Probably more for me. Even though my stash doesn't seem to
decrease at that rate.
Keemun Rhapsody to start my day, the last of my sample. I know lots
here like it, but I way prefer Yunnan Noir. Not on my re-order list.
Have a nice day everyone!

Thanks for the nice compliments, Gingko and Cherylopal. They go right to my head!cherylopal wrote:Beautiful pic salsero! Love dogwoods and that tea too. I have a big pink dogwood that I am so anticipating blooming- and I agree with gingko about the reflection of the flower in tea- you take great tea photos!!
Wow, from all your blog reviews and from your vast knowledge and experience, I would have expected you consumed a couple pounds a month!Pentox wrote: I figured 8 ounces or less, but it's really hard to judge.

I figure on average, 3 sessions averaging 5 grams, so 15 grams per day, 450 grams per month, by a couple grams I qualify for the highest option. 
Funny, last time I did the math, I was at 300 grams. Like a drug I guess, need more and more ...
Started the day off with Sencha Premier from Adagio. SweeTea enjoyed it. Pyrit, TEAh and even Ceylon stopped by to check it out.
Next up ...

blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!
Most of my reviews only use 5g. Past that I'm slow to finish stuff off. I get lots of stuff in small amounts and try it so my total amount is fairly low.Salsero wrote:Wow, from all your blog reviews and from your vast knowledge and experience, I would have expected you consumed a couple pounds a month!Pentox wrote: I figured 8 ounces or less, but it's really hard to judge.

I use about a spoonful of leaves per utiliTEA full of water, which I probably use four or five times a day. I have no idea how much that is in weight, however.
I voted for just over 100g per month I used to use over three times that but my body can't handle that much diuretic anymore.
I don't feel guilty drinking expensive or hard to find tea each day anymore and I plan to move to much smaller infusions once I have money to order a gaiwan and tasting cups...so I think overall it's actually better for my tea experience.

Mmm, what a coincidence. I just picked up 2 tins of Ippodo matcha at the post office: Kimmo-no-mukashi and Horai-no-mukashi, both based on Geekgirl's suggestions in the Green Tea Forum. Haven't tasted either yet.olivierco wrote:I have just opened a new package of Ippodo Kanro gyokuro. Very nice taste!
I haven't tasted them. I tasted the wakamatsu no mukashi /seiun which is my standard matcha for koicha and the ummon no mukashi which is only sold in 40g tins.Salsero wrote:Mmm, what a coincidence.
