the holy shit-Out: what is goign on (HE QUIC BROWN OX UMP OVER HE Z OG)

What kind of tea did you order,S'pose?

Today I recieved a few samples from a company called "Adagio" they are relatively big and I want to see if their Sencha is good enough to be considered a daily tea for it's price(honestly seems a little overpriced unless it's VERY good. I got a few things from them. Their lower grade sencha, their premier sencha(this is very overpriced no matter what) "Black Dragon Pearls"(I haven't had a pearl type tea before and the sample was cheap enough to chip on), Jamine green pearls, a yunnan black and then just some basic Dragonwell(gotta love that beany tast).

Yesterday's package and the other one that came today are the exciting one's though. Yesterday was a bunch of free(shipping and the samples themselves free of charge for my tea-blog which is slowly starting up) which included a lot of old puers which is very very very exciting since he's known for his bargain finds in terms of quality.

Then I ordered something from Mellow Monk LLC who have a specialize in Japanese greens which included almost every one of their products in the 100g size. They have a ~20% off and free shipping for over $35 of product offer on their site if you use the tag: MELLOWREDDITOR so I jumped on trying out their stuff since it's highly popular in my circles. Most of it is just sencha or other various Japanese greens grown in different places and with different qualities in terms of effort it takes to grow or how they are picked.

It's going to be a fun 4 day weekend!
I really should figure out a tl;dr to shorten that...

Pearls tend to be more expensive from what I've seen.

Checking out this Mellowmonk site to compare prices.

Prices on Adagio look good to me.

I'm just curious, how do you think it is fan service?

[Gypsy]

I didn't say that at all, I was making a general statement about anime. Sorry for any confusion.

Adagio is usually hit or miss on quality though, which is why I'm only going small at a time. Mellow monk is highly trusted in the green tea communities I've lurked so I was willing to go hard on their site. If it holds up to the quality of the sencha I've gotten from o-cha then I might browse them a bit more carefully to see if the price is a bitch cheaper than EMS + Sencha cost.

I'm in love with the o-cha sencha I got though and it's not even their best one!

I'm offended,how dare you post that!:

[Gypsy]

Yeah I'm not too big on sencha, so I'd probably just try the cheapest one on monk. I like to try all kinds of crazy tea. Though I have some ones that republic of tea sells that I really like. And some place in Iowa that I'm forgetting the name of but they have some good custom teas.

[Gypsy]

Which one did you get on o-cha?

It's not the lowest quality but not the highest. I bought Matcha supplies and chipped it in also. I'm not big on Sencha but I like to try everything. I'm more of an oolong/Puer guy myself since Puer is very variable in tastes and oolong is a sweet nice casual drink. I found the o-cha sencha to be amazing so it sparked my interest in pursuing sencha again.

We're watching Spaceballs. I'm laughing my ass off.

I've never really tried Republic of Tea, however that's probably because when I dove into tea I did it pretty hard and went to the sites that are full of people who've been picky about their teas forages and are huge on some rather snobby things and talked with a lot of self-servicing vendors who visit China during the harvests to travel farms and purchase teas.

Mmm, wouldn't be the most I've paid for tea but a little high. Too bad they don't have sample sizes.
