Audiophile Tea

[The Computer Audiophile]

Of course there is no such thing as audiophile tea, but I know many of us in this community are tea drinkers. Let's use this thread to share favorites.

 

I look forward to seeing everyone's recommendations. I can always use new teas to try :~)

 

I'll start.

 

The black tea I drink everyday because I love the flavor and I like what the company is all about. 

 

Organic Nepali Golden Black from Young Mountain Tea

A good local Tea shop here in the Minneapolis area is Tea Source.

May European subthread be a part of this thread? 

Of course, it's all welcome. No blind taste testing required :~)

A little civilization every now and then is a good thing.

You can say that again :~)

Bamboo Stick Pu-erh, 1980s – In Pursuit of Tea

 

I did buy this for my wife for Christmas one year. That is how the Chinese used to ship expensive tea, in Bamboo.

 

She still has not used it....

I love it!

@The Computer Audiophile  Yeah, why isn’t there any AS paraphernalia, or any tchotchkes, available yet?  This could be the start of your personal fashion line.  You know, like all the Kardashians have!

This is something that kills me. A great friend is in the clothing and design business. We've created some really great AS stuff that I'd love to offer, but I haven't figured out how to handle packaging it up and shipping it out. That takes time. I also refuse to use the online shops like Tea Spring etc... that do it al for you. The stuff we've designed uses materials and design options far better, that those services offer. 

 

Perhaps a project for the weekend :~)

Just got this teapot. It's great, but not recommended for people with weak forearms.

Chris, are there 1 or 2 other Darjeeling teas you strongly recommend from Young Mountain that have a markedly different flavor so I can try some contrasting styles?

The other ones I’ve tried from there didn’t thrill me compared to my pick and I’ve long forgotten which ones they are :~(

The moment I moved to the city I live in now, 2 years ago, I found myself a new hobby (not as dangerous as audio though ) - I began buying some tea stuff every now and then. 

 

 

 

 

And last but not least..

 

                     

Fantastic!
