Looks like a road show, but had some good tea so far. Not sure what the rest of the day will bring.

Began the TD with a tasting of Den's Kunpu and following up with Adagio's Masters Shincha with Mrs. Chip.

Spent most of the day at a cookout with my dad. Lots of fun!

No tea there, but since I'm home now, thinking of some Shincha.

Also, I tried the Adagio Masters TKY yesterday. Very light but full of flavor. 6 infusions, too. :D

No traveling, unless you count running a couple errands and meeting my roommate's friends for dinner. My father's 4 states away, so a card sent last week and a phone call will have to do. And I'll be there to visit over the 4th. It's just too far to drive for a weekend (drive up all day Saturday, visit Sunday, miss work to drive home Monday? Don't think so).

Tea factors in, though, as always. Had some partially-homemade chai with breakfast/lunch - Adagio's Oriental Spice brewed extra strong and put over some room temp. evaporated milk, added a little more spice to taste and a little bit of honey... was pretty darn good for a first ever attempt! No tea since noon, but thinking about some hojicha now...

Came home to an Adagio Masters Pouching tasting with the Mrs.

Time to pull a TeaPoll out of the magic teapot!
