It was close between chinese and taiwanese but taiwanese won with either the da yu ling or taiwan wuyi.

No tea today.

Definitely Rooibos blends. I'm still loving Blueberry Rooibos. I drank a lot of black Tanzanian tea.

I have to say Ceylons have been my favorite for the summer...I've enjoyed having it hot at breakfast and iced later in the day...even bringing my own on vacation!!!

True to that, that's been my tea for today!

Happy, happy,
Dreamer

Luckily, my daughter outgrew the Wiggles before we got to hear the teapot song! I saw them the other day as I was flipping through channels and they looked 1) way older and 2) way thinner. It kind of made them look even creepier than they used to. :shock:
Yeah, they all do seem a bit skeletal lol
If it makes him happy, I can live with it.
The songs just keep repeating in my brain.
Stupid Wiggles...

EDIT:

I have blown the Wiggles out of my brain by watching Alien :) ... and then Aliens :D

My two faves were Hou de's Spring 2005 Lao Cong Shui Xian from Zheng-yen, and Jing's semi-wild wudong dancong. I drank a load of good Japanese tea, too, but these two Chinese teas really captured my attention.

Cracked open a bag of surugawase from O-Cha. It was interesting and tasty when brewed like their miyabe. Meng Ding Huang Ya looks good before bed.
