Hello!

by CutieAgouti » Mar 14th, '09, 13:40

Hi everyone! I've been a fan of tea for a long time and recently discovered how delicious loose teas are! I figured to join since I don't know as much about teas as I previously thought I did, and even less about tea accessories so I'll probably have lots of questions coming up.

I have a few favorites, but I'm still exploring lots of teas that I've never had the chance to try.

Anyways, I hope everyone's having a great day! :D

Hi Victoria!!

For the time being (I like a lot of tea!) my favorites are honeybush, oolong #8, ceylon, and lapsang souchong. I do enjoy greens a lot too, but I haven't found a "die-hard" favorite for green yet.

Any suggestions? And what are your favorites?

Hi everyone!! You're all so nice!! Thanks for the warm welcome!

KelvanE, I love greens, but I have yet to try the full gamut of them. As for whites I had a poor experience with silver needle but I recently found out I didn't prepare any of it correctly. :roll:

Have you tried any Japanese greens yet? I thought I didn't really like greens much until I ordered my first from O-Cha... and Spring Shincha season is upon us in the next few weeks!

Welcome! :) I'd have to agree with Sarah! Take a look into some nice sencha! o-cha has some great ones and so does Den's! I had my first a few weeks ago and I'm absolutely addicted (in a good way ;)) Hope to see you around the site!

Hey again!

Kymidwife, the only loose-leaf greens I've had were from adagio and they were pi lo chun and green anji. Oh, I have some gyokuro but I haven't gotten around to trying that yet. I'll definitely look into the o-cha and shincha when I get some money back into my wallet. Also I feel like there's a lot to learn when brewing these kinds of tea! I looked into gong-fu and was overwhelmed
