Okay, now we're talking green here in Georgia.

Taken this morning at 0845 and I even added a tea aspect to it.

That's real lovely

Also, in the second photo you will notice the paint on the yunomi is blue instead of green. That should give you a good sense of how much to trust photos.

I wish it were green. The lie is pretty.

Truth is, it lies somewhere right between the two colors, a sort of dark blue green.

I especially like the outhouse.

Beautiful yunomi!! Wow, the second pic still looks green!! Teal green???
Just outstanding!

Nicely played, King of Green!

I would like to say that I am going to have green tea this morning, but it will probably be my new Yellow Gold Orchid Oolong.
(which one of you got me addicted to Oolong?)

But, I promise to have green when I get home from work!

Are you sure you want to make that promise? When you get home you might decide to have a nice up of oolong.

[Victoria]

Green grass, green tea--same thing, no?

Nah, just joshin you.

In celebration of a poll that green tea can finally win, I'll be obnoxious and post two pictures (of fukamushi supreme):

Gorgeous photo!! I had to color correct for the green though.
Ack!! My eyes!!
LOL

Is it just me or is everyone feeling pretty chipper this morning? I think I'm still a bit groggy.

I was thisclose to voting for Green Eggs and Ham, but caved and voted for Green Tea. Of course, now I want to add "Sam I am" to the end of all my sentences.

I'm shaking things up a bit - instead of having a flavored black this morning, I am having a flavored green. Oooh, total wild child, aren't I? Anyway, it's called tropical cyclone or something similar and it's very floral. Wowza is it floral. Not quite sure what I think about it. Thankfully the liquid isn't as strong as the leaves smell cause that'll knock you back. Anyway, it's very different, but I kind of like it, but I don't think I'll reorder again, though I do like it enough to finish the sample.

Schedule for the rest of the day - getting Sunday's bulletins ready so we can actually take Friday off and having our new phone system installed. Anyone want to come over and do the recordings for that because otherwise I have to do it and I hate calling in to work and hearing my voice answer.

Say, I do like green tea
But only if it's Hatsumi
And I would drink it on a plane
And I would drink it on a train
And in the dark and in a tree
Who knew that I could like green tea?
And I would drink it in a house
And I would drink it with a mouse
And I would drink it here or there
I would drink it anywhere
I finally found a green tea for me
Thank you, thank you TC peep.

So can anyone guess where my vote went this morning?

Oolong #40 w/bfast. Maybe I'll have a green oolong later today.

[Victoria]

Well, well, well. I see Chip finally will get his Green win.

Not even a GREEN OOLONG choice.
And not even an "OTHER" because he knows me soooo well.

I voted Green Grass, but I'm very fond of Green Beans too.

In my cup this morning - I choose something very green -

Green Oolong ftw!


(ftw=for the win, btw)

[Riene]

*sighs* I voted for green trees and plants, having never met a green tea that didn't taste of lawn clippings. When I get through experimenting with Oolong, I'll beg suggestions on greens.

But BLACK will always own my heart!

PG Tips this morning, in the blue mug.

[Carnelian]

I don't know if its the fact that I'm denied green grass for most of the year by snowstorms and heatwaves, but I'd give up other forms of green (even tea) just to see that lush green lawn

[Carnelian]

What does FTW mean? I never can remember all of the abbreviations.

FTW= For the WIN! (I will admit to playing RPGs, and knowing people who play way too many of them. Consequently I know these terms before the internet does)

[geeber1]

For some reason, my browser won't let me vote, if I could, I'd vote green grass.

This morning I have iced ginger peach BLACK tea. (In a GREEN cup!)

Lovely photos today guys!

[kymidwife]

I voted Green Eggs and Ham... definitely one of my favorite green things. Green tea hasn't climbed to the top yet, but I have hopes for the future.

I thought yesterday's poll was actually very inspiring for Teachat in general... showing a happy diversity amongst us, and a healthy respect for one another's preferences (except for you sore losers). Some of the other tea spots I've visited online were so hard-core devoted to a particular tea... and since I'm still exploring, I feel out of place in those spots... so Teachat has become my online tea home... because there are so many different people loving so many different things, it's perfect for a newbie's tea journey.

Thanks for the diversity, I think it's a beautiful thing.

In my cup... iced peach ginger black from Revolution.

As much as I like green tea, there's a Sichuan restaurant restaurant near here that has the best green beans ever, so that gets my vote.

In my cup right now is 1998 HTC from Puerhshop. I'm enjoying it so far, but I haven't really gotten to know it yet. It's also the only tea I've ever had that even remotely makes me think of bacon when I smell it in the cup.
