Still not feeling right, so, I think another tea is in order. I am continuing with greens. Chinese or Japanese???
Andy, are you drinking all Pu-erh these days?
dotKing, funny teapot story...gong fu takes time and practice. I personally go semi gong fu.

I'm trying Might Leaf African Necture (Rioobos) at the moment. I can't stand the smell of it so I have a glass a water right next to my cup just in case I really don't like it. Here goes nothing! It's better than the rioobos that I first tried, I still can't bring myself to say that I like it, too much of a sweet smell, unless that's just the flavoring the added.
I was poking around teafrog the other day, putting things in my cart that interested me and pretend to check so find out how much shipping would cost. Well, I got an e-mail from the owner asking if there was anything wrong or if I was just browsing

Most Rooibos are pretty bad smelling IMHO.Ladytiger wrote:I'm trying Might Leaf African Necture (Rioobos) at the moment.

Much nicer things to try.

I can't believe I'm almost out of Rum tea and Foxtrot! I definatly need to get bigger tins of those. Is it me or do those Adagio sample tins give you more than 10 cups?
Sounds delicious, who's the vendor?Chip wrote:Yep, Pentox, Takumi sencha from the land of Yame...and yessssss, Tenuki....grassy, yet deeper tasting, awsome sencha.
Oh and for my cup today, it is a sad sad tealess day. And yet i'm staring at a bag of silver needle and yellow tea. And yet i lack something to brew it with.

Tried adagio's decaf peach tonight with hubby after dinner. He liked it; I wasn't that fond of it. I found the peach to be too suttle. Also, I think I'm enjoying the green teas better than the black. I'm still glad I bought the little samples, though, from adagio! Perhaps I'll enjoy the black teas better iced.
Yeah, i'm out of town on work. Hence why i'm trying to find a good method of travelling with some tea.Victoria's Own wrote:Oh, now that is just not right!

Some second steep amber oolong for me. Hope it doesn't keep me up!
