Oh yeah. Tea will figure: lots of it, and various kinds too.

And I'll be making matcha in this rakujawan:

I will be home for part of christmas, but then I am going to be going to San Diego. Tea is most likely going to have to sit out on this trip unfortunatly. But earlier in the day I will probably have my usual morning Green or Earl Grey
Tea, Unicycles, Video Games, Friends, and Family

I say Bring em on

Drinking an inexpensive, light Se Zhong and waiting for Santa.

Hope to get a little matcha in later and maybe even some sencha before my evening pu session.

Will be home and then away. About tea, I do whatever I can. But I don't strive hard to maintain my daily tea routine. Will surely dig around for new tea sources in another city though :D

I will be at home and tea will play a big part. Mostly because well, it's tea and any chance to drink it is good and two my mom has recently gotten into teas and likes to sample all of mine to see what she wants to by, so I'm pretty sure she will be encouraging the presence of tea.

Sal, lovey teawares - very striking.

Shogun, love Tarepanda's Christmas spirit! :)

Well, boss-man said to go home early, so I'm taking off. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, etc, etc!

I'll be at home, no doubt drinking lots of tea.

Right now I'm sipping a wonderful wuyi oolong from The Tea Gallery called "Cove Mist."

Home and then hitting the road for the family tour. Regardless of where I am, I am planning on tea playing a role in the day. I am hoping TeaGifts will be flowing.

In fact, it seems to have started already, a box marked "Best teas online" (Adagio)was literally heaved on my porch by the UPS driver's holiday support person. She gave it a toss, a good 6 feet in length as I watched it then slide on the ice forming from a wintery mix that has been falling all day and crash into a wall. Heh, the driver saw me, rolled his eyes, and waved. :roll:

I think that box will not make til morning.

Started the day with Fukamushi Supreme from O-Cha. Sweetie likes the fuka leaf! Gandalf, Pyrit, Honey, and Wulong were just in the way.

Next, Yabe Sencha from Japanese Green Tea Shop, and currently Adagio Supreme! [OOOPS EDIT: Sencha Premier]

The TeaDay is shaping up nicely.
