This week is features two very green teas; O-Cha.com's Sencha Yutaka Midori (3 min, rumbling) and Mellow Monk's Top Leaf (3 min, rumbling), both claimed to be top notch green teas from each company. Do both teas live up to the hype? Was this episode sponsored by KFC? (No.) Should it have been? (Yes.)For photos from this episode, visit our Flickr pool, and for more episodes and other tea tidbits, visit STeaPtv.com. Contact Joe and Brandice via [email protected].

Today's teas were both floral (rose and jasmine) with green tea. First, we tried Floral Jasmine by Felicitea (3 minutes, 180?) and then Really Goethe by SerendipiTea (prepared in the same way). Both teas were found to be very floral, but Brandice got a bit feisty about one of them... beware! You'll have to watch to find out more...For photos from this episode, visit our Flickr pool, and for more episodes and other tea tidbits, visit STeaPtv.com.

Today we look at two very different Oolong teas. First up is Formosa Wenshan Baochong Choice by AuraTeas and then Tankha Oolong from The Simple Leaf. Both have their own special taste, but which is more oolong and, more importantly, which is better?Special Note: The Formosa Wenshan Baochong Choice is AuraTea's current tea of the month.For photos from this episode, visit our Flickr pool, and for more episodes and other tea tidbits, visit STeaPtv.com.

Today we're rocking the genmai cha a second time, with Upton's Gen-Mai Cha (3 minutes, 180 degrees) and Choice Organic Genmaicha (3 minutes, 180 degrees). Joe and Brandice each enjoyed one more than the other, but as usually, disagreed on which one. You can see which one might be a cha-cha-liscious option for you by watching the episode.For photos from this episode, visit our Flickr pool, and for more episodes and other tea tidbits, visit STeaPtv.com.

This episode is a smörgåsbord of random conversation, peppered with some ice tea tastings here and there and chock full of every topic imaginable. If you've ever wanted to see Brandice and Joe just sit around with some iced tea and just chat about life and all things geeky, then this is likely to be one of your favorite episodes. Iced tea seems to generate lots of conversation, so prepare yourselves for a lack of tea talk (aside from one of the iced teas drawing some angry berating) and an abundance of random chit chat. Iced teas sampled: Honest Tea's Just Green Tea, Upton Kirkoswald Estate FBOP, and Upton Midsummer Dream (all iced).For photos from this episode, visit our Flickr pool, and for more episodes and other tea tidbits, visit STeaPtv.com.

Brandice is back from her wedding and we're trying two new flavored Green teas; serendipiTea Fiji (3 minutes, rumbling water) and Kyoto Lemon Flavored Green (3 minutes, rumbling water).

We're revisiting Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse a second time, with two more of their teas: Silver Dragon Green (no link) (3 minutes, rumbling temp) and Jasmine Silver Needle White (4 minutes, rumbling temp). As usual, Joe and Brandice spend most of this episode in complete and utter disagreement with one other, perhaps even more so than the average episode.For photos from this episode, visit our Flickr pool, and for more episodes and other tea tidbits, visit STeaPtv.com.
