Not very fanatical at all. If it's good, I don't much care where it's from.

Very little tea here in the past few days, as it's just been too hot!

Not very fanatical, as I am still exploring the range of teas available from different vendors; but definitely a fan of some vendors that have given excellent service and provided some eye-opening teas. I give them repeat business if I like what I'm getting.

Today, started with a nice Shincha from the OTTI round I, the Maeda-en, and moved on to a Fall Alishan Oolong from Norbu, mmmmm. Tea happiness.

I voted 'probably fanatical.' I have a few vendors that I like to order from, but I am still willing to try others - IF they have been recommended by someone here on TeaChat.

Not much of a tea day today, some Black Spiral from Tao of Tea this morning and a little bit of chai tonight.

Not very - I'm still branching out as far as vendors go, and there's an extremely short list of places from which I won't buy again (*cough*Teavana*cough*) :shock:

A large part of my motivation in going back to Paris this summer is checking out Hediard and Thes Donovan with my deeper knowledge of what I'm buying this time. >.>
