Morning, I think.
Chocolate flavored black tea. You see a pattern here?

First cup was one of my favorites - Ooooh Darjeeling.
Got to work and my Adagio order was waiting for me..yeah! Needed a new IngenuiTea (my old one wouldn't stop peeing all over the file cabinet), and now I can't decided which sample to try first...probably mandarin green.

Wow, I can make no sense of this poll. Yesterday, the first tea of the day choice seemed to be Japanese...typically green. Today, blacks are killing greens. (hmmm, that sounds a little strange) Go figure. Well, today, the black tea drinkers are rallying early!!!
I added my green vote, a late TeaDay start...starting with Guricha today, usually a later in the day tea for me. Am I wild and crazy or what???

Keemun Hao Ya A upon rising, followed by 2 bowls of Matcha 2 hours later....
And now my daily Sencha, Fuka Supreme today, as I had my Chiran Kanaya Midori yesterday...

Guricha time expired after 5 nice steeps...
I am having Shi Feng Xi Hu Long Jing, aka, Lion West Lake Dragon Well. This is a really nice LJ, one of the best I think I ever had. The leaf sets are stunning, I just love spooning it out. The dry leaf, so nice and nutty smelling.
The brew is light, but really HQ, and not too light as some of the pricier LJ can be (and this is pricy).
This is great Long Jing. I feel priviledged to enjoy it.

Surprisingly and out of the blue, I was able to share my Long Jing with someone. I usually brew 200 ml for just myself for each steep. It was interesting only having 100 ml per steep for myself. Kinda fun. But the session flew by. I might consider 100 ml steeps for just myself, it was really different.
Now for some Yame sencha, my current fav tea that I have open.
