OK, things have been a little quiet 'round here and probably to the
dismay of many I always like to throw out a lighter topic or two that
anyone can chime in on. So, what has been in your cup lately?
I've been enjoying some Sencha, Young Hyson, Jasmine Oolong, White
Crane Pu-Erh, and some Lipton Green Label DJ.

Currently Drinking: Sencha (that I picked up for only $6/lb. from
Presto George in Pittsburgh, very good stuff at a super low price)

Within the last week I have enjoyed:
Spring '06 Shizuoka Shincha
Hisashi Matcha
1966 Hunan Heicha
1970s Grand Yellow Label
2005 Double-Happiness Hao (green puerh)
A *VERY* tasty shu pu of unknown pedigree,
alleged to be 1970s but I sincerely doubt it.
And some Yunnan Gold (red tea)

I normally rotate all the teas I have, so: Darjeeling Puttabong 1st
Flush, Golden Monkey, Golden Needle, Green Mate, Ooooh Darjeeling, Pi
Lo Chun Select, and Wen Shan Bao Zhong. I've been a little
dissapointed with the Puttabong, which I got a month or two ago.
I'm also a little dissapointed with the Bao Zhong, which I just
receieved. Not as flavorful as the Bao Zhong I've had before, with
almost no flavor on the second infusion. I just finished a Tung Ting
Jade Oolong which was delicious. Fortunately I have some Bao Zhong and
2nd Flush Darjeeling on the way that promises to be better than my
recent tea experiences.

I have been trying to improve my technique with lightly roasted Anxi
and Taiwanese oolongs, and finding a lot to like about the Taiwanese
ones (which I get from Hou De, mostly). I also recently branched out
into pu'er in a big way, and I'm participating in a tasting of Wuyi
yancha too, which I'm only about halfway through. The tasting has been
a real education. I asked my coffee-drinking philistine wife to help
me with it and to my delight she's really gotten into it.

I've been finishing up Upton packets as cold brew tea. English
Breakfast Blend, River Shannon Blend, Heirloom Tea Flowers, none of
which I recommend either hot or iced. Also I finished up Zhena's Gypsy
Love teabags, which is better cold than hot. Organic and fair trade
though, which is not enough reason to rebuy. Toci

I've been alternating between Adagio's fruit sangria herbal (not available
on the website, only available in some stores on the east coasts. Sucks cuz
I"m i Utah. Once I'm out, I"m out!), an herbal blend I've made myself with
chamomile, mint, catnip, lemongrass, and a dash of valarian when I'm trying
to sleep, and finaly RoT's golden yunnan.
Oh yeah...and a 50/50 blend of dark roasted coffee and chicorie root...mmmmm
mud.

Hey Marlene, I just bought some chicory from a local coffee roaster and
I can't make a good drink from it to save my life. The instructions say
1 tbls. per cup, but that seems mighty excessive, I cut it down to
about the amount I would use for a regular pot of coffee and it was
still pretty bitter and not so good. I will try cutting it with some
regular coffee like you say, but at what ratio and how much?

For evening, I've been alternating between chocolate mint rooibos,
raspberry, ginger, and licorice tisanes. I did a ginger-licorice
mixture which is good, also. Toci
