Saturday TeaDay 11/21/09 You are such a TeaSnob IMHO?

[chris&amy]

You know whats funny? We live on my Boss's estate and his vacation home has a wine cellar that has about 700 bottles of wine from all over the world and some from the 1700's and I have to go in and turn the bottles every other month and everytime I go in there I think why would anybody be this obsessive over anything especially wine but now I think we have became the same way over tea and tea wares! I can't explain it but I feel like we have to keep stocking up on our favorite so we do not run out. Always need the extra accessories also. They look at us like we are crazy because we talk about tea so much and I realize that's exactly the way I used to look at them.

It has been a good tea day today .....and it's getting better!

I voted for 2 because quite honestly, people really don't notice much when it comes to me drinking tea. I mean, my friends get to share my tea when I go to Science Fiction conventions and they love the tea! So, I can't be a tea snob if I share can I?

My husband simply sighs and rolls his eyes and mutters something about an addiction

Baozhong in my cup. Been watching a tremendous documentary, History Channel's WWII (in high definition/color). Amazing photography and commentary. Probably the best depiction of the physical and emotional trials and trauma of combat of the second world war I've seen.

Now I know why my ex-father-in-law wouldn't discuss his experiences in the Pacific as a Marine in WWII. His wife told me it would revive horrid nightmares.

Strong malt whiskey would be a more fitting libation.

Last tea was a tasting of Zencha Fuji SP. And finishing the TD with some more Mugi/Genmai.

I voted "my gosh, all that tea and teaware" simply because most people in my part of the south only know of one kind of tea...sweet.

Just finished my lit assignments, now all thats left are two programs which are due after the break...celebrating vacation with some gyokuro.

Rosy Earl Grey from Teas Etc. and Upton's Tea Bank Estate Ceylon today. So I'm a tea snob number 3, can't afford to be a number 4. Go for the Gold!

I went with number 3.
People see my loose leaf tea and it blows their minds.
I must be some kind of snobbish freak.
