Tuesday TeaDay 3/31/09. Fave tea for March?

[Chip]

Happy Teaday everyone. Please stop by and share what is in your cup today!

Yesterday responders shared their best advice they had received on TeaChat. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. It is the end of another month. What was your favorite tea for March? Details, details, details!

I will be looking forward to sharing a TeaPartay with everyone today! Bottoms up.

[Salsero]

I guess I have to say puerh since it is the one thing I consumed probably
every day of the month ... some wonderful, most only so so. Next month
I expect it to be either greens or whites or Darjeelings.

flower bud. Reminds me of a white tea bud.)

The magnolia is amazing! Right now we're just starting to get Daffodils and Cherry blossoms. It'll be a riot of color very soon. YAY!

Zencha's Ultimate Sencha, especially the first brew after opening the bag, was my best tea in March. BTW, I have a new kyusu on the way. I'll post a pic after I've tested her.

No tea yet this morning, but my last tea of the day was Zencha's Ultimate Sencha.

besides puerh, some liu an (black tea) for march

[Drax]

I tried some nice older samples of pu-erh this month, so I will say pu-erh.

I've gotten over starting some pu-erh in the morning, going to work, and then re-starting the pot. Instead, I'll make sure I do a whole session with pu-erh in the evening. As such, this morning I am enjoying some "Yunnan Noir" from Adagio.

I would have to say

Wan Ling's
Tie Guan Yin - Oolong Tea
Hong Xin Te Chun Guan Yin Wang - Autumn 2008

Not quite as viscous as Rich Barbarian's Supreme+ but extra layers of green flavours.

In my Garden this morning
Camellia

Japonica not sinensis

[Selaphiel]

My favorite of March is a green, an Uji asamushi sencha by the name of Ujibashi San no Ma. Wonderful sencha, bit pricey, but worth it. Hope o-cha will try out more asamushi senchas in the future.

Gonna start brewing it again soon

Salsero- your pictures are always beautiful but have been just gorgeous lately

Herb_Master- beautiful!! I need to get downtown to see the Cherry Blossoms today.

My fave tea for March was Ocha's Uji green tea bags. I bought some (after Chip's advice on a previous thread) to take with me when I traveled over spring break. YUM!!

Green Tung Ting Oolong this morning.

[cherylopal]

Happy Birthday Chip!!

Wishing you a day and year of your favorite things...

[Katrina]

First of all, I could not be more jealous of the BEAUTIFUL flowers. Here in MA we're just getting rid of our snow! I saw some bulbs just starting to peek out of the ground and the buds have emerged on the lilacs. Hope!

I have actually been brewing quite a bit of green this month. I'm not sure why. Perhaps it is thoughts of spring...

AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHIP!

[Victoria]

Happy Birthday Chip!


My favorite tea for March was an Oolong -
a Dancong from Tea Habitat

Starting my day with Adagio Nepal First Flush.

Have a nice day everyone!

[brlarson]

Finally got some tea in my cup. More of Hou de's 2007 Zheng-Yen Shui Xian.

Happy Birthday Chip.

[auggy]

Green for me. No real reason why and not a specific one, just that's what it seemed like I ended up drinking more often. Though my tea consumption this month has been down some since the medicine I'm taking has made me pretty queasy.

Coconut tea today. Yum.

Happy Birthday Chip!

Even though I didn't drink it all month, my favorite was probably the Pai Mu Tan I get from my local tea emporium.

Today I'm trying out a new, to me, Lumbini Estate tea from Ceylon.
