Definitely visiting and drinking, although I would like to bake some goodies to go along with the tea. :) No tea in my cup now, have to go make dinner, running late already lol!

I'll visit and drink and help Katy in the galley!

Started out this morning with Tippy South Cloud Yunnan, followed by Sweet Ginger Green from TeaSource at work.

JRS22, there was absolutely no discomfort, pain, anything. DH Ed said they called and told him I was in surgery, and then 7 minutes later that I was done! Numbing meds and a little relaxation med and I was not apprehensive at all!

Debunix, yep, I can't wait to look at all my tea leaves now and see the differences others have discussed on TeaChat! :)

Well, it sounds like I am expected to sit and brew! :mrgreen: That is fine by me. I have said many times that I enjoy brewing tea as much as I enjoy drinking tea.

Plus I would love to see all the :idea: light bulbs :idea: go on when TCers taste a very good Gyokuro like Kame for the first time. The good ship TeaChat will be seen for miles!

Perhaps the biggest thrill would be when ArtMom sees the light for the first time! (cataract pun intended)

Followed by getting a Houjin into members hands ...

But then I too will seek out the "experts" in pu-erh and high fired/roasted oolong so I can get one of those light bulbs for :idea: myself! :idea:

Began the TD with a tasting of Sae Midori from Rishi with SweeTea while Lili and Gandalf just hung out. Followed up by a tasting of Yutaka Midori Supreme from O-Cha.

I´m trying O-cha´s sakura sencha now...the cherry flavour is very subtle but I´m really liking the sweetness of this one :)

I'd also like to visit tsusentei and perhaps taste his shibouridashi-brewed sencha.

Woohoo, that'll make 3 of us! I think we'll have goodies covered then, for all of the samplings!

I would want to host and brew. With all you tchat experts around Im sure I could pick up some tips and improve my brewing. Well after righting that I reallize it would be just as good to go around watching how everyone else brews so I would pick some stuff up there too so Im changing my answer to both brewing and visiting. Either way it would be a blast.

Guess I will be visiting and sipping while Chip does the brewing. :wink:
