Hello, all!
I'm Tess, 23 and from the Fox Valley area of Wisconsin. Can't tell you
how much I've enjoyed the messages in this group! I've gone and read
through several years of back-messages and have learned so much; such a
delight to get the digest every day and to see what is being discussed.
I'm a longtime tea lover who is currently having the opportunity for
the first time to spend more time (and money--thank goodness college is
over!) learning about and drinking really good tea. So far...

I've spent hours going back through them too, and I find a good mix of
funny posts and insightful comments and tips that help me out to this
day.

No worries; I'd had the Lapsang Souchong in the past. Thing is, I'm
also crazy about good single malt scotch, and the smokier and peatier
it is, the happier I am--so I tend to like smoky teas as well. I've had
Dragonwell and loved it, and just picked up some of the Twig Tea to
try--I'll give Gyokuro a shot, have heard much good about it, thanks!

Thanks much!

I'll back you up on the lapsang souchong! It was my first looseleaf
tea, too, though only a silly Twinings version from an English
supermarket. Tolkien's favourite tea, also, though he took a slice of
lemon, apparently. :)
Yours definitely not dressed like Legolas the Elf,

Wow, that astounds me. That anyone could start with Lapsang even by
chance and enjoy it, I guess people's tastes really do vary greatly. I
cringe to think people start green tea with gunpowder (which happens a
lot) but to start with Lapsang and come back for more is nothing short
of heroic. Elf, Dwarf, Hobbit or not :)

I used to enjoy really violent Lapsang when I was about twenty years
old. I knew *nothing* about tea then. At that time, I occasionally
smoked a brand of cigar called Rum-Soaked Crooks.

It is so good to hear from you. I thought of this as my "beacon of light"
shedding light, friendship, wisdom, and humor too I am blessed to know it.
That is outstanding news!!
