Why do they need to be split? I'm not alone in enjoying and drinking both, and I prefer to keep track of fewer topics.

This morning, I just finished part two of a session with some Anji white tea (which is really green), and am about to enjoy some HonYama Zairai sencha to finish the morning tea session, in my new ROCK hagi.

+1 I'm also following the pu of the day thread, so prefer not to split the green thread.

Today's green was an educational session with Den's Gyokuro Sumei. I'm experimenting with brewing gyokuro in my small Tea Gallery gaiwan before I open the new gyokuros from O-Cha.

That would make it easy for everyone to follow this thread without having to juggle between the two.
Yeah Chip! You had better go through all 33 pages of posts sort and divide! :lol:

First time steeping sakura sencha, from O-Cha. Interesting, but not something I would buy again, unless I find a better way to brew it. Followed it up with a another successful Tsuen Otsuusan sencha from O-Cha. I also bought 2 different gyokuros, but I'm saving those until my gyokuro shiboridashi set arrives next week.

Inspired by Chinesepottery, my wife and I set out to forage wild tea in the woods by our house in Louisiana. No luck after a weekend of searching, but we'll get after it again next weekend. I'm sure we will be rewarded with a little persistence.
