March tasting

by scruffmcgruff » Feb 23rd, '09, 10:21

So March is coming up quickly and I still have no idea what to offer. Ideas? It's just as much about what you want as what I want, so let me know if there's anything on your mind!

Edit: I will be offering two different kinds of Lapsang Souchong. The list of participants is below.

1. Fencer
2. Brandon
3. TIM
4. Salsero
5. Victoria
6. Pentox
7. Chip
8. Oliverco
9. Chamekke
10. Bi lew chun
11. Marizzle Rizzle
12. Joelbct
13. Wesli
14.

Tamaryokucha a.k.a. guricha?

I get the impression that most people haven't tried it yet (including me!) ... which may make it the perfect candidate.

guri was the "in thing" around here for a while. Never liked the taste of it personally. But i'm always welcome to try if someone thinks they can convert me.

If Pentox is willing, I would be too. :lol: I had a quarter kilo last year from Lupicia thanks to Pentox, around 4-5 different ones ...

Actually, this is a good time of year for guri, I think it holds up better than sencha. I have not tried Mellow Monk and have been more than a bit curious about it.

I don't know if Lapsang was meant to be a joke, but I'd be interested too.
Sorry Chip!

The Lapsang was meant in jest, but I haven't tried it all the same.

Consider thyself unbanned ... :D

After I posted that, I wondered if I had committed a faux pas ...

I'm curious how many people here have actually tried the famous Lapsang though.

I suppose it would be an excuse to get a samovar.

I've tried it in teabag form, and it was pretty disgusting. But I guess that doesn't mean much.

I've only had TRoT's lapsang souchong, so I would be a little curious to try a "good" one.
