hey fellow tea addicts!
i work night shift and am ever so thankful to have stumbled on this forum. something to help make the night pass by more quickly.
though ive always loved tea, i am new to whole leaf. a coworker introduced me recently when he brought in a yixing pot and whole leaf oolong. and with that, i was hooked!
ive ordered the green tea savant sampler from adagio; hopefully should come in the mail today. but please let me know your favorites to try!!
also, i love the artwork that goes into making teapots and bowls/cups so if anyone makes their own, let me know. id love to start my collection with some handmade items.

Re: Late Night Tea
Well if you are new to ooolong, why not start with Adagio? Please avoid the flavored ones. I would suggest a sample of Ali Shan, Ti Kuan Yin, #18, #40. Once you decide which of these you really prefer, there will be a whole new world to explore.

Hello and welcome from another night shift person. This is a great site filled with great peeps. I agree with the Ali Shan Oolong, very nice.

I agree 100% with Victoria. Flavored oolongsVictoria wrote:Well if you are new to ooolong, why not start with Adagio? Please avoid the flavored ones.

The Ali Shan and Ti Kuan Yin are my personal faves on Adagio, as far as oolongs go. Wuyi Ensemble is also good.
Green teas, I like Sencha Overture and Dragonwell. You're getting Dragonwell with the Savant Sampler, and it looks like a Gyokuro. Good stuff!
