Bio
My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.
Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.
I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!
Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)
Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.
I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta
95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around
94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase
89-80 Pretty good, above average
79-70 Acceptable
69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it
59-50 Ick
49 and below Nasty

I may have to take you up on that recommendation! I tried some Houji kukicha at a shop today (since the shop owner told me roasted green tea didn’t exist… I decided not to argue). It tasted good… but not perfect. I’ll have to try Den’s, since it’s made of imaginary roasted leaves ;)
I do recommend checking them out. If you get the $3 sampler it comes with some houjicha. :)) http://www.denstea.com/bnew-to-dens-teab-3-green-tea-sampler-for-novices-c-377_386.html
Thanks for the link Amy.
