Only have 6 people for the tea exchange. Hopefully there's more by the end of the week, but if that's all there is, I'll send people their person and shipping info regardless of how many there are..

Ironically, none of those teas you listed are a tea in the true sense of the word. Hibiscus tea is really good though. I actually made a hibiscus simple syrup that was delicious for part of a recipe for a dinner I made for friends.

True. They are all very tasty though, and prepared pretty much the same way. Either way loose leaf tea in my opinion is much better than stuff in a bag. Maybe it's just the ritual of having extra steps to prepare your tea, but I find loose leaf tea(or "tea") tastes better.

I keep trying to get more into pure green teas, but I always end up coming back to fruity and floral green tea blends, and Tetley for daily drinking. Need to get out of my Tetley habit and get back into brewing some of my delicious green teas!

My favourite 'tea' is probably Cheonji Dew or Snow Dew Tea. It's a Korean tea that I first bought in Seoul, and it's made from Hydrangea leaf. Extremely sweet naturally with a sweet aftertaste, I enjoy adding a leaf to a pot of one of my green tea blends to give it that pleasant lingering sweetness. I've never found it locally or even found a specialty store that knew what I was talking about, but it can be bought on eBay.

Most of my other favourites are fruity or floral blends with names like "Geisha Blossom", "Japanese Treasures", and "Pink Flamingo".

As for more traditional teas, I do enjoy Genmaicha or a good breakfast blend Earl Grey.

Huh that's interesting. I never picked up the taste for sweetening tea though.

Used to put sugar in my tea, but now I just prefer it black (or green depending on what type I'm having).

Unfortunately I cannot afford good tea, so I just drink Bigelow...

My favorite of all time is the Chocolate Chili Chai from David's tea. It's like a hot chocolate, but with a black tea and chilly flavor much less sugar. And the smell!

I've never been a huge Chai fan, but I have to admit that a great cup of Chai once in a while is amazing. I have some that you're supposed to make in a pot on the stove, organic, small-batch, family-grown spices kind of stuff, I think I'll have to finally try making it now that it's getting cooler out. Perfect fall pick-me-up.

U want a glass or ceramic infuser, to minimize the effect of metal on the taste of the tea.

Buhh... well it's glass and small and thin, delicate++

There's enough left for at least a cup or two (quite a bit left in the matcha) if anyone wants all or some of them shoot me a PM. All are very recent purchases.

What teas do you recommend to purchase online, tp?

And what are good solutions to store tea (even long term) besides Kaikado tins? Airscape?

In general, I don't worry much about storage, because I only buy tea that's packed in the Standard 10g Foils. It's much more convenient and FRESH.

In Asia u can buy any quantity of tea, and they have the 10g packing as a service.

Each 10g lasts 1-2 days tops.

This is the best method, because anytime you got a giant tin/ case, by the time you get to the bottom, the oxygen would've changed the taste from manufactured specifications.

Given the modern Emphasis on dental whiteness, Tp4 would only recommend light green teas. If you go with the roasted/fermented teas, if the addiction sets in, and ur chugging all the time, THEY WILL turn your teeth yellow.

Even if you've got dental whitening in the dental plan, honestly, wth do the chemicals and UV do, no one knows, capitalist dentistry is just out to ding-insurance.
