day today with some TGY from Hou De. Excellent!
