Actually, I think there is a possibility that the great Monarch may have been more likely to consume green tea, especially early on in her 63-year reign. Any knowledgeable historians out there today?Ladytiger wrote:I'm confused, should I have black tea or oolong for Victoria Day?
A Norwegian and a Swede talking to each other in the IM at the moment. I love TeaChat!
I mostly buy from domestic vendors. That's the whole point of NYC. Everything is at your doorstep.
In my cup this morning, yuck! I badly oversteeped my genmaicha...because I was reading TeaChat and lost track of time.
Off to the pantry to pour it out and start over.

Brewing joy, happiness and green tea, like any good TeaWitch should!
I said international, because I counted Ito En as international, and most of my stuff comes from Japan anyway.witches brew wrote:I mostly buy from domestic vendors. That's the whole point of NYC. Everything is at your doorstep.
This morning's tea: 1 bowl of Banreko no Mukashi matcha, and 2 bowls of Organic Kaoru Matcha.
And of course, Fukamushi Supreme iced tea for work. I should say, it's really room-temperature rather than iced by the time I drink it, but that's even better, allows the flavor to sing...
It's Ti Kuan Yin in my new favourite cup. I would insert a bigger picture if I had an URL to it.

Drinking a "last scoop in the container" blend of Adagio's Green Orange Pekoe and their Citron Green.
Nothing to do with Queen Victoria, except that she might have been the type who liked a good spring clean.
Salsero, you may have to throw us a mediocre photo* or two, so that we don't begin taking you for granted!

*But is Sal capable of taking a mediocre photo? Zif!

Mostly domestic since I mostly buy from Adagio. But, I have bought from Den's a couple of times now. I just ordered one of the $19 Kokoro pots. I can't wait to get it. Although, it is smaller than I am used to so I am going to have to change my brewing habits at work. I just measured my pot at home. It is 40 ounces! 
I had no idea it was so huge. I have a feeling it is soon going to be relegated to iced tea only and I will have to get another Kokoro for home since this one is going to be used at work.
My cup is empty right now, but it did have Stash Pomegranate in it earlier.

Happy Victoria Day, everybody!
Incidentally, Queen Victoria was quite the hot babe when she was young...
...And also a bit of a party girl.
