Chinese New Year 1/26/2009 Chinese tea today?

[Chip]

Chinese TeaPartay in 30 minutes ... or just all day! I will certainly enjoy a Chinese tea or two today! Although I drink mostly Japanese teas currently, my TeaRoots run deep, all the way to China.

However, started the day with Fukamushi The Ultimate from Zencha, not bad, but is it the ultimate??? Pretty bold statement for a name. SweeTea enjoyed it, Pyrit, TEAh, Ceylon were casual observers only. Lil' Bit was planted by the heater as usual and could not be disturbed.

Not really celebrating it by changing my tea. If I happen to drink a Chinese tea, it will be by happenstance.

Now to go to bed!

Oh yeah! I will be celebrating Chinese New Year's with Chinese tea... you bet. In fact, someone at my workplace has anonymously donated some Mao Jian to the office kitchen, so I may start with that

Incidentally, not only did I also celebrate Japanese New Year (January 1) with matcha, I am even thinking of commemorating Tibetan New Year (February 25) with butter tea... maybe

Ahhh, Chamekke, what is 'butter tea'? sounds utterly delish

Brewing right now for the TeaPartay in a few minutes!!!!!!

Recipe right here. Warning: it's not for those on a diet. But it's tremendously warming and also quite filling.

(And you definitely don't need a butter churn to make it! A blender or even a hand-held whisk will do the job nicely.)

Thank you kindly Chamekke, I try to stick to a pseudo SouthBeach fare for food, however, because I am usually sooo good, I can splurge and I know I will with this. Also, I tip the scales at a bit over 105

Sal, love that cup

I was thinking this would be made with yak butter?

So, for the New Year ParTay, I had Keemun Conterto from Adagio and checked out the Gaiwan contest. I seem to have a black tea buzzzz.

My party teas were a Yin Zhen white from Upton, followed by a song zhong dancong from Jing.

[Ryoruki]

I celebrated this morning with a cup of Yunnan Gold, mmm!

Happy Chinese New Year :3

i only wish i had snacks to accompany my tea~~

[Victoria]

It's the Korean new year too, anyone drinking Korean tea today?

That's a great idea, since I started my morning with Bai Mu Dan from Lupicia,
my next tea will be my new yellow tea from Hankook.

Have a nice day everyone!

[Trey Winston]

I drink Chinese teas most days. And I did today! Specifically, White Symphony.

[olivierco]

No celebration for me.

I still drank this evening some Keemun Mao Feng Imperial, real good stuff.
Otsuusan sencha in a few minutes.

I was born the year of the ox

Black tea right now before I head off to work. Then I'm sure I'll have some chinese tea when I get home. Happy Chinese New Year!

[ErikaM]

I hadn't thought about it until now, but I happened to start with long jing this morning, so I guess I am. I'm currently sampling Adagio's emerald needle, although I think I'll switch back before long. Not sure the emerald needle is my thing.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Wait a sec. Is that the same Keemun that costs 29 € ( =$38 ) for 100 grams? Is it really that good? Is there anything else from Le Palais des Thés that is a must have item?
