General update!

First, I love this tea. I have been drinking it a lot this past week because I bought 100g of it…I think it was 100g. Anyway, I had a tin I wanted to put it in but there was too much tea because it was so fluffy. Today I finally drank it down so that it all fits into a tin. Yay!

I haven’t been writing reviews as much in the past month, largely because the site was so kerborken that either no one would see it (the last couple I wrote had no likes…sniff…) or because I was drinking the same old things. The site seems to have largely fixed itself so I’ll work on getting back into the habit. I’m also sad that the forum is so much slower than it used to be. But hey, chat is still hopping after about 10 am every day. So you should go there!

In other news, I have been working on a solution to storing my teas, and I think I’m there. You know I love tins, and I have a big shelf for all of the tinned teas that I have. But what to do with all of those little packages everywhere? Well, I repurposed one of those cube storage things from my daughter’s room – she is grown up and moved out and didn’t want it – and bought new fabric cubes this weekend and now I have six cubes of sorted teas. The only down side is that when I was moving the tea into the thingie, I realized that I have….so….much…tea. And yet I keep buying it. Oh well, more for you guys.

My likes often have disappeared. The dash gets into a funk and tells me initially I liked notes, but then when I go back they’re all gone, or the first couple of likes are there and the rest are gone.

It truly is a total addiction ! I have plant lot good teas but I was low on mates so yesterday I sent out and got a pound of different mates. (It was quite the variety and at good prices) I so didn’t need it. But I am very happy!

I know how you like order and organization, so now I want you to look at your six cubes and work to get them to all have the same amount. It might mean you have to drink a bunch from one cube… or go out a buy some more. I know you are thinking the same thing. :-D

Carol you should join us in chat, I think you would like it.

I drink mostly black teas, so I have one for flavored blacks, one for unflavored, one for darjeeling, one for pu, one for everything that doesn’t have caffeine and the last is oolongs. Two of the ones that didn’t have as much in them, I divided so there is a spot for white and the SBT bags.

I was just rereading my comment… I think where it said “plant lot” it was supposed to be “plenty of” …. no. maybe “quite a lot of”, well who the heck knows… I do have a whole lot of teas. ;-p

Okay, I give up. How many is “I have….so….much…tea”?

My iPad won’t let me “like” posts anymore. :(

I would estimate that my cupboard isn’t up to date by…40 or so (sheepish). And, I tend to buy big quantities. I can take some pictures later.

Conchobar

Yikes… following your red wine analogy, perhaps you need to begin seriously considering a “Tea Room” for storage, tastings etc. :)

“Pumidor” will happen one day…

Bio

Mom of two practically grown girls, extremely happily married to a man who is amused by my obsession with tea, and company owner who works from home. Life is good.

Likes/dislikes: I love black teas, especially strong/malty ones. I am ok with flavored teas if the base is strong. I like some whites. I really don’t like any tea that tastes “green” – if I wanted to drink something that tastes like green beans, I would cook some green beans. I am not big on green teas or genmaichas. I am learning to like puerhs.

If we are trading, I have a STRONG aversion to coconut, banana and licorice. I love citrus, vanilla and spice. Not a fan of florals.
