There were two - a fabulous Keemun Hao Ya A and my beloved Dan Cong Aria. The Keemun consoled me on rainy, deary days and the Dan Cong was the perfect for late afternoons.

Have a good Tuesday!

This keemun fanatic has to know where your Hao Ya A was from, CynTEA :-)

Haven't started on tea yet today... most likely will begin with Golden Yunnan - very tippy from Ito En

Fave tea for the month... hmmm I'll have to think about that a bit and get back to you

Definitely from China, definitely an oolong. Now if only I could remember specifics. :)

No time for tea--must get these essays ready to go!

My November favorite was a rather light Kenyan black tea from Stash.

This morning I'm drinking a Golden Monkey from Adagio Teas.

As it has been getting chillier this November I have been really enjoying the Keemun from the Tea Gallery -- it's great brewed gongfu.

The best - Oolong from Taiwan. DaYuLing be exact from Floating Leaves Tea.

In my cup this morning the last of some Mariage Freres Darjeeling from a TC swap. It was very nice, more (but different) are on the way. I think ... unless customs totally confiscates it ... or is drinking it. :evil:

Have a nice day everyone!

I would say Kaboku sencha this month.

Musashi sencha (the other Tsuen karigane sencha) this evening. I like the Otsuusan a little better but it is still a nice karigane.

I drank mostly oolongs this month, but had a couple pu'erh, and that's what won the month for me. So China it is. Had a very nice tea from the 1980s, loose leaf. Relatively light taste, but still good.

Had a different pu'erh from 1980 today as well. This one was a bit different, with a brightness that reminded me of liu bao... or fertilizer. Take your pick! :D

What a long day today... I decided to leave home an hour early so that I'd have time to make a meeting this evening, and what happens? A massive traffic jam on the highway due to an accident, and it takes me an hour longer than normal to get home.

*sigh*
