Monday TeaRoom 9/28/09 Nicknamed and famous?

[Chip]

Began the TD with Hatsumi from O-Cha with SweeTea looking for a tea handout while Pyrit was looking to score cat treat booty.

Next up, Zencha Fuji Super Premium which it is.

[Salsero]

Yes (urgh) the football team.

My hometown is famous for Frisbee Pie Company, PT Barnum, and the first Subway restaurant. It was once a destination spot back in its heyday and was mentioned in a Mark Twain novel ~ Bridgeport, CT, the Park City.

Had some Sencha Premiere today. Hope everyone had a great TeaDay!

But also Tom Petty! I think his musical awesomeness trumps football any day!

Cyn, I was born in Bridgeport and grew up in Easton! I used to love the PT Barnum museum and the seals at Beardsley Park.

Small world! Then you know that modern day Bridgeport is famous for its crime. Beardsley Park is still nice! As is St Mary's-by-the-Sea.

When I think of Easton I think of Silverman's Farm!

Chillicothe, OH is famous for the biker rodeo. Bikers from all over come to chillicothe for a weekend to drink and drive motorcycles around the fairgrounds. Im so proud but I guess its better than nothing.

no tea yet, maybe pu or oolong

We used to buy all kinds of veggies and apples from there. I remember my parents sending me there to get corn - 12 ears for $1. Now that was a LONG time ago!

Ya Oxford, MS or "University", MS is known as the Harvard of the South

Oxford MS is also famous as the home town of Will Faulkner, where he lived for all but the first four years of his life.

Houston, we've got a problem. The space center is one claim to fame here. Houston is not a pretty city, but it is an interesting one. To many things to point out but the art car parade is a blast and it's second to NYC for the theater.

I had some Tiawan Jade this morning. Very nice but not as nice as the Dong Ding I had yesterday. That stuff was awesome.

Every town around Boston is famous for something. G. H. Bent Company in Milton is the oldest cookie factory in the US. They are credited with ``inventing the cracker'' and they supplied hardtack to the Union soldiers during the civil war. I've never tried one but I've heard that they are hard enough to be that old. When I was young, I used to think that the Bent Cookie Factory was selling broken cookies.

Supposedly, separating the Colonies from England was first discussed here and was penned as the Suffolk Resolves. Milton Academy is a few blocks away, and Milton Hill, which slopes to an estuary leading to Dorchester Bay, has caves that were used by early smugglers. Is it a coincidence that the Forbes Estate resides on that hill??? Also, CNN named Milton as one the 10 Best places to live in the country.

Started the day with Adagio's Ali Shan, followed with Hibiki-an's Premium Sencha, and had Foojoy's Fenghuang oolong with supper.

[depravitea]

Nothing worth mentioning about my town...
Best thing about it is that Seattle isn't too far away

[Intuit]

>Best thing about it is that Seattle isn't too far away

Ain't that the truth! My town is on Depravitea's way to Seattle, a well-known pitstop (potty patrol, gas, a burger and coffee) located along the I-90 corridor amidst the wastelands....oops, I mean the 'scenic channeled scablands... of Eastern Washington'.

Indian white tea this afternoon. Getting low, must reorder or suffer the pangs of withdrawal and deprivation.

Heh, Intuit, scenic channeled scablands sounds SO much prettier than wastelands!
