Hello TeaChat

[Segmund]

Hi TeaChat!

I'm Segmund, hailing from Tucson AZ, and I love tea
I"m trying to get into better tea, as opposed to the cheap ones that I have been drinking. As far as it goes now, I'm drinking some Bentley's black teas, and some Jasmine I found at an Asian market. I really love Jasmine teas, and this one is especially good. I don't really have great teaware, I use a coffee maker to heat my water, and then, if its not in a teabag, I throw my teaball in there and let it steep.
Thats about it, I guess I'll be talking with you all from here on in. Questions and suggestions are much appreciated.

Welcome! Well maybe you need to thank about getting a larger brewing vessel than a tea ball. When you start getting into whole leaf, the leaves really need a lot more room to expand vs. the chopped small fine leaf that is in a teabag. expand. Like the ingenuiTea:

Or maybe try the oolong sampler, there is a jasmine in there.

Nice to have you with us!

Welcome, from a very sporadic poster in the frozen North. Tucson, huh? One of my kids has been living there the past several years, and I find every excuse I can to visit--not least because there's some really fine tea to be had along with all that sun. (If you haven't done so already, check out Seven Cups Teahouse, on 6th St. just off Tucson Blvd. Yum. I think they also have a spot at the Botanical Gardens, but haven't been there myself.)

Welcome Segmund

Ditch the teabags

Buy tea on the internet, or maybe go to Seven Cups.
