A few months ago someone at my workplace saw me returning for yet another fill up of hot water for my tea bags and asked me if I had ever tried Oolong teas. I hadn't a clue what he was talking about. He brought me some samples and the rest is history!
I am full swing involved in a love affair with tea! I was given some quality teas for the holiday and since then visited a small boutique and bought a few more. There is something about some of the aged Oolongs and some of the Pu'erh that just tastes so perfect to me. I have been devouring any information I can find about tea and the more I learn the more I realize I know nothing.
I am so glad to find this chat board! I hope to find I'm not the only one completely swept away by tea.

Welcome to the forum, Ironica. I hope to see you around TeaChat. You will find many who have been swept away by tea here!

That definitely sounds familiar! I've been cramming as much information as possible about tea into my brain the past couple of years, but like you said, the more I learn, the less I feel I know.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I'm having fun sipping my tea while I surf the site. Having a hard time keeping focused on work today!
