Re: A single cateogory of tea is such a rabbit hole.
Down the memory rabbit hole...remembering fondly a lovely tea I encountered only once, offered by Norbu in 2011, which he called a ' white oolong' . It was not traditionally processed, and it was brilliant. It's amazing and wonderful that after millenia, there are still new ways to make tea! Per the...

Re: What Green Are You Drinking
My favorite aspect of TTHK is the subtle spiciness of it, and that comes through whether I do it grandpa style, or with lots of leaves packed into a small pot and many infusions. The most delicate sweet, floral, and vegetal aspects are fleeting, but the rest of it is pretty nice too. I am now enjoyi...

Re: What Green Are You Drinking
Thanks for the heads up, I am now having my fourth or fifth session with Gu Zhu Zi Sun From 7 cups. The previous time I had ordered some of this from them, this season was not right, and it had lost some of its luster by the time I really was drinking it. This time I ordered with a little more restr...

Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking
I am not sure what the harvest year was for the Ancient Heights aged Dong Ding was that I purchased from Wistaria a few years ago, but I find that it is a very flexible tea that tastes delicious basically no matter how I brew it. I think of it as a little bit sweet, plummy, with an element that I ca...

Re: What Green Are You Drinking
that is one of my favorite tea varieties.... is it from the current year's harvest? It's unfortunately a tea that does not keep well.... my green tea morning started with a fresh pouch of Tsuen gyokuro Yume no Ukihashi, via O-cha. It's been in the refrigerator for a good while before being opened up...

Re: Introduce Yourself
welcome!
I also enjoy too many different kinds of teas to say that any one is best or favorite.

Re: What White Are You Drinking
I've been enjoying some 'Floating Cloud' white tea from Hatvala, purchased in 2021, and forgotten in the back of the tea chest. Floral, sweet, fruity, quite pleasant.

Re: Morning Crane Tea
Still have to drink down my current supply before I can join again....but because these are such lovely teas to savor, that goes a bit slowly.

Re: Daxue Jiadao 大学夹道
I've found their offerings to be consistently high quality exemplars of the types of tea they represent, so if you pick something you normally enjoy I think you'll be quite pleased. But which one is a standout depends on your tea palate.

Re: Your day in tea
It's been warm enough in Los Angeles for chilled sparkling tea to be back on the menu. Lately I'm putting a little tea in a flask, covering with boiling water, letting that sit covered for a while; then taking a bottle of chilled water from the fridge, carbonating it, and pouring the chilled water i...

Re: What Green Are You Drinking
A very nice morning session with Obubu's 'Wind' sencha, per the description on the label, 'Tea from tall mountains with a spring-breeze-like sweetness. ' And indeed, this has been a very friendly sencha, just a hint of astringency distinguishing it from a lightly shaded gyokuro, sweet, delicately ve...
