I voted a definite "maybe"
I will probably make re-order from Tao of tea in November and while I'm shopping I will likely try something new.
And since the Kenilworth at SpecialTeas has been heard to be "new and improved" I may order some of that too and I will likely throw something new into my cart there too.
Finally today we've had some sunshine
Apparently October here was the wettest October on record...and it can be pretty rainy in October anyway! I'm hoping for a November filled with sunny crisp days!
Within the next half hour we should be seeing some trick-or-treaters. I hope we get LOTS...I love to see the costumes!!!
My plan is to sit on the porch with a mug of hot tea and give out candy!!
Boo,

Trick or treat, give me tea that's good to drink.
Definite maybe here as well. I need to do some looking around and see if there is something new that I would like to try. So, I am looking. I know there are teas I want to try, but it will be a matter of if this is the time for it or not. Eh, changing that to a yes, who am I kidding ... it is always a good time to try new tea!
Began the TD with Kabuse from O-Cha. Mild but very good. I might try a higher leaf to water ratio to see what happens.
A bit earlier Matcha in a Cory Lum Chawan with DW.

I'm also participating in the Lochan tasting. I've had to restrain myself from opening the package... would like to taste each one in order so I have a fresh and unaltered first impression to share.
I have an order from Adagio on the way as my frequent cup points were really stockpiling. I sent a gift order to a friend, and ordered some staples for myself as well as a few new items: Dancong Aria, Black Dragon Pearls, and Huang Jin Bolero... and one of my Signature Blends called An Appetite Suppressant. Its one of the few of my blends I haven't actually purchased, but it's been so popular and a frequently re-ordered blend, I decided I must have some for myself.
