Thursday/Friday TeaDay 3/3/11 Odds are, restraining order?

[Chip]

Yesterday's TeaDay continues into today! Please continue to share what is in your cup throughout the day.

Of course, continue to share your thoughts on the topic as well.

Bonus topic, if you are buying tea or plan to very soon, please share what you will be ordering?!?

We are looking forward to sharing this TeaDay with everyone, bottoms up.

Today I'm drinking some aged puer and some aged roasted wulongs. I will be ordering some green teas very soon. The harvests will be coming in two or three weeks. That's always good times.

Continuing my Gisui trials, back to the Gisui itself



13gm Da Wu Ye in the 200ml Tokoname

Oops too much leaf or too many seconds very powerful

I am preparing a small order at Hojo's (yes, him again...) to buy a cake of his Mi Di Raw puerh I really liked. I am buying and sharing it with a teafriend, I often do that to reduce the costs and be able to buy more stuff in the end. I will order a couple of small bags of his japanese teas. This will help me to wait until the shincha season. Maybe a couple of 15g dan cong teabags which will make great presents for friends.

I am looking at the kyusu but I am not decided yet...

More 90's Pindong last night and this morning.
This is my not so authentic yixing teapot, which actually makes great tea. I assume it's slipcast.

Well a decent sized order just arrived yesterday containing a good bit of Sencha, Gyo and Matcha, and that is hopefully my last Green tea order until new harvests start coming in.

But I will likely still place a few orders for teas that are not so dependent on freshness such as Roasted oolongs.

Thanks for coloring our TeaDay Tortoise and H_M! H_M, what does the inside of the lid and canister look like on those? I am wondering if there is some type of seal? They sure are impressive en masse!

Looking at only 2 - 50 gram bags of unopened sencha, I would have liked to not order again til shincha ... hm.

Began the TD with Hosen from Ippodo with the Mrs. Only 1-2 sessions of this sencha left too.

I am on day two of a 3 stamp old bush shui xian from the Mandarin. This is serious candy for the rock tea lover.

Welllll, since you answered the riddle ... ???

Finishing up a great TD with Musashi from O-Cha and Nada's 90's Bulang started yesterday. Great TD!

Not ordering anything until the Spring gao shan cha's arrive at my local tea vendor. I usually go there, taste a few, then get 1/2 lb of my favorite. While I'm there, I am allowed to get 1/4-1/2 lb amounts of other favorites, usually a white tea, a black tea, and a jasmine tea. This year I'm going to splurge on some dancong. Kind of done with my Tiekuanyin and Wuyi phase for now. Also, I broke a beautiful Ru Kiln cup this morning (See the Teaware Loss thread), and promptly went on Ebay to purchase a replacement, which comes in a set of 2. Money spent, that wasn't planned for. I cannot buy any tea right now!

Currently still working through 1.5 oz jasmine pearls, 1.75 oz. silver needle, 1 oz. Fu Shou Shan, 1 oz. Yunnan gold buds, 2.5 oz. Taiwan grown Tiekuanyin, a chunk of shou puerh, and a couple of green and black samples.

Enjoying a tiny pot (it's so cute!) of that Taiwan grown Tiekuanyin. Not bad. It keeps going and going...after about 7th or 8th infusion, if I use boiling water, tastes a bit like rice crispies. Excuse the picture quality. Still figuring out digital camera settings.

Not aware that I have answered it yet???

What purpose did I buy it for?

I tend to order too much tea.
I am only able to control it with waiting just some more time. And my list grows and grows. Think I have to drink more tea
