Welcome to TeaChat, Stacey! So glad to hear you've begun your tea journeyInNatureTeas wrote: Hi,
I am Stacey.
Since working with a loose tea company, I am a novice on my own journey of tea exploration.
I have tried 3-4 blends, many many more to go!
I have a preference so far for Oolong and Puerh.
Looking forward to chatting with tea-lovers and sharing recommendations.
Let me know what you're drinking this month.

Hey anTEAque1! So glad that you found TeaChat! WelcomeanTEAque1 wrote: Hello tea folk!
I have been fascinated by history and antiques since I was a kid. Recently, when reading historic fiction about Japan, I became fascinated by the significant role of tea in every level of society. I decided that I would like to take my tea drinking to the next level. So I researched and bought an old iron tetsubin and have enjoyed trying different types tea and discovering the difference the tetsubin makes in changing the water before it is poured onto the tea! I am looking forward to learning more!
Welcome to TeaChat, Elisabeth! Thank you for sharing.Elisabeth wrote: Hello Every Buddy! My name is Elisabeth and I'm new here as of today (2/8/23 ). I found the forum during my search for non-toxic bone china tea ware. I grew up with tea-loving parents who were always getting new teas to try....and I'm talking about black teas. I have a memory of them getting a huge, compressed wheel of loose tea, that had what I think were Chinese designs in relief. To make the tea, you would just pinch some off and put in your tea ball.
As a kid, my mother introduced me to Constant Comment, and then on to Earl Grey, lapsang souchong, darjeeling, assam, gun powder, and on and on. I love black teas best, but will occasional go for an herbal. I am an American of British Isles heritage, and my mother would make us afternoon tea often. The old Wagner tea tins were a staple around our house.

I am Pranay from Sydney, Australia. I was looking for forums focussed on variety of tea around the world and found this site from google search. I love tea, specially Indian chai tea, green tea and specifically Japanese matcha. I discovered matcha during Covid lockdowns in 2020 and genuinely felt a difference in physical and mental wellbeing when I started having a cup of hot matcha, honey lemon or matcha latte. Not that I have any health issues, but still felt that good from matcha consumption. Wondering if there are any other matcha lovers here?
My other interests are gardening, travelling with family, online ecommerce interests, cricket.
cheers.

Welcome to TeaChat all! Looking forward to learning about your favorite teas!Potted wrote: I've somewhat recently stumbled into this world outside the teabag acquiring a gaiwan from an online shop of some limited offerings of blends and cutesy names but identifying some as oolongs and pu-erhs. The purveyor, Smith Teas, does have a superior offering to what I was accustomed to and has served as a gateway to my first rounds of raw and ripe pu-erh and some oolong they call golden and I now want to know by it's true varietal. I next found Mei Leaf on YouTube, oh my, and then Yunnan Sourcing. I do have my first tasting order in to YS. I think some Googling on teapots led me to a page here. Sometimes, being able to ask a question is nice, so here I am.
