Really tough question if I may say so myself. 8) I hate asking questions I cannot answer ...

First answer that came to mind was Tea Brewer, seems a bit odd, but pretty true. I LOVE to brew tea, everything about it. I hope that never changes. I guess it is much like I love to cook, possibly more than I love to eat.

Began this TD with O-Cha Sae Midori brewed stronger than normal. SweeTea liked it strong, Pyrit and Wulong just hung.
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

Tea Drinker seems most accurate.

I chose Tea Addict because I feel that one encompasses the Lover, Student, and Geek in me!

I fall exactly halfway between "tea student" and "tea geek" :)

Now may family would say "tea addict"...the kids have a running bit about my addiction to "the leaf" and how it's all about the "pot" and how I'm so hooked that I even carry my "greens" around in baggies.

This morning Nilgiri Glendale in my cup and travel mug.

Have an awesome day, All,

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Tea speak heh...My friends are always messing with me about it as well.I was drinking snowbud one day and never heard the end of it.



I tried be honest, I am such a Tea novice. I don't know jack about tea yet.
But I am somewhat of an addict. I was soooo excited the other day when my new orders came in from O-cha, Zencha, Sevencups, and Camellia Sinensis....Jumping over the couch doing my tea call "BOOOOOOOGIIIEEEEE WOOOGAAAYYY!!!"

Tried to open the boxes with my trusty letter opener, so frantically that I broke it in half... But I still had the razor blade from the letter opener. So I carved into my o-cha box to smell the shinchaness resulting in me somehow cutting my finger. Guess I need to chill, haha.

probably some Nepal illam Fikkal for my first tea of the day

Tea lover, definitely. I'm a total addict too, and my friends and family would probably call me a snob.

About to brew up a second steep of some Kukicha from Den's.

Apparently I am trying to upgrade my status from Tea Lover to Tea Nut-Case. :shock:

I got my order from teafromtaiiwan, TeaHome, and Tea Emporium today.... 17 oolong samples, Castleton Moonlight, Puttabong 2nd flush, and Rohini Emerald Green Darjeeling. Wow!

Drinking some Da Yu Ling high mountain oolong from teafromtaiiwan right now... and I must say, it is probably the most naturally sweet oolong I've ever tried... very pale color, delicate aroma, classic buttery taste, alittle fruity, not very floral, and deliciously sweet. I look forward to more infusions to see how it develops.

***This organic blend is earthy & spicy, with a fragrant aroma & smooth flavor to captivate the senses. Naturally sweetened in the Kentucky sunshine & infused with natural energy. Equally delicious when served piping hot or crisply chilled.***

I voted tea lover. I do have days where I am a student because I love reading about tea and tea history. But for the most part I'm a lover. I just love tea and that is my reason for doing everything I do. Today I had some Moon Palace green from Cha Ma Gu Dao so I could test out my new yunomi from Chip's special offer. I am in love it :D

I said student because I took another Chaozhou class this week and felt like a total clumsy beginner.

Right now drinking 2000 Yong Pin Hao Yi Wu

Sarah, just tell people that you're opening a tea store! I think you have enough inventory. :)
