My Tea 2010 calendar today includes the statement that green tea drinkers are connoisseurs of the finer things in life.
I don’t know about that, but perhaps green tea drinkers are more health conscious or have a more finely tuned palate. Do green tea drinkers have different personality traits than black tea drinkers? Are they more sensitive or refined? It’s not a question that I’ll ponder for very long while I enjoy my full bodied black tea.
I was planning to share photos of Golden Assam Rare Exquisite loose tea that I received for Christmas, but unfortunately I’m starting the New Year with computer glitches and can’t retrieve my photos from my memory card. This full bodied Assam tea has a delicious flavor, with a pleasant aroma and a lovely gold tinged copper color. It takes the addition of milk very well and I will also try it with a little honey later (although I am trying to cut out sweeteners as damage control from holiday overindulgence).
What Christmas gift teas have you been enjoying? I’d love to hear about them.

I have been enjoying some peach oolong and some raspberry flavored green tea I received for Christmas. I'm also going to *try* to drink the puerh I have regularly to see if it really and truly helps with weight loss!
Well I didn't receive anything tea related this year, which is the first time in years, but I DID receive a wonderful new blender. So I'll be posting tea recipes using it and can't wait.
First of all, that is the cutest tea pot I've seen in a while. I have been having chais, yum, so perfect for cold and snow and gray. Got some blooming teas but they smell like burnt plastic - not conducive to even a first sip. Oh and a very nice pineapple - Hawaii for me, I wish.
I also didn't get anything tea related this Christmas... but that's ok because I got a new sweing machine, wooohooo! I'm so excited! I've been using every excuse to go play with it, why even this morning I simply HAD to hem my pants before I went to work. Had to, just had to.
Happy New Year!
Over the Christmas season I purchased several teas - a strawberry tea, licorice spice tea and a loose leaf christmas spice tea. I really like the strawberry and the licorice. The christmas blend not so much. I did get a new cup from my daughter and my husband gave me a gift certificate to Bernideen's.
I wholeheartedly agree that green tea drinkers are connoisseurs of the finer things in life! Here, here! Of course, I could be a wee bit biased... *grin*
I do love tea. Period. It's just that green tea has become the ultimate in drinking pleasure for me, far superseding black, red, and herbals. It didn't happen overnight, though, so I suspect my taste buds did become more cultured over time. What do you think?
Breathe deeply,
Laugh with abandon,
Love wholly,
Eat well.
