In a perfect world, I would like to order from 5 or 6 places for tea before the end of the year. It will probably be less than that, but I can dream. I'd like to restock my Nilgiris from TeaSource, try the greens and get some gyokuro from Yuuki-Cha, reorder the Fukamushi Sencha Supreme and sample some of the organic greens from O-cha, get a good greener oolong and a dark roasted oolong from somewhere undecided yet, and finally sample Adagio's chai blends as it gets colder. There might also be a stop at the local tea shop pending on how fast I finish off the senchas.

Currently in my cup is Earl Grey.

Not sure of the number for the balance of the year; guessed at 4. Will definitely be ordering from o-cha when I run out of matcha and to get a samashi. I also suspect more oolong will come to me from somewhere, especially when I run out of milk oolong... and I have a woeful inability to resist sampling various things. I also had hoped to try some pu-erh at some point, so that raises the count to at least 3.

Started the day with a bowl of Uji Kiku Mukashi matcha from o-cha.

Currently having some of o-cha's Yame gyokuro and some bing cherries.

I said 6...I will probably re-order from all the places I've already ordered from this year and at least one more to-be-determined.

Today in my cup...Nilgiri (I was out, my order from Teasource arrived yesterday...mmmm, good tea!). Then this afternoon a nice bowl of matcha. Later some Den's Fuka and finally some iced Nilgiri. It was a good tea day :D

Joy,
Dreamer
