OK one Bell's Hopslam and I am drunk. I love this stuff but should only drink it with a full stomach. If you live in the US and enjoy good beer look for this stuff. It is only out for a few weeks and a very limited release but it is so good.

Just don't worry about the latter. I just love reading all your threads about all those different tea's and I think I'm not the only one. It opens a completely new world for me, thinking I had seen it all now (grew up with Ceylon tea in teabags), and is greatly appreciated.

I became so curious I even asked Astra about pur-eh; and got a lot of good info.

I also love the choice of words that describes the different tea's and their exotic names. It makes me have visions of me, reclining on a heavenly sofa somewhere far away...............with lots of servants, only for me, and fans made out of ostrich feathers.

Sounds like heaven to me - just add some praline ice cream on top of the waffles and maybe some maple syrup and I would fly across the Earth for that if I could!

I almost feel I must join this teaclub.

Careful! They almost have me, too.

Not absent, just silent.

Trying to be respectful, for my mother's sake. It's not a cloak I wear well.

But though I was silent on the net, I still drank a heck of a lot of tea, all of it black and strong, all of it tasting just the way I like tea to taste... no milk, no sugar, no extra flavors. Just tea.


DesertBlues, Dreams... I think it's time to face up to the fact that we already have you. Assimilation into the collective is a given. Resistance is futile. We are tea.

Should I read more to get intellectually stimulated?
That's how I started...and gave up quite a few times. You are doing a lot better my friend
I am different from ProfCrash. She is very experienced in teas, I am barely above the newbie level. Let's say greenhorn or maybe as high as beginner (don't pay too much attention to my rambling. The titles are from rpg I played in 1995 )
I started to investigate in October 2010? when I realised I drink 6 cups of black tea - Yorkshire Gold in bags. I thought it is too much of black tea dust. I started to drink horrible fruit teas in tea bags and whining about it over here. kindlekitten lost her patience with me and ask why do I keep pushing myself and drink tea I hate. Guess what. I re-read 2 of your posts. One about rooibos another about mate and it started

Because of lack of experience I have no choice but try. Just like ProfCrash said it is hit and miss.
I wanted to try rooibos? I went to NBTea website and they have 12? What could I do? I ordered a sample collection Still made a mistake. I have not realised yet that I don't like additional flavours. So, from 12 I have ordered two flavoured and now I know that only straight rooibos is my cup of tea, just like you do

Later, when I visited Bath and its tea shop/room and he seller mentioned the word Mate, I flared up! I knew what he was talking about! I was so happy I even ordered a pot of roasted mate in their tea room out of hundreds teas

Have you noticed how much you influenced my tea drinking style/habit?

Then I wanted to investigate green teas. Again. NBTea--->green tea sample collection---> 3 batches. Green tea from Japan, From China, from Other Origin (this is where Vietnam chimes in )
All green teas were the same for me. I had to try all of them to decide which ones I like or whether they are all the same and different names is only a marketing trick?
I received 24 samples. I loved 3 of them more than the rest:
Sencha - Japan
Dragon Well and White Monkey - China

To investigate a bit more is Bancha and Bancha Houjicha?
My life is easy now with green teas I still have to finish all the samples though I liked almost all of them but the 3 mentioned above were outstanding. It is fun! I am a control freak and this sample tasting allowed me to choose what I like. I don't have to rely on websites' reviews.

Oolong is the next step in my investigation. I have found a sample of Formose oolong in my tea stash and tried it. It was VERY good. Just like you described it It leaves a very clean mouth. My better 2/3s liked it too.

Sorry y'all, guess my palate isn't ready for the tea club
I would not like any of the aforementioned teas, but as dear ProfCrash said I like straight teas. I drunk a lot of teas and cursed for my bad choice before I realised where the problem lies.
As long as you enjoy it, don't give up

Vietnamese Sencha and Vietnamese Lotus Chun Mee. I liked the latter, good green tea but IIRC Vietnamese Sencha was one of the few that I didn't like at all.
I have no clue

Just tea for me.

No sugar, nice fat mug and minimal milk for a strong taste. Yum.
