I think I'm going overboard
I read someone's message about decaf teas at SpecialTeas and went to
see about the samples. I got interested and started going through and putting anything that sounded good in the cart and finally quit when I realized that not only did I have 47 dollars worth of samples in my cart, but I wouldn't be able to distinguish one from the other if I tried drinking that many teas, but I wouldn't be able to remember my favorites if I did, no would I finish them in a timely manner so as to be able to enjoy them. SO, what would you think would be the best way to try these teas or any from any of these online tea stores so as to develop not only a palate but a preference and still have some fun. Should I stick to a pre established sampler pack of one of the types of tea at a time, or go with a sampler pack of each? what did each of you do to begin to learn about tea. I love oolong, but also like green and black. thanks, Kitty

I also asked here, and based on the FAQ I tried some Oolongs as well. That said, I think SpecialTeas has sampler packs which give a decent start onto certain tea types. I found them to be a good place to start myself. Steve
