Sunday TeaDay 3/7/10 TeaGenerations?

[Ed]

Thanks, Kitteh! Yeah Magokoro is brilliant -- it was the first '09 shincha I had.

I enjoyed all the Yuuki-Cha teas I have had except a Gyokuro that has since been dropped and replaced in their line up, have not had the gyo replacement yet. I find you can add more leaf to all the Yuuki-Cha greens with positive results whenever they taste too light. I have already gone well above the 1 gram per ounce water mark which is rare for me with sencha. The nature of organics allows you to do this.

Korean greens were on the menu for the rest of the day. An Organic Gamnong earlier and then a lost name Korean green ... both from Hankook and both very good!

As far as drinking tea daily or drinking more than teabags then yes I am a first teageneration in my family. My grandma makes iced tea for holidays and other occasions. I started drinking tea because of my older brother but shortly after he introduced me to tea he quite drinking. Someday I will get him hooked again

I'm a Yes, Essentially, my grandmother and mother both enjoy the occasional cup of tea, and I guess they were my first push towards it, as I always used to make a very strong cup of Republic of Tea's Honey suckle White, and drink it non stop. Which I would not have done if my parents did not like to keep tea in the house.

But I am definitely the first in the family to fall head first down the rabbit hole.

I am a yes essentially. Many members of my family drink lipton iced tea, but that is the limit. i dont know anyone besides myself who drinks hot tea. Most of my family are coffee drinkers, maybe I would be too if it didnt upset my stomach.

Ha, I'm not quite sure how to answer this one.

My paternal grandmother got me started drinking tea when I was young, but I don't remember if she actually drank it with me; I just remember having it at her house. Although, my dad goes through so much iced tea in a day that I'm tempted to count that. I'd guess that my tea love comes from him, even though it took a different form.

My parents were coffee drinkers mostly. The only tea we drank growing up was sun tea since we lived in Southern California. I lived in Germany for a number of years and learned more about modern culture there. I met my wife who is a British expat with a very cosmopolitan, European view of tea (as opposed to a British perspective). There is a lot be learned from our European friends about tea!

Now I just feel that coffee is bad....
