Forgive my rudeness, NYer new to tea

[ladybean]

I've probably made a nuisance of myself in other boards without properly introducing myself. Shame on me.

I'm LadyBean and I've been dabbling in tea the last few weeks, but I've ordered from Adagio and Stash in the past. Back in 2005 I ordered some loose Strawberry tea from Adagio, and it was very nice. I stopped ordering after a mishap with UPS, and a friend pointed me to Stash. I dealt with them off and on, until I was able to get the basic Black Chai in Supermarkets.

But in recent weeks I just felt a desire to go back to loose tea, having started collecting teacups(I have NO idea how that started, really). I'm slowly going through the Chai sampler as well as a few flavored teas, and my favorites so far are the Thai Chai and the Rooibos Vanilla Chai. After fiddling with the flavoreds I've finally managed to get some nice pots of tea going that I can enjoy without the oversteeped bitterness.

Umm, I guess that's it!
