  1. Has anyone been to this tea festival-it looks interesting http://www.boulderteahouse.com/
  2. I am an average jane doe i used 6 oz of water and a small piece of the tea- i did not have a scale for measurement- the first sample was steeped for 3 minites, the second for 5 and the last for 10
  3. I brewed this tea 3 times- I found the tea to be smoky and had an unpleasant bitter taste- there was little or no aroma of brewed tea/ The color of liquid was golden- wet leaves were broken- i used a jenaer teapot and glass gaiwan
  4. I received my sample this am- It arived in 2 pieces with extaneous leaves. The tea appears to be brown and had a light aroma
  5. I went to the first of three events at Knight Concert Center in Downtown Miami- Daisy Martinez and Ingrid Hoffman the evening started with fire alarms going off- the interviews were intesting and funny= I was disappointed with the foods prepared-only 10 minutes of time given- The hall was not filled to capacity-my original ticket was for third tier but most ppl were upgraded- I was reassigned seat to center of orchestra-not bad for a $20+ investment
  6. I am interested in participating

  8. I beg to defer-it set the stage
  9. I agree that he screwed up in his preparation of the grasshoppers but the matzah balls may not have been bad. I don't think the chefs on panel or fellow contestants understood the sinker vs. fluffy matzah ball problem. I just had bad vibes from judges and contestants.
