Wednesday TeaDay 12/02/09 Contentment in tea enjoyment?

[Geekgirl]

Now enjoying O-cha organic Oku Yutaka sencha in my new Saigan Ao Tebineri from the SO:

And kikumaru!!! I love that pot. I don't know why, it's such a plain little thing, but I just love it. Need to pick one up someday.

I am never content with my tea drinking because I can never get enough and I am always looking for Teaware.

What will make me content is .....finding a way to not work and be able to travel the world and drink tea I'll keep you posted if that every happens..


Green this morning and some Ti Kuan Yin Oolong tonight


Happy Tea day everybody!

I feel like Im farely content with my tea experience but had to vote no Change would make my experience better. I lack teaware bigtime but I am very happy with the variety of tea I have drank.

Lapsang souchong today

Good Day, fellow Tea Folk!
I find myself relatively contented with my ongoing tea experience.
I am also open and curious about new teas - and I try new teas sometimes at my favorite Tea bar (Teance has a tea bar ).
This is part of my contentedness - I am riding the currents of tea, and open to where they take me, sometimes to what I like, sometimes not, and then sometimes, I change or evolve and begin to like what I previously did not.
Began the morning with some matcha in my new Seigan Sansai Tebineri. Mmmm, mmmm, good.
Now enjoying O-cha organic Oku Yutaka sencha in my new Saigan Ao Tebineri from the SO:

Cheers.
Happy Tea Day to all.

I agree, the tea bar at Teance is very nice! I always end up spending quite a few hours there when I stop by. I just finished off a bag of the Oku Yutaka. I prob used more then a gram per ounce. So good... Also, I see you use protection for your kyusu.

[Dreamer]

Woo hoo!!! I'm in a category by myself...Uncertain/Other.

I am good with what I have, but I know that these teas may/can/will be different next time around, so change is inevitable and is, thus, welcome! How's that for a round-about answer

This morning Yunnan Imperial...mmmm. I'm the only one in my house who likes this tea; so my son got iced tea for breakfast (he does like iced tea early sometimes).

This afternoon/evening a nice session with o-cha YM in my little blue hagi cup!

Cold, rainy (is that sleet?) night here...good night for tea!

Warmly,
Dreamer

Ah, very nice! If I can go one step further, I would say that what I get out of a tea may be very different from what another person would get out of the same tea.

So for me, I'm on the fence of sometimes wishing I had a bit more of a refined palate, but most times being able to really enjoy what I'm experiencing at the moment in whatever way that happens!

For the current experience, that means continuing with some 1980s Wang Zi loose leaf sheng that I started yesterday. Excellent aged taste with a little bit of a kick...

Kyusu says, "Aww, gee", and blushes.
Thanks GG.

Guitar - another Teance-er! Yay!
Maybe I'll see you there sometime. I only usually go on Saturdays later in the afternoon - and only about every 6 weeks.
I'm the tall guy that looks like Bill Clinton (so they say).
Winnie, Darius, Daniel, Ted, and Masoud know who I am.

And, Dreamer, yeah, wouldn't want kyusu to catch anything!

Enjoying a cup of 1990's Sheng Tuocha puerh from Nada just now, ahhh.

Thanks Seeker for bringing some much needed color to TD. The Ao Tebineri SO #9 is very photogenic ... even making the simply elegant Kikumari play a support role. There was a time I would guess that there were more Kikumari Kyusu in the hands of members than any other kyusu ... it was definitely a big deal for many of us.

And welcome newcomers Feyna and ArtMom.

I am pretty content but always looking for new teas and teawares to "educate" my palate and tastes in teaware. Never quite standing still I guess. But it is now a pleasant level of contentment versus the seemingly none I had as few as 5 years ago.

Began the TD with Hatsumi from O-Cha. Followed by Zencha Fuga LE with DW. This evening Kukicha from Den's.

BTW, Hagi SO #9 is now live. Seeker displays one in his photo today. I call these uncut sapphires, they are real jewels. http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=11520

I am still sorting out which teas I like better than other teas. Perhaps better phrased as "which teas I like when"; I'm sure there's a time and a place for all quality teas. I may just not have found it yet.
