I was born in Washington, D.C, grew up in Northern VA and transplanted down south. I remember seeing a snow flake a couple of years ago, though it may have been a pigeon with bad dandruff.
In my cup (4th pot of the day) is decaf Irish Breakfast Blend with chopped candied ginger, a couple whole cloves and a bit of broken cinnamon stick.

Jeanne - I never met a tea pot I didn't like.
Had four mugs of Yunnan Gold this morning...I love that tea.
We're all heading to the mountains to go skiing here in a couple weeks. At least, THEY will ski. I will hang around the condo by the fire, with books, tea, and music. I can't wait to get my hands on Enya's newest CD!

I voted for sun and warmth, but what I would really like is to be away from wind. (We have a lot of that in my part of Oregon!) I probably wouldn't be very happy in a place where there weren't distinct seasons.
Sal, loved the tea tasting demo on your photos today, it was both beautiful and educational - can't ask for much more than that!
Brandon, your photo was lovely also. I really like the perspective of the way the cups lead up to the pot, as well as the zen quality of the whole photo.
This morning I have a cup of Nilgiri Craigmore Estate cooling a bit before drinking. I haven't tasted it yet, but it looks and smells good.

I absolutely hate the summer time when it gets over 85*F with high humidity. I can't function at all in that kind of weather. I thrive when it gets cold and snows and I love autumn especially with all the pretty leaves, but if it is too hot or too humid, I am completely miserable.
This morning, I am drinking sencha.

Are you near Vogel at all? That's such a gorgeous area. We were there summer of 07 for a family reunion and spent the week in one of the cabins. I so want to go back and maybe during the fall.omegapd wrote:I'm tired of the Georgia heat. I don't want real cold, but a nice 4 hour trip up to the mountains would be ideal for me...
I'm all about the warmth. I would love to live somewhere that the weather was always sunny and 75+. Then I could vacation to cold places but come home to defrost. Though I am with Cinnamon kitty about not being a fan of humidity.
Snow buds mountain green in my cup again this morning. Still working on it form last night.
Nice pic Brandon, you have those cups I want!!!brandon wrote:

enjoying free wi-fi and long jing brewed for me in a local tea shop. It's six in the evening and my hangover is showing no signs of receding.
If someone offers you some Genever gin from a clay bottle at 3am I urge you to decline, no good will come of it.
I'm thinking my 90's tou cha from Nada might be the first victim when I get home.

I'm with you, though I have an even lower tolerance for heat -- above 80*F, and it's too hot for me, and the humidity doesn't really bother me until it's over 75%. That may in part be because I have really dry skin, though, so high humidity just makes me feel normal.Cinnamon Kitty wrote:I absolutely hate the summer time when it gets over 85*F with high humidity.

About to go make a cup of Qi Zhong to go with lunch.

I live in Canada so I am more inclined to daydream about the sun and warmth; especially around January. I have a long commute to work so the romantic notion of snow, fireplace, and comfort food fades in the reality of half an hour shovelling snow and an hour and a half driving on what seems like a skating rink.
However, right now its cool and overcast and the ground is still bare with the sight of green fir trees out my window. The day promises to be lazy and comfortable and has been significantly enhanced already by two mugs of Yunnan Gold.
