Monday TeaDay 9/13/10 Crave Factor 2010, today Pu-erh?

[LauraW]

I must say I haven't had Pu erh, so I don't crave it, but I don't dislike it.

Four Season Spring all day today - was in our home office, so I was refilling my thermos all day. Not ideal, but I'm not there often enough to have any type of "set" there.

[Skippyandjif]

10 for me! I love me some pu-erh, hahaha.

Sadly, no pu-erh today... I did have keemun this afternoon, then some iced green tea. Just finished off some delightful pouchong.

[DoctorD]

I never got the memo about pu-erh; the few I've tried have left me indifferent to, well...just not my cup of tea.

Taking a break from shincha today--Longjing most of the day, trying to finish off an old stash, some Tung Ting oolong just a bit ago for a chance of pace.

I like how there's a nice bell curve at the low end, and then a spike of pu'er addicts at the top.

(I voted 4. Maybe I'll crave them when I try more.)

Wow, great shot Jeikun! Really coming to life. Is that Shigaraki wan?

The sencha is a possible OTTI tasting, so for now ... I cannot say. But it is Uji-cha as well.

THANKS the cup is a Chawan got it from a small tea shop out here in Yokohama Japan. Cant go wrong with Uji-Cha

Ohhh, you are in Japan, how fortuitous! Stop by the TeaCave atop Mt. Fuji some time (not really, just a figment of my imagination).

I prefer "pu-heads" myself.

I am a pu-head, you are not yet a pu-head, they will become pu-heads when we complete our plan for world domination.....

Another sweet shot.

So, you are "Western" living in Japan?

How about introduducing yourself under Introductions?

[nickE]

I said 9, I do crave it more than any other tea, but I can also go without it for a while (though I usually choose not to ).

Enjoyed a session of 2007 Mengku Muyechun today with microwaved water as the kettle is undergoing emergency surgery... Still turned out great.

Oh and Jeikun: nice pics, amazing view!

The pu calls to me.

[tropicanahana]

No! Maybe I have not tried a quality pu-erh but the one I bought tastes like fish haha! I tried a couple at a tea shop - It seemed like an aquired taste to me. And I drank an iced strawberry pu-erh (on empty stomach)- it made me sick T_T

After you insulted it with strawberry flavoring, the pu was fully justified in making you sick!
