completely and utterly need to change 2 things. More time to relax and enjoy tea.

Pretty contented, overall, although part of the contentment is the exploration of new things, so while I doubt my tea experience will stay utterly static, I suspect it will not change too much.

I think a little change would be in order, but nothing major. Just a couple more teas-- gyokuro, rose white tea, etc.-- and much more time to enjoy it! :mrgreen:

Rose congou this afternoon, currently drinking jasmine sencha.

I am very content, but I always feel like there is more I need to learn. I really need to start getting more knowledgeable about Japanese and Korean Teas. Of course, I could always use more tea ware too. Haha!

Nothing a gigantic increase of my tea budget couldn't fix.

I chose "completely and utterly content". My tea doesn't have to be perfect so long as it's very very good. I'm enjoying the process of trying new teas, new vendors and improving my brewing skills.

In my cup yesterday, since I didn't drink tea until the evening, Jasmine Pearls from Seven Cups.

This is well said! For me, teas do not have to cost a small fortune, as long as they can approach gretness through skilled brewing! Well, this works for many sencha, not for other teas as much.

Also regarding trying new teas ... and new vendors. This is never ending! :mrgreen:
