Any changes in your tea drinking for 2009?

[Richard Kilgore]

I'm just curious. Have you made any changes in your tea brewing and drinking this year?

Teas that are new to you?

New brewing equipment?

New tea cups?

New brewing techniques?

Pictures welcome!

Okay, I'll jump in.

I think the biggest change for me has been exploring Japanese green teas more this year, and brewing them in Japanese kyusu tea pots. I have been drinking some very good sencha and kukicha from The Cultured Cup for several years, brewing them in a western teapot or in a cup with infuser basket, and have just started to explore brewing in kyusus and the diversity of Japanese teas with teas from The Cultured Cup, yuuki-cha.com and o-cha.com.
