    i'm not a tea purist, but i like tea very much. I was curious when you say you got 30 steepings from 1 load, is that in 1 day? if not where do you keep the tea so it doesn't mold.

    A Chinese qigong master shared with me that China is also becoming westernized rapidly, especially with the young people. He said someday westerners may have to reteach Chinese people their own cultural treasures such as gang fu cha and qigong. It's great to see Americans keeping these traditions alive as well as the appreciation of quality tea and how it can enhance our lives.

    If I drink a cup of green tea every day for a few days/week then I get sort of a hunger pain that only goes away when I stop drinking green tea.

    I prefer black tea over green tea taste wise. Plus it doesn't cause me pain like green tea does.

    Mt. Phoenix is in Chao Zhou. Tea serves also as a tonic to hair and a prevention to hair loss. Tea is growing more popular as people in America recognize its value to all walks of life, people in fast track as those in high tech inclusive.

    @anold130 Most of the tea fields are quite far away from the reactors, on the other side of Tokyo where people are still living and working normal lives everyday. Just saying.

    A master of tea, a connoisseur, he makes you appreciate your tea much more....even if you're drinking lower quality tea with acid rain, chemically treated water! People like him make the world a more interesting and enjoyable place. Tea of course, was a significant driving factor in the current shape of the geopolitical map.
