I just received my first sampler order and the green tea is fantastic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883727182436142525.post-19185891050131508692007-11-28T09:37:00.000-07:002007-11-28T09:37:00.000-07:00"Proselytization of Tea" indeed.

I have one with the ceramic infusor, and it doesn't really "flow" as well as I think it should. <BR/><BR/>Secret Santa tea exchange...that sounds like a fun time! And the world does need more gaiwans (though I think I probably don't, but that won't stop me). <BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting - you're both in the drawing. :-)Jamie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05486427517423813962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883727182436142525.post-92010909473800726962007-11-26T21:30:00.000-07:002007-11-26T21:30:00.000-07:00The Proselytizing of Tea...I like that turn of phr...The Proselytizing of Tea...I like that turn of phrase. I may have to steal it.<BR/><BR/>Some of the blokes who hang at TeaChat have come up with a Secret Santa exchange, and I'm taking part in that. My SS is getting some Yu-Shan autumnal oolong that Hou De says is particularly honeyed. And a gaiwan. The world needs more gaiwans. I'll probably be getting my mom some Earl Grey too. It's a comfort tea in my house.Mary Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148503047445501555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883727182436142525.post-51928160762308761132007-11-26T20:38:00.000-07:002007-11-26T20:38:00.000-07:00This is a very, very interesting subject - the pro...This is a very, very interesting subject - the proselytization of tea, and I think it will warrant more than a few posts on my part. You've definitely piqued my interest.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime I'm planning on giving loose leaf tea, probably a medley of flavored teas and one "orthodox" tea to a tea drinking friend. She'll also recieve an infuser mug, as I find it a bit friendlier to newbies than a gaiwan or some other eccentric bit of Asian ceramic. She's just testing the waters, so to speak, but is practically a tea enthusiast already.Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11819342077754991739noreply@blogger.com
