today i am drinking ba xian dancong which i purchased after poetry reading at cha ma gu dao teashop(south silk road tea)

I was for many years a coffee drinker- i still on occasson drink a cup-only if it is brewed properly. i stopped drinking the brew 5 yrs. ago. i never home roasted but enjoyed a cup of moderately brewed cup of coffee prepared with mellita filter and ground with a small grinder. joanne r.

I go to their tea shop occassionally- the staff r friendly and helpful-they r also knowledgeable -i always have a good experience there- joanne r.

what is western syle brewing?

there r 2 shops www.jingtea.com in uk and www.jingteashop.com i have ordered from both- it has been awhile since i ordered tea from either-i can't remember the names of teas but i have ordered glass teaware from jingtea.com(the items have arrived safely and r used frequently) and also from jingteashop- joanne

beside www.houdeasianarts.com www.shanshuiteas.com and www.thefragrant leaf .com have some of the best of the best oolongs. i have ordered from jingteashop but i have been disappointed- which teas have u ordered from them joanne

why not try using loose leaf tea-purchase teeli or any other brand of tea filter- u will be surprised how easy it is to prepare your tea of choice joanne

my favorite flavored black teas are from le palais des thes and mariage-freres joanne

this morning i enjoyed 2008 Pin-Lin Bao Zhong from www.houdeasianart.com i brewed tea( 1 tbl) in a small yixing teapot for 3minutes-the second steep was for 5 minutes- beautiful floral aroma and taste my favorite teas are the green oolongs and bao-zhongs joanne

I got it from Seb at Jing Teashop. It was a special order as it is not something he stocks. http://www.jingteashop.com/ or find them on eBay. ← nice setup=

i prepare the oolong -modified gongfu style- the leaves were tightly rolled and after steep the leaves opened-whole large green leaves with little or no stems- i used glassteapot,teapither,and cup

richard-it is a pleasure to read your posts and questions i hope u can bring in others to this board-

iam drinking today 2008 spring li-shan "da yu ling" soft stem oolong from www.houdeasianart.com they have some of the finest tea- i have not been able to find a puehr that i enjoy since the teas i like best r green oolongs. joanne

I am going to the festival tomorrow and I am excited- is anyone else attending? jaonne

what should i expect from a traditional chinese tea room? ← I post on several websites- the one website which contained responses to my questions was on http://groups.google.com/group/rec.food.drink.tea/topics i thought that responses were interesting and also gave some insight into the tea shop arena

what should i expect from a traditional chinese tea room?

i was n nyc today wth my son and his fiancee- it was extremely hot outsde- we needed to rest for a few minutes and also to have some tea, etc- i had heard so many nice things about the tea galley- we were less than impressed with this tea shop- the owner was rude and not very friendly- we wanted some tea-none was oferred to us-we were told that we could have a tea tasting at $24.95 a person- we left and will not return-

my favorites this spring- "long feng shia" 2008 spring shan-lin-shi nantou jade oolong "soft- stem oolonh 2008spring li-shan "tsui feng" from www.houdeasianarts.com I am eagerly awaiting 2008 spring oolongs from www.shanshuiteas.com I am on vacation and had the pleasure of meeting Brian Wright of shan shui teas on my drive down to florida.

I would like recommendations for Brunch next Sunday

Just curious-what was disappointing? The selection? Prices? Do tell! I'm probably going to be over that way this weekend. ← the selection was not as large as i expected- i didn't find the sales ppl falling over me to try to help and the d'artangan product selections are better at the king's in cresskill-

I shop at the market Riverside Market quite often, and it amazes me that nothing is happening at that alleged wine shop. I mean, who is paying the rent on that empty space? There is actually one good very wine store in Lyndhurst ("good" being relative to the rest of Lyndhurst). It is probably no coincidence that it is a stone's throw from the Rutherford border. http://www.winepronline.com/ ← i agree with u 100% the 2 young men that r in store r friendly and helpful at all times

I visited the store this afternoon- I was a little disappointed I prefer total wine in riveredge

Coming home from work Thursday evening I noticed a sign in window- building for sale does anyone know what is happening or not happening?
