JaimeTown@K as a beginner tea connoisseur what should I get?

Tips for beginners: - Never buy bagged tea, always loose - Never buy flavored/scented tea - Experiment w/different tea types: oolong, chinese green, japanese green, pu-erh, black, white - Buy from a variety of stores, try as many teas as possible - Pay attention to steeping temps and times, over-steeped tea gets bitter/nasty fast
thathoo@hmcfletch you will have (tea)company soon at the blippy office! although whenever i think tea, i think indian or british - slight weird to see so many 'US Americans' like tea!

Sorry, I have to have peach oolong tea, but I agree never to buy flavored green teas EVER.

Long steep times definitely kill your green tea, my personal method is simple.
-boil water -remove from burner and pour boiling water into desired cup -let sit (just the water) in your cup for 2 minutes -add water to your IntuiTEA (in my case) containing a heaping teaspoon of green tea (I like gyokuro) -steep 3 minutes -enjoy the perfect cup of green tea
