In my cup this afternoon Fujian Jasmine Pearl from the Adagio Masters collection. Really smooth and delicate.

Hm, not much to suggest that I haven't already seen posted...

Some Peach Flambee at work, and some Snowbud with dinner post-workout. Not overly exciting, but very tasty!

I want to reiterate my previous suggestion about estimates of water temperature from Chinese culture:
shrimp eyes, crab eyes, fish eyes, dragon eyes

This is not ready yet. I will tweak quite a few things. Just need a few days to rest my eyes and then do the final edits. Also there will probably be a light version e.g. on a light background. At least that's what I'm thinking now.
Anyway, I would appreciate if you guys could check the spelling. I'm particularly concerned with Chinese/Japanese names.

Here's the preview:

Jazz,

Kool!!! still checking it out! Very interesting color scheme.

I will need to run it by a few Adagio peeps for final approval since it does have their name on it and TeaChat which is owned by them.

I am checking the one word out that I did not recognize.

Anyone else want to take a stab at it, since it appears we will likely not inventory T's, there can be multiple designs. (Unless Adagio would surprise me and say lets order a bunch ... )

Chip, I sent you a pm but I'm not sure you got it? I could add the adagio logo but I don't have the right file (.ai). As for the color scheme: I took it from guess what? Tea leaves :)
However, keep in mind that what you see on your monitor will not necessarily look the same when printed. In fact, it certainly won't.

When printed these colors will look more (most likely) toned down. I will make a version of this design on a white background for those who might prefer that.
Black and white option - that's a good idea. Also night be a less expensive to print as it's just one color.
I thought this might look pretty good on a tote bag as well :)
