Definitely tea, and perhaps some other spirit. I'm heading to my mom and dad's today to spend a couple of nights, so I'll drink what they're having which might be margaritas, wine, Asti if they're feeling festive, or possibly no alcohol at all. We're not big drinkers really, unless you count my tea. :D

In my cup this morning is Yunnan Noir, very delicious. I've been in a black tea mood this week, finishing off several samples and thinking I may have to order something new soon as my black teas are reallllly low on supply.

Oh... had my first "bubble tea" yesterday... <yawn>. It was "ok". Didn't taste like tea.

Happy Tea Day to all,

Sarah

Since we will be staying home this evening, making a yummy meal and watching a movie with our son, I can pretty much drink what I want and typically, what I want is tea. We'll see what the evening brings.

This morning I have a robust cup of Harney Irish Breakfast.

Yorkshire Gold leaf tea, this morning.

I'll probably have 95% iced tea tonight, and perhaps a sip of Bailey's. Maybe. Depends on if I'm awake or not.

I will be with family tonight, and my cup will likely have TEA in it, definitely no alcohol for me.

A really nice gyokuro session to start the TeaDay. Sweetie was greedy, Gandalf and Kati just ran interference. :D

Remember to be safe tonight, everyone ...and watch out for the other guy!!!!!

Well I guess there won't be much traffic!

In my cup this morning Adagio Darjeeling #2.

Have a nice day everyone!
Hey V, I was on the road to work at 5:30 this morning also!

I don't know what our plans are for the evening, but I will probably be drinking hot chocolate or tea.

Nilgiri Thiashola this morning.

Thanks V!! Nice to know I'm not the only one!
Probably get to cut out early, but it's the
morning that kills me.

I need to brew ...

I'll be sharing some teas with friends and family in the early evening and champagne with them later -- a blanc-de-noirs from Ambonnay.

Morning cup was a Hou de Zheng-Yen Shui Xian.

Happy New Year folks. Be safe and be well.

I'm going to drink some gyokuro or matcha in a bit. I almost got sucked in by ippodo's New Year's special offerings at the last minute, and then I tabulated how much tea I already have en route (and how much I just spent on it). Maybe next year, Ippodo!

No clue. We were supposed to drive to our friend's house for New Years, but there is a rather large amount of lake effect snow and high winds over a good chunk of central New York, so I don't know if we are going to go today or just wait until tomorrow. It was a complete mess out this morning at least. If we actually get to where we are supposed to go, there will be a severe lack of tea except for what I bring with me. If we stay home, then there will be as much tea as I want and maybe a glass of wine. That all depends on the weather.

Starting my day with some YM from O-cha. Absolutely fantastic!

I am not really a fan of champagne, so I'll be celebrating tonight with tea... maybe the "champagne of teas" to keep in the celebratory spirit.

My swollen throat is slowly feeling better thanks to tea and ice cream. But now I'm losing my voice. Something that I'm sure my coworker is happy about as I am just a wee bit chatty. I know, everyone is shocked at that, right?

Pineapple tea this morning and some Namring FTGFOP1 2nd flush floating around in my purse for later.

Happy New Year's all!

I've decided to stop drinking tea after 4pm. I got really messed up on this during the holiday :P

And I have lots of oolongs coming in near future. So I've decided to dedicate this week to greens and a little bit of black :D

Zhu Ye Qing this morning and I am planning to have huang shan mao feng and then lao zhu da fang in the afternoon :D

Hm, probably no alcohol for me. Mostly prep for tomorrow going on tonight. I'll probably have a fair amount of tea though. Although if I could find a bottle of that golden star sparkling tea stuff I would go for that.
