You know green tea is a tea that one could make theirself, (i am not
saying it would be great but..) if you had a tea bush or severly and
picked some nice young health leaves and steamed or dried, or even did
it like the tang dynasty or lu-yu, the tea sage, and ground it some and
boiled it. Just a thought. I heard that a good tea to grow is fu-shou
(an oolong with fat leaves). I guess with fat you get more for your
money. In Taiwan I went to a tea estate were we had a guide/farmer and
we made some oolong... they did the picking we just did the
fermenting/tossing/roasting it still took about two days, it sure did
make me appreciate "made tea"....
ceremony stuff if anyone is interested it is here.

one nice thing about a tea ceremony is it is a way to expose folks to
tea.
