Auggy has a lap top...I didn't even realize she had a computer?
Moved on to Hashiri. This one is an enigmatic woman...and quite fickle. Definitely not a cheap date either.
I treat her kindly each time I see her, but each time I see her, I wonder, how will she be this time, sweet, bittersweet, or just immaturely bitter.
Because she is such a premadonna, everyone wants her, yet fears her potential wrath. It is mostly a show because she is not as lovely on the inside as on the outside.
Still, I call her number...can't help it.
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

Keemun for me today too. But I'm just the opposite, I don't care for it hot, the smoky (meaty?) flavor just doesn't float my boat hot, but I can drink it cold with sweetener. Well, "I can drink it" means I am polishing off the sampler so I can use the tin for something else.kymidwife wrote: Ohhhh... and I missed posting yesterday due to work, but in my cup yesterday morning was Keemun Concerto, mmmm, I love it hot in the mornings. BUT... when I got home last night, I foolishly put the rest over ice to have with dinner. Lets just say, SOME things are not meant to be iced, and this is one of them. The smoky notes were just not pleasant at all in the iced form. Blehhhhh.
Looks pretty though:
Been on vacation, took TOO much teaware and tea, but I would have gone crazy without it. Bought some kind of indian white tea today, should have read the label but was excited since they sold loose tea. I love the taste, seems very sweet, and smells great, but I still prefer Green Anji from Adagio, my stock is running low on that one better order some more. 
Hey, whatever works! My grandma used to say that the reason her house plants all thrived so incredibly well, was because she talked to them!auggy wrote:BTW, I know everyone is dying to know, my computer is on the wifi and we are having a lovely bonding moment as it downloads days of emails and I pet it.
Actually your grandma was right about it. I have grown bonsai trees for years and took classes with a bonsai master. He continuously encouraged us to talk to our trees. After some time we got over our western self-importance and more into Zen space he was talking about, and started talking to the plants. I can attest it works.TimeforTea wrote:Hey, whatever works!

At least two beneficial things are happening: while talking you are exhale CO2 and plants like that, also you spend time with your plant and can't help but notice what's is happening with it, what it needs, your awareness increases. A plant is a alive and certainly responds to care and time given to it.

No, it doesn't. But because of the scale difference you will benefit more from it than the trees.Pentox wrote:Hm so I guess that kills my short lived dream of giving a lecture to a forest.RussianSoul wrote:Actually your grandma was right about it.

OK, OK. I'm FINALLY getting around to it. A peony for Sal. I chose the cup because Tenuki liked it when I put it on the Teaware post awhile back. And for Russian Soul, I chose the completely cliche Pai Mu Tan to go with the peony. Is everyone happy now?
I must apologize that it is slightly blurry, but all the other shots accentuated that one of the candles was absurdly crooked. (My camera had a fall at the beach and the viewer no longer works - It's now a mystery until I download the photos...New camera SOON!)
RE: the poll. I guess I thought it was asking for each of US which came first - not the philosophical - I guess I vote "tea" in either case.
