Hiding my identity! I found it written under a cup I was drinking tea from (not my own cup). Most of the letters in it can be found in my real name, too.

Had some excellent sencha, but the dreary weather is making me crave indian-style tea.

My username originated from an actual name, my last name! Organic Shizuoka Sencha Kanayamidori this late afternoon. :D

Its my name and some numbers :). I don't use this anywhere else, usually use a combination of initials and numbers. Thought on a chat board the actual name would be better since I don't have a nickname or anything.

Silver needle in my cup tonight.

I just used my initials and my birth date. I didn't realize I would become a regular poster. I thought I would just lurk for a bit until I had learned enough about tea and teaware.

No tea today - I had a dentist appointment this morning - and after turning the clock forward I couldn't get up in time for tea. I'll catch up tomorrow - I'll be at home waiting for a package.

Mine came because I'm crafty (lots of sewing, baking, so on and so forth) and the mom on the end is because, obviously I'm a mom and adding that on is a habit left over from when I haunted mommy forums.

Yesterday was some nice jasmine pearls that I almost forgot I had. The jasmine flavor was way too strong for me when I first had it, but it has mellowed and now it's nice and balanced. Today was some standard English Breakfast.

My nickname is a personal joke between me and a close friend. We co-authored a fanfiction eons and eons ago when we were freshmen in high school, and there were two characters that were sentient, talking peanut butters (Skippy Reduced-Fat and Jif). We can't look at peanut butter without laughing.

I use this nickname on a couple other forums, but then again, I don't go on very many forums.

Rose congou this afternoon; waiting on some rose sencha to cool off.

Yea.. uncreative, mine's my first name, last initial.

Almost the last of the Fujian today at work, then some peach flambee blend with dinner. More exciting than most days recently as far as tea goes, since I actually had more than one tea!

My wife was with me for a whole day in my shop and was amazed at the amount of tea I drink, so she commented that I must pee tea, hence the nickname. I'm drinking some of last year's Da Hong Pao.

I made up entropyembrace to use while playing online games...but since then I´ve used it as an account name for lots of other things too. It´s suitably ominous for playing violent competative games I think :lol:

Today was mostly a coffee day but I did have some green TKY in the afternoon :)

Chip, because I chip teapots? I like chocolate chips? Well, not really but I do both. :mrgreen:

Chip is my nickname that I have had since before my recollection. I have the same name as my father, so it was more to avoid confusion. The nick stuck, and I use it for virtually everything.

Pretty good TeaDay filled with Kaboku from Ippodo and Musashi from O-Cha. Currently on day four of a 2006 sheng sample from PP that I know nothing about, but it is good. :mrgreen:

I talk loud, I eat loud, yet I sip tea oh so silently.
Nothing much to it really...

Oh, today I had Wild Chrysanthemum, Ku-Ding Cha and in a minute some Rooibos.

strange mix.

I often wonder how people get there User names on the net, its not like its there real name. Mine comes from a childhood. I had a black rabbit and then used that as my user name on the net starting in the early 90's. I shortened it for this site but in full its Rabbits In Black.

Made it up, and have used it as my go-to username since, when I first got online as a little kid with my favorite TV show being Gargoyles and liking cats.

Still works in both those regards, though now I also have gargoyle wings tattooed on my shoulder blades, a collection of 20+ gargoyle statues(most small enough to hang out on my dresser), and the knowledge that the year I was born is also the year of the cat. :mrgreen:

Trying to decide between what to have next, thinking some wuyi would be nice.
