I am a student of the world of tea and although I have researched many aspects of tea extensively, there is still a tremendous amount to learn.

You article opens a new perspective on tea. That is why I liked it.

A wonderful report even for those of us in attendance. When participating in a trade show it is often times hard to enjoy the educational sessions around us. I'm glad to catch up on some of the events.

Hi, you forgot to fill in what percent...

"All in all, tea does pretty well against other beverages in terms of its carbon footprint, coming in at only % of the carbon footprint of bottled beer."

Thank you for your blog!

Thanks, Steven. It comes in at 5% that of bottled beer.

How funny, I was just drinking and twittering about the same tea this morning! It is indeed a very fine oolong; quite magical, really. I usually go by "feel" when steeping teas, but reading your article I realize that I've subconsciously picked up a lot throughout the years that adds to the "feel" for brewing. I've still much to learn though; I guess I'd better keep drinking fine teas.

That's good news about the kid who discovered tea in Chinatown. I'd like to add that a lot of Yi Xing pottery is for men too. I have several mugs. One of them does have plum blossoms on it and those are flowers. But I have a few that are made just like old beer steins from the days before tea replaced it as a morning drink in Britain. I don't know how much more masculine you can get than that.

Absolutely agree: Women enjoy "afternoon tea" but many of the most serious tea drinkers I know are men. I think it is the geek factor with the various teawares and concerns about water temperature and steep times.

The Lapsang Souchong tea is very machismo. THe smokey flavor feels like Im drinking a cigar...in a good way.

Well said! It is also the tea most often used in cooking by chefs, many of the best who are, of course, men. Thanks for your comment. BT

I'll mark down this tea festival as one I'd like to go to someday. That's because I'm another author of a tea book. I'm now writing my first tea book, called "Spirituality of Tea." It will be available in a few months.

Is the next one in 2010 or 2011 like your blogpost said?

The Northwest Tea Festival is an annual event, and the next one is scheduled for fall 2010.

I'd encourage anyone interested in tea to attend next year. This year it proved to be a fun, mellow event with friendly like-minded people.

You bet, Lainie. There are plenty of women for whom tea takes a back seat to aspirations of neo-Victorian social forms. We're looking at nothing less than the rumblings of a tea gender clash.

These are great,

Thanks for bringing this up

Yeah that's pretty close to the way I approach young pu-erh. I've actually been using boiling water, but I do pretty much an instant poor and add about 5 sec every steep. Experimenting is always fun though!
