I've been mulling over exactly what to order lately and while browsing
I've come across a couple spring teas that have caught my eye. I'm not
in front of my list right now but I was wondering what is the most
anticipated or a heavily awaited order that folks here have their eyes
on.

Since Mike has been absent Puerh has fallen off of my radar as well as
the price hikes across the board, but I would like a decent cooked to
add to my list. I was going to add the Si Mao Mao Cha 300 year old
Wild Arbor Tree from Jing's for an uncooked loose. I was looking
toward Yunnan Sourcing for a cooked though, so any notables from them
would be appreciated.

If anyone cares to share their wishlist/anticipated/ordered teas I'd
love to hear 'em.

I rearranged my tea closet yesterday, and realized that I am sitting
on, quite literally, tens of kilos of tea. *Which means.... I probably
shouldn't buy any more tea, anytime soon.

Heh, at least I'm not alone. I feel bad to waste any tea but some teas
are just not good and at best make fertilizer for a plant. I used to
try to salvage them into iced teas but I just can't bring myself to
brew them sometimes. I just jettisoned a shopping bag full of odd
samples and bad purchases and still have a cupboard with probably 2
lbs. of tea.

I've actually stopped this though and now only purchase what I can use
in short order and keep them rotating every 3-4 months with only a
select few mainstays. I figure it will take a year or so to get down
to a more normal amount of just high quality favorites, but I'm
looking forward to that day.

I've got a couple of Oolongs coming from TeaSpring and I suppose I'll
buy an oz. or two of ITC's greens when they come in; but,my pantry is
buldging at the seams with way too much tea and I've a cabinet full of
pu quietly growing old and tasty.
It will most likely be a slow shopping season here.
