Pyrit was back on the 'treat scene' after being banished last eve.

Was Pyrit banished because he/she hit the iceberg?

geeber, yep ... guess to busy thinkin' about treats instead of piloting the good ship TeaChat!
Very lucky there was no plank in the vicinity last or she may have gotten the boot!

Maybe I will have better luck on Monday (the post office should work on the weekend )

You need an "other" category.

"John is busy searching the island for clay deposits to set up a workshop with a wood-fired kiln and start producing teawares."

Of course, that was assumed (actually all available options were used up), but you still need a spot a tea for motivation! So, I guess we will be paying for teaware in clams?

Given the shipwreck situation, I wouldn't want to take clams.......... that would appear a bit shellfish.

After I finish brewing up some Puerh with my best bud Pyrit I think I'll go visit Entropy for some Shincha.

Speaking of Shincha, Rishi's Nishi last night was absolutely sublime. I find that Asa's are pretty tough to brew, but when you nail 'em they can be amazing.

Started today with some Hongcha enjoyed in my Shyrabbit TASO. Nice caffeine rush to start the day.

Up next...

[AdamMY]

For the record the Shincha leaves were in the Kyusu when we struck the iceberg. They were unused they were just exposed to air a little bit, it actually turned out quite nice (in an unexpected sort of way)!

Until your kiln is working I thought we might be using Clam Shells as Tea Bowls

My teaday today started with O-cha´s matcha-iri-genmaicha and then sakura sencha

I voted for Debunix, but only after TeaSnacks are made!! Shipwrecks do make for very hungry people. Let's just hope there's an oven around here somewhere... or maybe John can whip me up a clay one? Maybe a tandoori for some TeaNaan?

[debunix]

Actually I'll first be checking which teas survived, sorting through to seenwhat kind of tastings we can have, but I might need some
nice puerh to calm down enough to start that, after our narrow escape from disaster. Getting the down-with-the-ship folks to realize we have abundant tea, tea seeds, and pots enough to make things bearable made for some tense last minute rescues. And that means I need some pu with nick!

Sayamakaori shincha and norbu tie guan yin Friday.

[Victoria]

Ummm, did Victoria make it to shore? Cuz I need some of her high mountain oolong to quench my thirst after planting all those seeds!

And did anyone bring BLACK tea?

Awww thanks Geeber for thinking of me. I was a bit seasick with all the tossing to and fro, I was in my cabin.

I grabbed the last lifeboat and I made it safely ashore finally, but I see I missed mention on the poll!

You know I have some black tea stashed away with my oolongs! Good thing it was all in airtight containers!
