I have had a few occasions where I dream about tea and tea ware. Most of the time it is when I crave a certain tea. I have my brewing routine down so well that it plays out very realistically in my dreams and then I wake up wondering why I don't have a cup of tea in my hand.

Currently in my cup is Yutaka Midori from O-cha, which I actually have dreamed about within the last week.

Ending my tea day with some kukicha. I'm trying to like this, because of its supposedly light caffeine, but it's not really that great. Not awful, just not something I'm ever likely to crave.

Den's roasted hoji-kukicha is slightly better, but it still isn't something I'd drink otherwise. Beats Rooibos, though.

Yes, yes I have dreamt of tea, teapots, and most forums and websites I visit. The main reason is that my brain tends to playback parts of my life while asleep- sometimes to my distress. Luckily I tend to recall the gist of the dream so if I forgot a detail or some fact I'll recall it the next day. It is especially fun when you dream of reading a dictionary and suddenly have nine or ten new words to add into your vocabulary.

In my cup: Darjeeling #1, decent and much more flavorful than the #22. Still turns out poorly when over steeped, though.

Weird, I lost my last TD post, or was I just dreaming I posted :shock: :?: :idea:

Yabe Organic from Japanese Green Tea Shop a little earlier, now Sencha Karigane. A very nice TeaDay.

Yes, I have dreams about drinking tea w/TeaChatters here on the forum :wink:

I have a vivid imagination and have shared tea w/numerous personaliTEAS from TeaDay! It's weird how one can have a preconceived notion on what someone looks like without ever meeting them :!: :!: :!:

I might be surprised at how right or wrong I may be if I ever get to meet some of my 'dream tea drinkers!' And I just might get to meet 2 of them soon for tea and lunch, sure hope it works out! Or, if we do share pictures in the TeaHouse 8)

I dream about tea sometimes. I just had such a dream last night, actually. I was lost in this huge shopping mall/hospital/elementary school (it was all three in one). I had a battered teabag in my hand -- one of the Twinings English Breakfast bags I keep in my purse -- and all I wanted was some hot water. It was this whole epic saga, with people directing me to one place only to be directed elsewhere once I arrived. I woke up craving tea. :)

I think I want some English Breakfast, now, actually... :)

Boy, talk about power of suggestion :!:

I dreamt about Adagio TeaV last eve, and the only thing I can remember is that we were all forced to create a flavored signature blend in order to remain as members of TeaChat and we had to purchase I think 5 different ones too!!

My apologies to Adagio and anyone who likes Flavored Teas, we all have our preferences!

I do not like them thus, it really turned into a nightmare as many of us got violently ill as we were made to taste test numerous blends :twisted: Why we were all together doing this I have no idea, but you know how disconnected and bizarre dreams can be :wink:

Hey, anyone else have more "tea related dreams" since this topic was posted?

I must be easily influenced as I have dreamt TEA since :!: :!: :!:
Last eve I was chasing someone around, who I have no clue, trying to get them to give me back my fave Japanese tea cup :?: Weird.
