Made my own genmaicha today and yesterday…
Used a shade grown green tea that my best friend received from a relative in Japan and Yamane-en’s ‘Toasted Mochi Rice & Tokachi Black Soybean’ combination. It was quite amazing.
While my adorable Tae Kwon Do Master bestie kicked the life out of some martial arts pads, I made tea for us both and watched her with pride. We make the best duo. :p

I joined Steepster back in August of 2009. Since then, I have been lurking around shyly and taken it all in. Just recently, I decided to log all of the teas that I have in my cupboard and from there I decided to be a bit more active on the site!
I’m addicted to four things: Tea, wolves, indie perfume, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
My favorite teas right now: Ming Hong and Halmonicha
Broadly speaking I also love: Most Chinese red teas, most Fujian oolongs, and balhyochas.
I’ve been drinking loose-leaf teas since childhood. I love everything from tieguanyin to gyokuro to a good British cuppa. I am looking forward to trying every tea type out there and building an extensive pu-erh library.

That’s sound soo good!
