The question is: When am I not thinking about tea?

In my cup this AM is some very nice darjeeling from mightyleaf.

i do a lot of anticipating about my next tea, and usually i'll stare at the tea shelf, more dazed than thinking, till the inspiration to brew a particular tea strikes me. tea is more or less constantly in my frame of reference, even if i'm not directly thinking about, which i do often enough.

I'm spending more and more time as my obsession grows. I fear by the end of the summer I will have sold off all of my belongings in order to fly to China/India/Japan and pick tea for a living.


Actually, it's more likely that I'll just start investing more and more of my money made from selling off household items into teaware and exotic teas. Mmmm.

Yes, I think there definitely are times when I don't think about tea. I remember once about 8 months ago ...

So far today drinking Giddapahar Muscatel Imperial, 2nd flush, 2007.


The rose is Lafter, a Hybrid Tea class that withstands enormous abuse and can grow in Florida on its own root. This may be the first time I have ever used my cupping set, but I was inspired by a post Pentox had in his blog about a month ago. It's fun!

That is a piece of tea leaf in my tea, Tenuki. The bug is up my ... bonnet. And you will be happy to know that I used 2.5 grams of leaf.

Sorry to hear about the growth of your obsession, DiR. Is your avatar a bit of a Degas painting?

Nice Sal, sympathy for omegapd's situation is the only thing preventing me from multiple copies and "so whatcha gonna do"s.

I breakin' out the bi lo chun again today after squeezing a last few brews from last nights loose shu.

Sometimes I think about not having tea, does that count? Like "if we go there then I won't be able to have tea for 8 hours" or "this stuff surely doesn't qualify as tea".

That photograph is beautiful... and so, in the tradition of TeaChatters since a couple of days ago, I "quote" it. What care I for bandwidth?

Hmmm, nude tea photos. Don't forget the rose clenched in your teeth.

I've only had three cups of tea this weekend. Iced Tea. I made the horrible mistake of taking a trip to Frye's.

This is the kind of creative thinking that makes us love you so, P.

I'm at a loss for words!

Sorry, the plan was to display only the tea in the buff. Now if you would like to arrange a special show ...

[...and, take my word for it, if you go for THAT offer, it's the tea deprivation affecting your judgement.]

Hey Thanks!

There sure are some friendly people around here...

Enjoying some Organic Orange Spice stuff my wife picked out. Well, enjoying isn't the right word but she likes it.

I think about tea often; I'm always on the quest for great tea. It's a constant adventure. But more importantly, I really want to put my hand through the computer monitor right now, grab that aromatic cup of darjeeling, and bring it to my lips. That would rule.

I think about tea a lot. I start the day with "what tea do I want for breakfast?" followed by "what tea would taste good during classes?" and "how much tea do I need for classes?" After that is "tea would taste good right now" or "I need more tea" repeated for the rest of the day.

Right now, I am at the stage of "what tea will help get me through working on my power point presentation that has to be presented tomorrow at 7pm?" I tried some Spring Darjeeling again this morning, but it still is not something that I really like yet so I need something better to function for the rest of the afternoon.

In answer to the question...all of the above...all at the same time. Even when I am not "thinking" about tea, I am still thinking about tea. And if you incude TeaChat...well...let's not go there.

Still drinking leftover sencha Tokusen, still hoping the mail will bring shincha.

A piece of dark chocolate that I am willing to share...

Moved on to adagio TKY...
