Friday TeaDay 4/03/09 What is that growin' in my teacup?

[danibob]

Not too concerned with cleaning right away. I clean my hagi pieces and yixings immediately after use. But everything else I pretty much clean the end of the day or day after if I don't have time. No funky stuff growing in my cups.

Deciding which sencha to brew right now.. hmm..

My last tea of the day is a '97 Meng Hai Factory #7572 shu from Jing. I haven't had pu for a while. This is definitely comfort tea.

Good night folks.

Keemun to wrap up the day. Yum!

[Dreamer]

I clean up by the end of the day if not sooner.

Today's tea's...Ceylon at breakfast and in my travel mug to take to work. At work, I brewed Russian Caravan...mmm, good and smokey...really good with some of the Ceylon from my mug mixed in.

This evening back to Japanese greens... I was craving green since yesterday I had black, black and a new oolong sample...it was all good, but it just wasn't green!

Hope everybody is set to have a great weekend!

I tend to clean things very soon after I am done with them. If I don't have the time to do that, like if I am making tea in the morning to take to work, then the pot is cleaned soon after I get home. I can't stand leaving dirty tea ware or other dishes in general just sitting there waiting to be washed.

Currently in my cup is Adagio's Wild Strawberry herbal. I picked it up for a change of pace from my normal not or low caffeinated teas. It is a lot better than I thought it would be.

I'm not really in a hurry to clean my glass pot since I generally have multiple infusions spread through the day, I just rinse it out before each new tea and give it a proper washing each week.

It's definitely been a tea day for me today...Keemun Hao Ya, Hojicha and Lapsang Souchong

A happily compulsive cleaner here.

I think I would define myself as fussy person on the "cleaning and washing" subject, especially in the kitchen

I hear ya Dreamer! I am not a compulsive cleaner, as a matter of fact I am not a compulsive 'anything'... well except maybe can be compulsive when chocolate is nearby

Can't wait for Shincha Dreamer, how 'bout you?

off topic - but since you have such interesting recommendations on other teas, I'm wondering where you buy your Keemun and which sources you'd recommend.

Thanks in advance

I clean out the tea infusing equipment fairly quickly. Cups can wait until I run the dishwasher.

I'm reminded of my Uncle's reaction to his favorite cup getting scrubbed out. An avid tea drinker, he uses the same cup made from that "milk glass" porcelin. He never scrubbed it and of course it got pretty brown inside. His wife decided that the first step to cleaning it out is to put bleach in it and let it soak.

The solution turn blue!

When he found it he yelled "Who poisoned my cup"?
