Late to the reply parade.....but still drinking lots of tea, and currently enjoying some Den's organic sencha from my Split Fire Scalloped Yunomi by Bill Perrine, from a TeaChat special offer. I owe the Yunomi to TeaChat, obviously, but less obviously, the sencha I am drinking from it: it was posts here that kept me going past my early not-very-good experiences with green teas in general, finally figuring them out so I could enjoy them, and Chip being one of the prime senchaholics did a lot to inspire that process. I'm brewing it up in a kyusu from Artistic Nippon, a seller I discovered here on TeaChat (again, Chip seemed to have many lovely things from that shop that prompted that first fateful visit). And the tea tray from Mirka Randova is from a pottery studio that I discovered via a TeaChat special offer. I could go on....to the cups I shared with a visitor (a job applicant) at work two days ago, from a vendor & potter I was introduced to on TeaChat.....hope she takes the job, we really need the help!
Anyway, thank you, Chip, for you part in making this such a welcoming place, and an important part of my tea journey! A toast-with-sencha to 11 years here, and many more moments of tea happiness online and off!
