A long TeaDay, Long Jing 2007, pretty old but remarkably GOOD, a little while ago. Now the last of some Kuki Houjicha from the pink monkey. :D

There should be TeaDay about how many TCers have this kyusu, I have read of many members owning one. :wink:
Quite right, it is quite shuweeet. I too love the natual simple beauty of the natural "white " clay. Though a TeaDay dedicated to this kyusu might be a bit of a stretch. :lol:

Occasionally the discussion over in the Live Chat begins to corrupt my mind with dark longings for various tea paraphernalia, which I'm usually able to resist.

But then again, some times I'm doing the corrupting, so it works itself out.

I crave tea pots sometimes, especially when a new tea pot would make some teas better.

Today has been a good tea day. My drawing class got to go to the park to do landscape drawings this afternoon. It was absolutely gorgeous just sitting by the river, drinking tea (Organic Monk's Blend), and drawing.

I'm sure quite a few own it. Maybe a general kyusu crave day is in order.
Or on order.

Inconceivable! This is problem which must be fixed at once!
Alrighty, I fixed the lack of tea last night with a lovely darjeeling oolong. I've had one before and was remarkably unimpressed with it - as both an oolong and darjeeling. But this one was very nice. It made me happy.

Yay! Another Heroes fan! I so enjoy it. And now I have to wait for the next episode. The first two seasons I watched on DVD so no waiting. This whole only-one-episode-a-week thing is not cool! As an aside, did you (or any other Heroes watcher) ever watch Veronica Mars? Kristen Bell and Francis Capra in the Heroes season premier. I kept calling him Weevil.

(Why do I have the feeling no one else watched Veronica Mars and now people with think I'm even more of a dork? :lol:)

Well, since I'm the pink monkey and I did technically pick it (out to purchase), I suppose it IS pink monkey picked. :mrgreen:
