It's okay, I guess. Mine is actually a mix of the Adagio and Upton ones. I couldn't tell enough difference between the two and wanted to use the Adagio sampler tin for something else.geeber1 wrote:
Omega, how do you like the Citron Green? I was surprised to find that I like it very much.
So far, the best flavored green I've tried from Adagio is the Apricot one. That's the only one I think I'll re-order.
More tea!
Its slow in the Pu of the day thread, so I will post here today.
2003 Jing Mai Round Cake * Tai Lian Tea Factory
Revisiting this tea with a Yixing rather than the Gaiwan today.
I pulled the amount of leaves back a g and increased the steep time a few seconds and are getting some good results.
I think I will buck the trend on this one and say its a keeper.

Holiday Cheer
I love a good cup of holiday cheer. I have to say, I will be drinking more tea as well. I drink it with breakfast and during the day. But now my roommate has just got her first tetsubin and every night I bring out a different tea for her to try. She has been an espresso drinker until now. She is so excited to enter the tea world. I just have to keep coming up with different things for her to try until she figures out what she really likes. Any suggestions?
I had some Iron Goddess with my tea this morning. Then I moved into my typical midmorning Dragonwell (it goes down easy and I just love using that pot, it has such a nice pour). Next will be onto some afternoon Genmaicha. Tonight I am introducing my roommate to some Dragon Pearl Jasmine from Fu-Jian. Good tea, good times.

I definitely feel the stress, I haven't even mailed my cards yet!
But most of my shopping is done, thankfully.
So I will have more tea I guess.
In my cup this morning Cucumber White from Vulture.
I am very surprised by this one. I only like a couple flavored teas
and I dislike cucumbers. But the cucumber makes this one feel
lively and sweet. A very unique taste. I like it.
Thanks Vulture.

What holiday stress? My Christmas shopping was completely finished in less than one day. I bought everything online!
Now I'm busy looking at stuff for me again.
I'm just finishing off a cup of Adagio's Coconut-flavoured Black, with a shot of milk to deal with the astringency.

I believe drinking tea makes me a better artist. But hey, I also believe I'm completely sane.

I will try to drink more tea. And do some extra shopping. 
Case and point, I went from being virtually sencha-less yesterday to receiving 3 orders and am now knee deep in the good stuff. 
Started the day with some Fukamushi Maki that arrived yesterday from Den's I need to work on the parameters a bit before I share this in a tasting. Sweetie approved, Koi and Gandalf were apathetic.
