A woman through MSM has suggested we simplify our lives by limiting
our ownership to 300 items. I believe I'd allocate 3 items for tea,
one Assam, one Ceylon, and one Sencha. What would others do? Toci

Two very grand, probably very old, most likely very expensive tongs of
pu-erh
One very large bag of Yunnan Jin-Si Golden Tips

I suppose tea ware would have to be accounted for as well...
I'd keep a kettle, teapot, strainer, large bag of assam, large bag of
long jing, and a nice china cup. (6)

Assam for the morning jolt, long jing for afternoon pleasure? I make
do with sauce pan, strainer, and china mugs. Toci

But a package of tea is actually thousands of items, all together in that
bag!

If it were me, I'd probably take a nice stout black China tea and leave
it at that. Maybe also some of the Oriental Beauty. But I could drink
a typical inexpensive keemun or yunnan every day and be happy. Come to
think of it, I do...

Neat idea, I could do it. I am into light (ultralight) backpacking/
hiking so I can manage on very little and make sure every piece has
multiple uses. I use an Olicamp Space saver cup and always bring tea
(Jasmine green, Shui Xian, and Bi Lo chun) no matter how light I'm
going. I boil the water right in the cup on a Snow Peak Giga Power
Titanium stove (about 3 ounces: http://www.rei.com/product/664428).

For the rest of life I'd need a laptop (for TV, music, phone,
entertainment, info, etc.), a pair of good headphones, and not much
else beyond basics like clothes, water, and food.

If I ever get the chance in life I plan on living somewhere in this
manner. Tibet, Bhutan, China, Western Canada, or somewhere similar.

I guess it depends upon which 3 tea mountains I'd like to own.
