Friday TeaDay 10/03/08 Enough tea in your life?

[Shelob]

And I said I would have a hard time checking back w/the forum due to my immersion in my work!

I am enjoying my afternoon sipping on Jasmine Tai Mu Long Zbu, DEElightful!
Enjoy the rest of the day. Everyone have a good weekend, I might not be back til Monday. [they're all liars!]

Henley, I don't like cardamon at all, anyway, no how

[olivierco]

Darjeeling Phuguri FTGFOP1 to end the day

[Chip]

O/FTC Spring Sprout from Rishi.

I will need more tea, a Japanese tea to satisfy my craving. Although, a nice oolong might work.

[Salsero]

Matcha pick me up, after nursing a Shan Lin Xi most all day.

Well this afternoon I had the worst tea spill ever at work, all over my desk, my chair, the floor and myself! I had to re-run all my reports and I have to say my chair is still pretty soggy! Somehow I managed to keep it off the keyboard though!

So, this calls for ... more tea!!!

Some Adagio #18 is brewing now.

Is it time to go home yet???????????

Genmaicha (brown rice tea) is very good too, somewhat similar to mugicha. I always get the no-green-tea version of genmaicha for night use.

Hmmmmm I always learn something new here every day. I really like the genmaicha I've tried, but I never knew there was a non-green version. I will have to check this out.... vendor suggestions?

I have a new man-friend who just came back from a business trip to San Francisco. He sweetly brought me some tea from a teashop out there...

That one sounds like a keeper! A fella who goes on a business trip and doesn't sweetly bring you back a 6-pack from a very "nice" microbrewery they visited all week!

Even though I have a fraction of the tea some on this forum have, I can honestly say, "I'm good".

[kymidwife]

I have yet to try mugicha, and have wanted to for some time. What is the best way to get it?

I have considered just getting some barley and toasting or pan firing it myself since it is strangely hard to get in tea form. Or is it best to buy it as a tea? Where from, reasonably priced. I thing Ippodo has it, but I am not about to buy mugicha direct from Japan.

Mine is whole barley, not the tea bag variety. I'm not sure what vendors are best, but I will be glad to send you a sample of mine if you'd like to try it. PM me.

HA! The jury is still out. But I must admit, he's pretty sweet. And sizzling HOT.

I answered that there was definately not enough tea in my life - meaning time to make tea rather than the physical tea. When I got home tonight I just wanted to unwind with a delicious cup of something I haven't been drinking much of. ( To show my dedication - I am running out of Darjeelings and Oolongs in the sample tins ) and all I had a lot left of was Jasmine - and I thought I hated it. But making the most of my time and tea - I went by the book - and timed and followed the temparature guidelines and - IT WASN'T TOO FLOWERY !! It was delicious!! ( With honey).

So it just goes to show you.
That's all!

I got mine from local asian store, especially korean store. In the store here, they put the green tea version with tea and put the non-green-tea version together with beans and crop products, because, they say "there is no tea in it"

Friday is my working from home day and I grab the opportunity to have teas that I don't have in office
Tai Ping Hou Kui in the morning and Bi Tan Piao Xue (Flake on Green Lake, jasmine petal green tea) for noon time.
Thinking of having some - should I call it goji tea or goji water - along with a movie

[Chip]

A long day, just got in. Still a great TeaDay. Finished with Chiran Supreme from O-Cha.

[Riene]

I voted no, not enough tea in my life. Tea implies a few minutes to sit and drink it, to appreciate the steam, the leaves, the flavor, the cup. Most workdays are a "brew a pot-gulp it down" situation in the morning, no time at work, etc. About the only chance I have to just sit back and enjoy a cup is on the weekends.

[Shannon]

Heh, back again. I am pretty content with my current tea consumption, but an extra pot is always nice.
