Saturday TeaRoom 1/24/09 Tea and your computer desktop?

[linnefaulk]

I have a standard mac photo for my desktop. I don't see much of it as if I am here, there are other widows opened.

I'm not planning to put a tea theme on my desktop.

My main obsession is volunteering to aid wildlife conservation, especially with sea-and shorebirds and marine wildlife, so those themes typically occupy my root window.

Tea enriches my body and my spirit. I don't need to keep its reminders ever in front of me. Anyway, I may be a total teahound next year, but I'm keeping it zen this year.

... and imperial pu-erh from Imperial Tea Court in my cup this morning.

Ujibashi San no Ma sencha this afternoon.

[Victoria]

I use several tea wallpapers, but this is a favorite:



In my cup currently Shan Shui Baozhong.

[Shelob]

Great poll, thank you for the idea Trey!
I do not have a tea related desktop or screen saver. I instead have a changing theme of cats, seashells and bizarro stuff as I see fit

However, I will consider adding it to my rotation.

In my cup today... I started w/grapefruit juice, then moved onto Matcha a few hours later.

Have a FabTea Day and weekend everyone

PS, hope all you guys have fun...pictures please Vulture/Victoria

It's great seeing all these desktops. Here is my lizard.

[Shelob]

Awwww, cute lizard Sal... is that some type of pompas grass or????? Love your pix today, but then again, don't I always

Chip, Gaiwan contest is perfect for Chinese New Year... but then of course that's why you did it
I am really looking forward to seeing all the 'beauties' everyone owns

After Matcha, will check my green stash and check back in.......

[Drax]

Hmmm, I wonder what lizard-tail tea would be like?

Meanwhile, I just had some homemade match ice cream ( = softened vanilla + matcha). Mmmmmmm!

Anybody can put a little shareware program, called AWC (automatic wallpaper changer) on their computer. It can be set to access specific image subdirectories and to change the images at set intervals - including tea-themed photos.

I've seen a couple of similar programs on the web, all freebies. T'aint rocket science programming - it's a capacity built into MS operating systems.

I have a variety of images that include antique and modern teaware, tea plantations, and tea-related artwork.

Java Mate in the cup.

Jasmine pearls this afternoon.
Kuradashi gyokuro SP after dinner to end a nice Teaday.

[Chip]

Received the new Sencha Suragawase from O-Cha and a gykuro sample from Sal today.

Just finishing Fukamushi Supreme O-Cha which is very nice indeed. I am thinking Matcha

[olivierco]

I am thinking Matcha

Which one?

[Chip]

I am thinking Matcha

Which one?

I think Organic Yame Matcha from TJGTS.

Before that, Trey's mention of White Symphony from Adagio has pricked my interest. This is good white tea, my current fave white.

Great poll, thank you for the idea Trey!

Thank you for the compliment!
