I’m not sure this is the correct tea to be logging on, but I’m too lazy to add a new one. This is what I am drinking:

It is FABULOUS – it’s as good as any of the big brand name bilouchun and it’s really inexpensive. It you like any of the golden snail teas out there but not the price, I suggest you take a look at this one. It is just SO GOOD!!!!!

That tea looks beautiful. The list is as tea bags but show loose tea though. I am assuming it’s loose tea. I’ve bought from Han Xian Ecological Tea a couple of times now and have been happy with the tea. I’ll have to try this one next time but right now have lots of sipping down to do.

It was loose – it came in a 125g package. I’ve had some of their teas before and enjoyed them. I was expecting good but this one is GREAT. Their site is confusing and I think some things get lost in the translation, but it’s so inexpensive that even if you get something you weren’t expecting – it didn’t cost you a lot. I find they are quick and friendly in responding to questions, but again there is a language issue. Not complaining – their English is better than my Chinese, but I don’t always understand the answers. :)

Yes I’ve bought this one a few times and it’s been consistently great. Glad it still is:-)

Sometimes you have to rephrase questions to get clear answers but the seller is always willing to communicate and I have had conversations with him online about Teas and regions that have been really informative.

C.S. Lewis – “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”

I needed to update my profile. I joined Steepster 03Mar13. I am just amazed at how much my tastes have changed since then.
When I discovered loose leaf tea about a year and half ago, I didn’t know anything other than my local Davids and Teavana/Teaopia. Stumbling onto Steepster CHANGED EVERYTHING.
Hello, my name is Dex I’m a tea addict.
I’ve been through the “I need to try every single tea out there” phase. I really hope the worst of that has passed. I’ve learned enough to know that I only need to try HALF of all the teas out there. LOL
When I started this journey, I was all about the flavored rooibos and fruity tisanes. Don’t get me wrong there is still room for dessert (chocolate/caramel/nutty) Rooibos teas in my cupboard and I still do enjoy them, BUT I am quickly learning to appreciate the some of the straight teas of the world.
Big bold (but not icky)pu’erh is suddenly my favorite, followed by woody/roasted oolongs. I’m just starting to explore straight black teas, and have found some that I really like.
Generally speaking I’m not into greens at all, only like the occasional green oolong, and white teas are just too mild for my tastes (unless they are fruit flavored). I still enjoy really good fruit tisanes, but am now cold steeping them.
I don’t like floral/herbal blends, and mint anything is not on my preferred list.
I am still exploring new teas, adapting to my changing tastes, understanding more every day how little I really know about tea. Ultimately I would love to find approximately 50 teas that I just “can’t live without” and always have them in my cupboard. That might not be practical, but that what I’m searching for. It’s going to be a fun journey.

All in all, I love this site. I’ve met some wonderful people, and have gotten to try some amazing teas because of them. It really restores your faith in humanity when you get a note saying “oh by the way I sent you some tea”. Wonderful, generous, people here.
