Re: What Green Are You Drinking

mjac not to lowly of course! I am buying locally in Taiwan, so that’s out of the question for you. Just have a look in the vendors recommendations section here on the forum, I am sure you’ll find something that fits your bill. I was worried there for a second. Maybe I will go to Taiwan. I did not k...

Re: What Green Are You Drinking

Re: What Green Are You Drinking

I did find one extensive tea and herb store in the French Quarter and perhaps another a little smaller. You gravitate toward visiting a local tea because you have experienced professionally run stores that are of impeccable integrity including Harney & Sons in SoHo. Actually, my gateway tea into th...

Re: What Green Are You Drinking

Adagio, proven integrity Ahem... integrity and Adagio – I don't think many core members here would agree on that. After all their lack of integrity is what gave birth to this forum ;) I am operating from a point of what I know at this time. At this time all I know is that these two names, Harney & ...

Re: What Green Are You Drinking

Got them. They are a reputable company? Yes, Harney & Sons carry good quality loose leaf teas like gunpowder and jasmine. I have been to their shop in Soho, NYC and enjoyed tasting a few teas there as well as at various tea festivals. They’ve been around for 40 years now and carry a wide range of t...

Re: What Green Are You Drinking

So if full leaf tea can be seeped "several" times, I take that to mean at least 3 This is very dependent on the tea, but also on the infusion method. Most people on the forum use mainly or exclusively loose leaf tea, and use an amount of leaf that can seem quite high at first for people who have be...
