Slovenian tea drinker

by Domn » Jul 11th, '09, 06:03

Hello everyone!
My name is Domen and I come from Slovenia (EU-Central Europe). I am 19 now.
Slovenia isnt very well known, maybe only because of our wines, which is sadly our national drink (we even do not have excise for wine...it is categorised as food).
But i dont like wine so I began to drink tea about 2 years ago and started with my local tea shop.
I wont forget my 2 first loose green tea choices. I bought sencha yamato and lung ching.
Both of teas were very good, so I really didnt know which is better. But gradually i become more fond with sencha so i decided i would buy my first kyusu.
Time flew by and i drank that sencha yamato, which was at that time quite good. Than i noticed e-shops that sell teas. At first i saw O-cha.com and wanted to buy YM. Unfortunelly i Wasnt 18 at that time, so i didnt own my Mastercard :( . But i convinced my mom that she would lend me her mastercard. I never ordered with credit cards via internet before.... :oops: I was kind of uncertain what will happen, but i recieeved my YM, which was superb! I threw away that crappy sencha yamato and started to drink better senchas. So my quest of finding good tea brought me here on this wonderful forum. I even opened my own little forum, which is only in Slovenian language thou.
I want to say Hi! to all tea drinkers here and wish them luck on their search for good cup of tea!

Hiya Domn, thanks for sharing with us. O-Cha's Yutaka Midori was the first great sencha for many of us here, inclusing me. :wink:

I hope to see you around the forum and enjoy your tea.
