Yes, that would be the one! The delicate white tea flavor is lost, but over all it's not bad, as you say.henley wrote:Was that the ginger orange peach white from NM Tea? I'm drinking it now. I tossed in a sugar cube {ducks} & it's not bad. Don't know that I'll reorder it, though.Victoria wrote:This afternoon I had a ginger peach white tea.
Waiting on the edge of my seat to see the results of the challenge!!!

I accept the challenge, but will have some POM juice nearby, just in case.

I'll post a quick one now and post better pictures of my cup when I have access to a better camera next weekend. At least I figured out how to use my camera phone, which does not give the glaze justice at all. The outside color is turquoise green and black speckle and the inside is a pale spring green. It has indents on either side for holding it. The cup holds a little over 5oz of liquid. I found at a local store that sells pieces by artists in the area for all of $6. The flowers in the brandy snifter are purple lilacs that I picked yesterday. In the cup is some Fukamushi Sencha Supreme. Not as pretty as Salsero's pictures but as good I could do for now.Victoria wrote:CK post your cup pic!!!

Ending this TeaDay on a cool note, Devites has posted a YouTube performance of his own piano solo tribute to Shincha. Worth a listen, guys. The portal lies below:

Looks good CK, you are a step ahead of me, I can't figure out how to get pictures off my phone.

All thanks to the Federation, by the way.Pentox wrote:We are borg. You will be assimilated and steeped.
It's a little-known fact that when Picard was assimilated, the entire Borg collective developed a sudden, overwhelming craving for Earl Grey tea (hot).

Is that why Chip has been putting bergamot in his shincha?chamekke wrote:All thanks to the Federation, by the way.Pentox wrote:We are borg. You will be assimilated and steeped.

Nope. You say it's unflavored? Most Monk's Blends have grenadine added to it and I hate that stuff so never even looked at the description. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up!henley wrote: Made a large pot of Monk's Blend Organic for bfast this morning. Everybody liked it so I will definitely be reordering. Omegapd, have you tried this one? It's got a very smooth flavor w/no bitterness. I got it from NM Tea.
