It's Almost Spring Tea Season...

And I cannot wait to get some fresh tea! Anyone waiting to get this years round of spring tea? I’m planning on ordering (or pre-ordering) some Japanese greens from Yunomi probably, Maybe a darjeeling, and some Chinese greens. To help me pass the time, tell me what you’ve got your eye on! Any particular types of teas you’re thinking about getting fresh from this year’s harvest?

Even though I’m not a big green tea drinker, I always want to get some fresh green tea in the spring. I’m thinking of getting some Anji Bai Cha and Handmade Bi Luo Chun from Teavivre this year. Has anyone tried the pre-Qingming greens from companies like White2Tea, Bitterleaf, or The Sweetest Dew? I’d be interested to hear if they’re worth the hype/price.

Also, does anyone have a Teavivre gift certificate they don’t plan on using?

Just ordered some Book Cover Green from W2T. It’s the cheapest option they had on site, but the description was too intriguing to pass up. Thought about Teavivre, but the sizes weren’t realistic for my cupboard haha

Somehow, I consider getting more of Wooricha. It is a black tea for special occasions, but I would like to focus on it more. Also, new harvets of Georgian tea is almost a must (no matter if it will be Guria Likhauri, or I will try again direct from Georgia).

No fresh green teas I guess. Also there is 15 % off on Paper&Tea website!

Ooh. The Georgian teas I had from what-cha a while back were fantastic. I bet the first flush will be fun to sip down

The $10 shipping charge dissuaded me from ordering greens from White2Tea. I was also worried that they’d be too bitter. You’ll have to let us know how the Book Cover Green turns out.

I’m thinking of getting two 50 g bags from Teavivre, but you’re right, that’s a lot of green tea for someone whose first love is oolong. :)

I’m very excited to try it! Of course I had to add a few more teas from W2T to ease the sting of the shipping cost :) I didn’t think it was too bad, especially considering I paid almost $30 for my pre-order of sincha from Yunomi….
