Chinese oolongs in general. I re-stocked several in the last month.

Been really loving some Bai Hao this evening.

Sounds boring...but it's a "new" Ceylon black tea.

And it rocks my world!

Brew what you like, like what you brew! :mrgreen:

Liked what I brewed today ... a prelim tasting of Miyabi from O-Cha, next up Sencha Premier from Adagio, and Master's TGY also from Adagio with the Mrs. ... finishing off with Happy Tea from Maiko ... makes me happy.

My newest tea is a free gyokuro kin sample I got in my Den's order. I'm rather enjoying and feeling resourceful sipping my 2oz steeps out a shot glass.

Drank about 12 wonderful steeps yesterday of 2010 Fall Shan Lin Shi Oolong from TeaMasters. This is tasty stuff, thick, fruity, long-lasting huigan.
