[Chip]

Greetings everyone and welcome to another TeaDay and to Crave Factor 2010! Please stop in and share what is in your cup throughout the day.

Yesterday we discussed WHITE/YELLOW Crave Factor. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. Crave Factor 2010 of different teas. Today, we find out about OOLONG Tea! Do you crave Oolong, what is your personal Crave Factor for Oolong? Please share.

I am looking forward to craving tea on TeaDay with everyone today! Bottoms up.

Cannot resist - heck I even have dreams about the stuff! In my cup (in the morning) will be some BaiJiGuan, cause I can.
In my cup right now - some Lavender and Tilleul. Mama needs to sleep tonight.

Craving Wuyi oolong tonight, but some Dan Cong is standing in for it (Da Wu Ye). Earlier started with some Sayamakaori sencha, then segued to Zhan Shu Lake oolong, took a detour with some Bai Hong green tea, and now the Dan Cong. Missed a puerh in there somehow, and this infusion of the DWY is coming up very much floral and sweet, so the earthy/spicey side of things was underrepresented today.

7, certainly. Tho not like I do matcha or j g's, or even puerh.
I'm not sure why either - oolongs are so amazing.
I predict that at some point in my future, I will crave them a lot.

Just finished a cup of Yunnan Golden Cube puerh.
Very yummy.

I have tasted some excellent oolong (thanks to Victoria) and some awful oolong (thanks to me being cheap). It's just not a favorite, though.

I also have Victoria to thank for cluing me in on oolongs, as evidenced by my checking option 6 in the poll.

And in honor of the poll, I'll have some oolong right now.

[brandon]

Oh yeah - a 10. I can't stop thinking about Oolong, especially High Fired.



But sometimes, a light Tie Guan Yin is nice, too.

GM all
10- for me i LOVE oolong fav to this day monkey picked (only been able to find it once)

this morning tea on my 2nd infusion finally received my order from golden tea house, last night- drinking loose puerh

saving my premium tie guan yin for this afternoon- never had it before excited

# 4 -- again. Victoria introduced me to oolongs, but I don't crave them.

Black Dragon Pearls this morning.

[TwoPynts]

10!

I'd have to say that they are my "least resistible" tea.

[Chip]

I voted 5. I really like oolong but do not crave them. Enjoy them quite a bit. Interesting this craving thing ...

[Victoria]

I voted 10 - Even though #9 sounds higher - I cannot resist the Oolong!!
But it applies too! I love oolong, I crave it, I am the oolong queen.

Thanks to all the mentions above. I love spreading oolong love!

I drank tea for years and years, since I was little, but oolong made me a fanatic. And that is why I'm here.

I like it but don't necessarily crave it. Although there are certain cool, fall-ish days when nothing hits the spot like a good oolong!

An unidentified black tea is in my cup this morning. The package I had it in was unlabeled but it's tasty!

[entropyembrace]

cant resist the oolong, especially the dark roasty kind!

[nickE]

While I do like Wuyi and a few other Oolongs quite a bit, I almost never crave them.

I had a massive craving for Sencha this morning, so I brewed up some Shin-Ryoku which was quite nice.

Sipping tea, thunder outside, relaxing music.
