The same old Hankook travel set. Since Olivierco brought them up last week, I'm even thinking about getting another from that series.

I don't have anything of that sort but would like a quiet fountain. There are times I just light a candle and just sit there staring at the flame to zone out.

This morning, having again the mateVana sample I received the other day. Reminds me of a tootsie roll

No fountains here. I find that the only fountains that really relax me are outside, I just don't buy into it when they're inside - I end up thinking the sink is running or something.

This morning was an attempt at multiple steeps of the adagio yunnan jig ampler. Bad idea lol...

I don't have anything like that, but I do want it. Once I'm done with my studies and get a job I'll buy a house. And there I will make sure to dedicate one room to tea and relaxation, always wanted that.

Enjoying some Gyokuro Kame-giru shi now. I saw the bottom of the tea caddy holding that tea now, that can't be good

Feel the same.

Talking about feng shui, I do have a small brass gong that I put next to the window (supposedly a feng shui instrument, has nothing to do with tea though). I am not into feng shui at all. Why do I have it there? Just because it doesn't cost me any money or work, it doesn't occupy much space, barely noticeable, and it stays there quite

My fish tank not only produces the tinkling sound of water, but has a clownfish providing a sedate show(they tend to hover alot.)

Its sort of fountain like

Organic Uji gyokuro being brewed as I type(to the sound of tinkling water.)

Hum... come to think of it, many of you guys avatars are so "feng shui". Chip's has mountain and "shui" there. Sal's has "yu", which is definitely a lucky sign. And I remember ABx has the lion rotating a ball, which is very much feng shui. Some avatars have mysterious things, like (somewhat) abstract views or cute kitty hidden in a cup. I guess many of them can be interpreted in feng shui way

Now I am waiting for my kettle to blow the feng, and my first shui today will be long jing

Don't have one but I would like to have a fountain and a fish tank as well (so pretty)
But in a rented apartment in NYC it's kind of difficult. Oh well ...

Fukamushi Sencha Superior from Hibiki-an in my cup right now. I've really enjoyed both of the senchas I've had from them so far, will definitely be ordering some shincha off them this year.... oooo shincha I can't wait!!!

I have a gong too - but no fountain.

In my cup this morning a Nilgiri from ToT called Neela.
One of my favorites.

Have a nice day everyone!

Congrats on being the first to mention SHINCHA this year, not once, but twice!

I have a fountain running close by, the sound is soothing, the water shimmering is pleasing. I am in the mood for tea. I would be anyway, but the fountain is so complimentary to the desire.

Started the TeaDay with Fukamushi Supreme again. The second steep is quite intense. Sweetie did not mind though, Wulong watched from my shoulders, and Koi just wanted to knock teaware over, she is all about creating chaos out of order.

Actually, I believe I was the first to mention it this year.
Ha!

Hm, no decorative fountains for me. I used to have one a few years back, but it was a pain in the butt to keep watered. I didn't really keep it around where I drank tea either.

This morning's cup: SA Sencha.

does my toilet count? such a calming sound as the tank refills

by **Charlotte** » Jan 5th, '09, 12:55

Nope - to me it just sound like work. I have 2 little kids and a cat, I just can't imagine what on earth the three of them could do to a fountian!

Jade Oolong in my cup this morning.
