Probably not, other than the usual eat less and exercise more resolution!

Keemun Rhapsody at home this morning and this afternoon at work, the last of some really good Yunnan from a tea swap.

Yeah, Adam, I think you need some more matcha powder ...

I've personally never made a new year's resolution. I don't plan to start any time soon, either.

Of course, nothing against those who do - just not for me!

No resolutions yet.

Right now I'm drinking my first ever cup of chai...mmmmmm, good! We were coming back from the movies (Avatar...great!) and DH and daughter wanted ice cream. Not me, I wanted tea...so they got ice cream and I came home and made chai for my son and I. Oh, so good I used some heavy cream and milk and cinnamon, ground allspice, cloves, ground ginger, a sprinkle of fresh ground pepper. This is what I had on hand. MMMMMMMMMMM, I'M LOVIN' IT!!! My son thinks it is pretty darn good, too!

I think I will resolve to have more chai in the new year.

Warm, spicy thoughts,
Dreamer

That goes for me, but not just tea! I'd like to purchase a home next year... then I'll stock it with tea! :lol:

No resolutions here. I'd never stick to them!

I've actually been drinking less tea than usual since I moved into my apartment this summer. I think it's because the layout means I don't see my kettle as often. Very curious.

Well, I'm cold and I must remedy this tea drought.

No resolutions - I'm with Chip - if it's worth doing or needs doing, I don't want to limit myself to the new year to get to it. Growth, development, learning, evolving - good year round!
Just loving reading all your sharings.
Matcha this morning, followed by organic kukicha, and now some moonlight white in a charming, tactile cory lum yunomi.
