I really like the design! If it was too simple or minimalist I really wouldn´t go for it...all my favourite t-shirts have complex designs on them :)

Not 100% sure on ordering one I´ve never had a t-shirt printed like that before...will have to check the prices and payment methods at the recommended companies.

... it is like all the discussions taking place on TeaChat all at once on one screen ...

Now if this was youtube, can you hear all that noise of all these topics being "discussed" all at once, it would give you a migraine. But TeaChat remains quiet, peaceful even with all these discussions about our obsession with tea.

Began the TD with a new sencha for a new OTTI! SweeTea approved while Wulong and Shincha said, "what she said." :mrgreen:

Have a greater TeaDay!

I like it but I think I would get it if it was a tote bag.

You can print it on a tote bag just the way I did it. If I'm not mistaken I paid $15 (which is not bad for a custom/unique) item. Later I intend to order a few more such bags, stuff them with some tea + jam + scones and give that as a Christmas gift to my friends.

Hello Jazz88,

Your TeaShirt design really is terrific. It looks like it involved quite a lot of work. Thank you! I know that I plan to put your design on several things:-)

My TeaDay started out typically but it just took a weird turn:
* Hou de's shui xian for breakfast
* Hibiki-an's 2009 pinnacle sencha for lunch.
* Tea Gallery Shizuokan Red for a Friday afternoon treat.
* ???

Shizuokan Red
I put 3 grams of leaf into a 4oz porcelain pot and brewed it for 30 seconds.
The dry leaf smelled like damp earth with a touch of hay and hint of radish.
When I placed the leaf into a pre-warmed pot the scent of steamed yellow squash poured out.
After a 30 second brew I initially got more steamed squash in the palate, but this grew into full-flavored zucchini or perhaps okra. This tea has good breadth on the palate yet is light on the tongue with most of the flavors near the edges of the tongue rather than in the middle of the palate. The shape of a taste is always important to me.

My overall impression is of a very pleasant tea with a good measure of caffeine.

The design is pretty but it's more than I want to wear - maybe on a tote bag.

Jasmine taste tests this morning - 2 versions of Jasmine Silver Needles and 2 versions of Jasmine Pearl.

Nice design!

I had the broken dregs of H&S standard Sencha (914?) this morning.

At lunch, I had a dirt cheap Genmaicha from a local corner grocer. Will probably have some rishi wu yi later tonight. I know, I know...

New orders will be trickling in next week.

THANK YOU Jazz!!!
Wow, that is a great design.
I am brimming with gratitude for your gift to this community, as I imagine all that you put into creating this beuatiful work of art.
Thank you so much.

I just ordered mine from cafepress, and can hardly wait for it's arrival.
I will wear it proudly.

Began my tea day with matcha wakamatsu, and now I'm enjoying a wan of shincha takumi.

Cheers.

I love it! Super-cool design work there. ^_^ I would definitely get it if I had spare cash-- as things are now, though, I'll probably ask for it as a Christmannukah present from a couple of my friends.

Lapsang souchong this afternoon, followed by copious amounts of iced green tea. Currently drinking some sencha with rose petals.

I'm generally not fond of message tees in general, so I will enjoy this one as a tea tote or something like....have to browse the possibilities on Zazzle. I've heard good things about the quality of their stuff. I have more t-shirts than I can ever wear out, but never have enough totes!

Today, Sayamakaori sencha to start, on to Huang Jin Gui for the afternoon, and working through the evening with EoT Mansai from the OTTI #5.

A more than decent teaDay!

Missed this yesterday!

Wonderful design! Looking forward to seeing it printed.

I can see my two granddaughters (tea drinkers) and I in matching Tea Tees! :lol:
