Tea Madness
My method of unwinding these days is usually a cuppa hot tea, some new music and a book/magazine/surf on the net/chat with Shwang on MSN. And so, I've been in a tea-buying mood and friends/family have been kindly contributing to my stash too.
Soon, I will reach my Melbourne days when I had 17 varieties of tea to choose from.
Right now I have:
From Lipton:
1) Orange
2) Ginger and Lemongrass (o-so-calming!)
3) Jasmine Green
From my parents' trip in China
4) Suzhou Green Tea
5) Suzhou Red Tea
6) Suzhou Black tea
7) Longjing
8) Buddha's Tears (Jasmine-s0-fragrant)
9) Caramel Ceylon Tea(wonders of Dilmah!)
10) Vanilla Ceylon Tea (wonders of Dilmah!)
11) Japanese Sencha
12) Tie Guan Yin
13) Boh Tea (ha!)
14) Chai (Shan bought for me from Melbourne!)
15) English Breakfast (can we ever do without the basics?)
16) Earl Grey (see above comment)
WOW! Not bad at all. :)
Cuppa in hand: Ginger and Lemongrass herbal infusion to soothe the chilli crabs and to complement my lemongrass essential oil in burner.
I'm obsessed. ;)

You are truly a tea guru. I am in awe of such tea knowledge. The basic tea for me is black broken orange peko (Brooke Bond Red Label). I drink it all the time, but still manage to give the impression of living a normal life.
Stop by http://www.teamadness.com to see what I mean.
Which teas on your list have "body?"
