Great thread, very informative.

I drink tea since I was little, normally just plain earl grey in those little papper bags. About two years ago I have began to explore other teas such as green tea, white tea, roybus( i never know how to spell it correctly)

I will certainly try to get some of the teas mentioned here. There is a Tea house nearby with dozens of varieties. They'll certainly have some of these.


I'll post my impressions later.

Well yesterday I recieved a package from The Tao of Tea and in it was 8oz of Chineese Silver needle and 8oz of Jasmin oolong. Today I had a package with my Blue bamboo tetsubin and 8oz of earl grey and a sample of strawberry black from Enjoyingtea.com. I am quite impressed with all the tea I recieved and love my tetsubin, only wish I would have ordered a larger one than 20oz. I am looking forward to trying out more teas and looking for a larger tea pot.

I think my next purchase will be from them. Will have to try some samples before I buy large tins.

Peet's

Do you have Peet's Coffee & Tea out there? They have an excellent selection of teas at most locations. They also have excellent coffee.

Too lazy to read the whole thread to see if anyone talks about Chinese tea but drank in the Arabic/N&W African style, strong, sweet, and in three rounds out of shot glasses. This is my new preferred way of drinking tea, and here's my favorite brand: Forte Special Chumnee.

I really like the Japanese Green teas... the ones with the toasted Rice in it. Very different flavor.

Not certain if this is a repeat or not, but Intelligentsia might be of interest.
