Greetings from Attalla, Alabama

[Mare of Earth]

Ran across this site while trying to identify a new piece of teaware, and discovered a few things I had mis-identified, much to my delight! (No, those aren't wierd sake cups, they are most of a gungfu tea set.... and that is a horn tipped tea pick that completes that tea tool set you got at the same store a month later, not an odd hairstick!
I am curious about what I already own, what I don't own yet, what I would like to get, as well as learning more about teas and how to brew them and trying new teas and brewing methods.

Thank God you are an Earth Mare and not a space Mare.

Welcome. Searches will usually get you far with answering questions.

Welcome! Sounds like you'll have a good time here. The learning is endless (in a good way).

I make no promises about not being a space-case sometimes tho!!

I have been searching a lot.

I also have many packages of tea to identify - we have been collecting packages of tea for a few years now whenever they showed up at a local store, and have some very interesting varieties.

We also have a large quantity of unidentified tea, or tea that we tried once and didn't like that I am pretty sure we brewed incorrectly. This is going to be my project for the next few weeks - identifying what we have, and how to brew it correctly. (And yes, I plan to sample quite a bit of it!!)

So - I am going to have a very fun couple of weeks!

P.S. - Does anyone know where I can find a tea-related kanji list?

Welcome to the forum, Mare of Earth.

I am looking forward to seeing you around the forum. Be sure to check out TeaDay and share with what's in your cup, that is if you can identify it!
