Friday is TeaDay 4/25/08

[Wesli]

Pu-erh, hands down. I will become better with age, live in harmony with bacteria, mold, and oxygen. Oolong, on the other hand, would have to be re-roasted, and you can't re-roast yourself.

[olivierco]

Kaburagien sencha right now, just before dinner.
A nice way to begin the week-end!

Still perplex about my answer to the poll, I guess "other" will be my choice.

[bambooforest]

Pu-erh. I would be pu-erh for reasons of longevity. Just don't make me drink that stuff!

[scruffmcgruff]

Shu puerh. I'm dirty and musty once I get out of my wrapper (my bed), and usually need an immediate rinse. Fortunately though, I have relatively little pond flavor or moldiness. I also have active bacterial cultures growing in me (gut bacteria).

Plus, I'm rumored to be good for digestion.

I think that overall, I'm a green tea...

which also happens to be in my cup right now.

(does this make me a cannibal?)

I agree Wes, very philosophical. I would have to say I am deff a pu-erh as well, as of late anyway. I'm anxiously trying to get into the world of pu which i know absolutly nothing about besides hearing everyone else talk about it

Right now I'm drinking some den's Bancha from a friend, seems pretty decent I guess, i'll be moving onto something stronger next...

[hop_goblin]

Although Puerh is my favorite tea, I still would have to say puerh since it has the longest shelf life and gets better with age!

Too funny (and kinda' gross, but I'll focus on the funny)

[Cinnamon Kitty]

After much thinking about this, I decided that I would be a green tea simply because I cannot stand overly hot temperatures and my favorite color is green.

My teas for today were White Tip Oolong, Tropical Green, and now White Blueberry thanks to Teasweetie. The White Blueberry is still steeping, but it smells divine and I really like the that there are actual dried blueberries in it.

[Chip]

My fav color has always been green...and if I am going to be green, I might as well be really green. Matcha...something about being whisked by 80 tine bamboo sounds interesting too...

Still drinking Sencha Gyokuro Blend...and it is still really really good.

[Beidao]

No idea. I'm too confused to know anything about myself. Anyway, I pick a pu'ehr, hoping that I will develop a lot those coming years... becoming an adult (and a tea-snob, of course)

Today I've been drinkning - 1 cup of herb tea and 3 cups of coffee

Gotta fetch my water boiler and go for some good tea...

[olivierco]

Darjeeling Namring SFTGFOP1 (2008, Mariage Frères). Very nice. Three steeps with the last one not weak at all.
I can't wait to have some other 2008 Darjeelings to compare.

[motokochan]

Not really sure how to answer the poll either. I just don't know enough about the different teas to place myself somewhere.

Today has just been a mug of genmaicha so far.

[RussianSoul]

I am probably Sencha. All my Zen training has to amount to something, I guess. I can be simple and I can be complex. I can be sweet, but have a good amount of bitterness (I call it black humor.) I have to be handled just right or I'll freak out and you'll be sorry.

Assam Boisahabi for my morning cup. Now considering some White Peony.

[tenuki]

I'd be a Long Island Iced Tea.
