@ astra & ProfCrash: I feel a bit weird toward you two. I get my teas from Drogheria Soana in Corso Magenta (you might know it prof. from your days in Milano). I go there and buy some 100 g of Keemun, like I did the last time. He takes down a big metal box, digs into a large bag and fills a little bag for me, and that's it. I know that he gets the best tea's that he knows how to get and that's it for me. When I went to him with a list, he gave me everything and than added some Ceylon tea saying that in the style of English breakfast teas I should try that one also and he was right as i enjoy it very much. Am I missing something getting my teas like that? should I start a never ending adventure of search for what I do not know what it is?
Should I read more to get intellectually stimulated?
BTW. I have been drinking Ooloong lately and enjoying it no end. It leaves a very clean mouth. It is simple, subtle, elusive and promising at the same time. I think that I might have identified a definite note in it, but no I can't pinpoint it like in the black teas. I will try more and see if I can find that earth taste at the end of the sip.  |
I love tea and I keep trying new ones and new companies. I don't see that stopping any time soon. If that makes you happy, then go for it. I am trying three new types of tea because of recommendations of people in this thread.
Astra likes the straight teas, very few have an infusion of flavor. I like the straight teas and some infused flavor. KindleKitten likes the Republic of Tea teas. bjones6416 is trying some new stuff but still enjoys her bagged tea (I just can't type it).
I apologize if I have some across too strident. I love tea and my enthusiasm might come across as snobbery.
And I know where the comic book stores in Milan are but I was not drinking tea then. (winks)
