I have three greens that I enjoy, two oolongs, on Darjeeling, one Pu-Erh, one pure black (Keemun), three flavored black teas. I have two blended teas from Teavana but those might just fall off of my list.
I have four other Pu-Erh's, two I see finishing one loose leaf Shu and one Shu Tuo Cha from Rishi, and two that I might have occassionally but not likely, the Ginger and Vanilla Mint.
I can see trying new teas when they look interesting to me but I think I might have figured out what I really like and found my top 20 teas.
And I am scared that I can honestly talk about a top 20 teas.

??? scared??? what do you mean scared.
Up to now in my short experience with teas i have 2 blacks that I love: Keemun and Ceylon. (I love the 4 euros/100 gr that I have and might try something more expensive or I might decide against it) 1 Oolong plus one that is waiting to become my number one tea, two greens and that's it, for a total of ... 6. And i want to coast way at large from a number of pusher traps and shoals, like those fish and mud tasting stuff you and honest star have been what? day dreaming about.
honestly.
