I drink far more tea than water.

Today I've only been having Feng huang dan cong mi lan xiang - but I've had a lot of that and am having more immediately! I so love this tea :D

Am bying lots of tea as soon as I get my salary. Am deciding if I should have "Formosa Pao Chung" (Pouchong) or "Dung Ti Oolong". Anyone have advice? Will definitly be bying Sencha and Kukicha. And maybe a gaiwan or two. Oh and I need more pu.

What kind of tea do you think Vader would drink :?:
Can he drink? I think he might need a straw -
Maybe he's a MATE MAN???
Oh no!

Houjicha karigane with my dinner and I guess some Kanro gyokuro later in the evening.

By the way, Darth Vader isn't able to drink any tea, that is the reason why he is so cruel.

Yikes, now I have the song "Macho Man" in my head, except with MATE! :roll:

That explains so much! We'd all be pretty mean without tea. :)

Well, I don't know... but I do know which tea is preferred by Voldemort, the Dark Lord:

Oh, that song is actually Matcha Man. You can find your own YouTube for that.

I swear all I took was the glass, not the teapot that was made out of it.

Water is number one around here. Then tea. Used to be milk, but I'm drinking (a little) less of that these days.

White tip oolong today. Too much green lately. 8)

I voted yes. My beverage consumption goes like this: water > tea > homeroasted coffee > soy milk > fresh pressed juices > super-funk beer. I LOVE my beverages!

Sippin on some of Hou De's 2007 Spring FengHuang Lin-Tou DanCong "Mi Lan". What an amazing dancong! I'm getting lots of CITRUS/HOPPS/honey/orchid in the aroma and it translates well, albeit not as forcefully, to the taste of the brew. There's also a quality to the smell and taste of this tea that I'm grasping to understand. It's very familiar but I can't quite place it.

cheers
