Today drinking the lovely 2010 Winter Lishan from Floating Leaves. I'm intoxicated by the buttery, flowery, sweet scent of the wet leaves.

Even with my previous post, I am not in a huge rush, as I can always spend time with Gyokuro.

Cant wait til spring, but not looking forward to summer :D . Not really concerned with the new harvests so much, kinda going through a pu kick, though i am starting to explore a few greens so maybe but the time harvest season gets here i will b ready for it.

Started the day with taiwan ruby tea from norbu currently drinking norbu 2005 wild tea log. May have some rishi cinnamon plum next.

Yes, counting down the days. I get tired of winter long before it tires of being here!

I'm not in a hurry for spring to arrive but I am counting the days until the new shincha offerings arrive (9-10 weeks).

Same breakfast teas today: matcha Kasumi followed seasonal DHP.

I am very much looking forward to more daylight and warmer weather, but for right now it is nice sitting by the fire enjoying a nice pot of tea.

Enjoying black dragon pearl tea in a Shelly stocks cup and saucer by the fire at this very moment :)

Oh man, I am definitely counting down the days until spring... I'm so done with winter already. :lol: (Sadly, I go to school in upstate NY, so it probably won't even be warm by the time I go home for the summer.) I guess I'm counting down the days until new harvest teas as well, but I probably won't buy any; I do like to look at them online though!

Hibiscus tea this morning; rose sencha in my cup right now. Also, I went to Chinatown today and got some tea-related candy (matcha-adzuki candy and Assam-and-milk candy).

Why yezzz, I will have to fix that. :mrgreen:

Great TeaDay, however also the last of 2 more teas, really emptying a bunch of teas this past week. But this always means more new teas to open! TD began with the last of the Hebizuka sencha with the Mrs followed by the last of the Tsuru Jirushi Gyokuro ... :cry: And finally Yutaka Midori to finish the TD.

I'm looking forward to the new spring teas. I'm hoping the winter in China was not as harsh this year.

I actually like the winters here in California. So you could say I won't be looking forward to Spring, except for the new harvests teas, especially shincha.
