Oddly enough, the tea lover who started the present tea thread was notified of the existence of the past tea thread by the tea lover who started the past tea thread. So naturally, now we have two tea threads.

I guess HTH just wanted to come out of the tea closet as publicly as possible?

Here's a tea stumper for anyone who's up to the challenge: What's the deal with brown rice green tea? I found this at the Japan pavillion at EPCOT. What does rice add to tea? Is it a flavor thing? Is one supposed to leave the rice in the teacup? The package was all in Japanese and the Japanese girls there were all busy selling chopsticks and sake, so I couldn't get the answers to my questions.

About Teavana, I like them hot, but have yet to figure out how to make them taste good iced. There's a gritty texture thing there that I don't really fancy. But I still have some experimenting to do. Since the teas are so good hot, it's worth finding out how to make them taste good cold, too.
