late Posted November 30, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 30, 2018 I ordered 10 different types of green tea today. Yay me. These guys have melon seed tea, and that's one of the samples. Their description doesn't quite match my memory, but it's likely not from the same farm. These guys have the biggest selection of green tea I've seen. They also do black tea, but that's a project for another day. https://www.teavivre.com/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted November 30, 2018 Share #4 Posted November 30, 2018 I'm trying to stretch my green tea I bought from Kyoto, Japan when we were there last June. My stock is getting low. It's a quality and brand hard to get here without paying triple the price here. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm worried what I wind up liking will cost many times what my Mighty Leaf costs. I keep saying 'Don't buy supermarket tea'. Guess what I saw today? Yup, Mighty Leaf, including the one I use, right there in my local supermarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted November 30, 2018 Share #6 Posted November 30, 2018 Why are you buying so much tea? I have more tea now than I can use in the next 4-5 months, which is kind of a nice problem to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted December 1, 2018 Share #7 Posted December 1, 2018 I'm gonna ask dearie to check out this wholesale outlet in Vancouver for matcha tea: https://letsmatcha.com/ Either it's for Christmas or my birthday. But then, he has to buy me a matcha bamboo tea whisk..... Right now my dwindling matcha tea is in tea bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
late Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share #8 Posted December 1, 2018 I ordered some more samples from Harney on monday. I got an email saying it would be shipping soon. They even gave me a tracking number, which lets the shipping company inform me that they don't have it yet. So. the earliest they can now get it in the mail is monday. A week isn't soon. The same day is soon, the next day is soon. The day after that isn't soon, but hardly worth griping over. But a week is only soon if you're British. While the warehouse is in America, you can tell it's run by Brits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like to make tea iced as well, their Lemony Gunpowder is fantastic iced. I wish I liked green tea as much as I like black tea, but I do not.

I first tried it in the 1970s, and bought some (mostly for the heck of it) at an Asian grocery about a year ago. I like the milder types. I also like black better, I start the day with black, and when that gets old, I brew up 12 oz of green. You might like matcha. Matcha needs some stirring, I use this (it's also good for making hot cocoa) https://www.amazon.com/aerolatte-Deluxe-Frother-Stand-Stainless/dp/B0001RT1OS/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1543688243&sr=8-7&keywords=aerolatte+frother https://letsmatcha.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
